Stellarvue SV80 f/6 Astrograph
Uploaded 10/11/23

 
This
            week I would like to share with you another new shot from our
            observatory located in Happy Jack Arizona. This is CED214 also
            known as Sharpless 2-171 in the constellation of Cepheus, shown
            here in the standard North Up orientation. This object is a bright
            knot in NGC7822, and the remaining nebulosity is a dim diffuse
            cloud. Beautiful dark obscuring nebula are contained within,
            and some intruiging bright rimmed areas reminicent of some components
            seen in brighter objects such as M8 or M16. This is an RGB shot
            with a OSC camera with the target near the zenith. Technical
            data: Scope: Stellarvue SV80S astrograph @ f/4.7, Camera: ASI071MCpro,
