Description

Dust of Perseus

Lying a thousand light years away, in the constellation of Perseus, lies NGC 1333. It is a reflection nebula which basically is a region of dust and gases which are reflected back from the light of a nearby star. It is a region of  beautiful chaos arising out of a dense group of stars being born. Dusty regions intrigue me a lot and I am very fascinated by seeing some brilliant images on various platforms of the dusty regions in Taurus and Perseus. They are best brought out with widefield mosaics with long exposures and a deft hand at post processing. A fast scope such as the E180 married to a modern sensor is best suited for the job.
