NGC1333 in the Perseus molecular cloud

[swag72]

NGC 1333 is the currently most active region of star formation in the Perseus molecular cloud. It was first discovered by Eduard Schonfeld in 1855 and is a bright reflection nebula in the western portion of the Perseus molecular cloud. The star BD +30◦549 illuminates NGC 1333 and was found to be a B8 spectral type. It is approximately 1000 light years away and is about 15 light years in diameter.

This is a total combination of 25 hours worth of data, each exposure was 10 minutes long. This is a change for me as the filters used are the more standard RGB ones and so the colour is as it really is.... no false colours as I usually do.

I'm in awe of your dedication to what you do. I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said, except I need to do it the justice of firing up the desktop and looking on a decent screen.

Amazing as always Sara






(I can see ... naw lets not )

More like a luck dragon than jabba

 

[Mark Johnson]

Almost incredible......actually incredible

Needs a scale rule to Begin to understand what the image represents....

Brilliant capture......

Mj

 

[Nod]

Well, I see Jabba looking at me in the mirror every time I forget not to look! Is the Luck Dragon from Never Ending Story?

Whatever we can see (or think we see!), I'm in awe of Sara's capture and PP skills not to mention her patience and dedication.

Thanks again

Astro does indeed take patience and a degree of stubbornness

Surely you are not stubborn.........

 

[swag72]

Cheers Callum!!

Oh yes Mark I am rather stubborn

 

[buxtonmick]

Breathtaking. I have great difficulty in comprehending the fact that it's a photo of a real subject that's actually there, or was ( I can't even express what I mean, it's just so enormous!)

 

[Cg_Girl]

Another awesome image from you Sara, breathtaking it really is and something i could sit for hours looking at

 

[swag72]

Thanks both! I guess that it's still there Mick (although it could be a different shape or form now as it's 1000 light years away) and the light that I've captured left 1000 years ago
