VdB152 Reflection Nebula, PK111.0+11.6 Planetary Nebula
63 x 6 minutes exposure RGB with QHY8 on
C14
Hyperstar 675mm
f/2
in Ebreichsdorf/Austria July 2012.
Described as a dusty curtain or ghostly apparition, mysterious reflection nebula
vdB 152 really is very faint. It lies about 1400 light-years away, along the
northern Milky Way in the royal constellation Cepheus. Near the edge of a large
molecular cloud, pockets of cosmic dust in the region block light from
background stars or scatter light from the embedded bright star (mid-right)
giving parts of the nebula a characteristic blue color. Ultraviolet light from
the star is also thought to cause a dim reddish luminescence in the nebular dust.
Though stars do form in molecular clouds, this star seems to have only
accidentally wandered into the area, as its measured velocity through
interstellar space is very different from the cloud’s velocity. This deep
telescopic image spans about 7 light-years at the estimated distance of vdB 152.

This images were the first made with the New
Hyperstar on my C14.
To eliminate the ugly spikes introduced by the cables of the CCD camera i built
a device which keeps the cabling precisely in a way that
ALL SPIKES are eliminated!
In addition i used right angle plugs
for the power and USB cable. The original cables of the QHY8 also introduce
spikes
