Description

IC 349 is a small 30 arcsec reflection nebula beside the star Merope. The distance is 440 Lj.
Weather forecast was fog, but did not yet show up. I used the time to get a quick shot of the seven sisters with the C11 and had the small nebula in mind!
After 2 hrs the predicted fog was there, but I collected 90 pictures, 1 min each.
I made already in 2019 a picture which can be found there, but not as good as this one:


Merope Nebel IC 349   

My first picture was this one with the wrong IC number!
