This week we feature the Cone nebula region, a 3-frame (horizontal) mosaic taken with the Hyperstar III on the C11 with an M25C OSC CCD. On the left we have the Cone nebula, the central beautiful golden open cluster is Trumpler 5 (for some reason you don’t see many images of that beauty), and on the right we have reflection/dark nebula IC2169. There’s really a lot going on in this region and it includes an example of each type of nebulosity as well. It might well be worth taking another look at this area with the 200mm lenses/2600MC Pro CMOS cameras and Optolong L-Enhance filters with 20-minute subs and see what we end up with.
