CG4

An unusual object. This is a Cometary Globule.

There are only a few images around of this southern object.

Thomas Davis has the best one.

Here is my version taken about 3 weeks ago under good to excellent seeing.

Tak BRC250, Apogee U16M camera, Tak NJP mount and Baader filters (these filters have excellent red response).

LRGB 105 45 45 30.

The Vela Supernova Remnant

Posted By Greg Bradley
I love this area of the Southern Sky.

The result of a massive supernova it encompasses a large area of the sky of which my image is
only a small part. My recent Herchel's Ray image posted here is a part of this complex.

Tak BRC 250, Apogee U16M camera, Baader LRGB filters, Astrodon O111 and Ha filters.

HaO111LRGB 35 160 60 60 60 60 a total of 7 hours and 15 minutes.

Taken from my dark site observatory in NSW Australia approx 150kms inland (West) of Sydney in the Great Dividing Range.

A beautiful Southern Hemisphere galaxy. I've wanted to image this one for a while as it is
a southern classic and one of the brighter galaxies.

Advice wanted on planetary cams

Posted By Greg Bradley
I usually do DSO imaging so a bit out of the loopon planetary cameras.

What are some of the better planetary cams to use?

I see DMK and SKYnyx are used often. There are several models though, so which are better and
which are best?

Is mono and colour filters the way for best resolution like it is with DSO imaging?
