NGC1333

This kind of an interesting nebula. Some of our Astromart colleagues have done some real nice images of NGC 1333. I actually took some H-Alpha data for this reflection nebula - I picked up a few H-Alpha photons. Its also kind of dusty in the region. I wasn't aware how close NGC 1333 is to constellation borders. This image is partly in Perseus, Taurus, and Aries. Image is here:

Optic - Zenithstar 66 mm APO at f/4.3 (with WO FFIII)
Camera - Artemis285 HA LRGB filters (Astronomik)
Mount - G11 / Gemini
Guiding - Megrez II at 555 mm FL, DSI Pro, PHD Guiding

That whole area seems to have interesting "stuff" scattered everywhere. Nice capture and processing on this one Jim!

Nice widefield shot Jim,

cheers,

Jeff, Tyler,
Thanks for the comments.

Love the image Jim... great objects in the area, lovely colors & detail.
Thank you for sharing! 8)

Nice shot. I agree - lots going on in this field. I am not sure I would expect much H-alpha though. But that is why you try it, right? To see what is there.
