Sh2-036. The object is very faint needing long exposure to bring forth the reddish Hii dust in the image. There are several galaxies in this image as well.
There’s nothing particularly interesting in the image. Just a bit of ionized hydrogen in hanging out in space – ain’t radiation something?
I imaged this on April 29th with the Esprit 120ED and ASI2600MC riding an Eq6r Pro mount. 54 subframes at 300″ each, or 4.5 hours of exposure. I had intended to get more data but we’ve had cloudy nights since.
