Description

IC2087, Barnard 22; Taurus

Astro Systeme Austria N12 f/3.5 astrograph

KAI-11000M; SBIG STL

Total Exposure 11 Hours; LRGB 300:120:120:120 minutes; unbinned

November 2007; Inkom, ID

Comments: This is another region in Taurus that contains many dark and dusty nebulae. IC 2087 is the center reflection nebula with Barnard 22 the surrounding dark nebula. I find these nebulae to be very challenging to process. The convensional processing techniques do not always work on these types of targets. The background has been lightened a little bit to bring out the finer details in the dark nebula.
