IC2944
| Date/Place | 2009-05-22 at Farm Hakos, Namibia |
| Coordinates | AR 11h 38m 00s DEC -63° 22'00" |
| Instrument | Takahashi FSQ85ED |
| Camera | Modified 450D |
| Integration | 14x600 sec. at ISO800.
Preprocessing with IRIS, sigma clip and stretch with PICTools, final stretch and noise reduction with PixInsight LE. |
| Comment | Very nice HII region. A lot of colours and details mainly from the emission nebula, but I'd like to point out the reflection nebula visible west of IC2948.
It's also interesting to see the Bok globules inside the main nebula. It might be worth posting a crop of this area for better view. |
