Description

This is from Saturday night with the double Esprit Rig. Esprit 150 with 0,79 x reducer and ASI071 for RGB (34 x 10 min) and Esprit 100 with ASI1600MM for Ha (48 x 10 min).

In the RGB data there is not even a hint of the nebula, so this one is very very faint. In Image B the RGB image can be seen with the Ha fading in and out.

SH2-224 is a supernova remnant in the constellation Auriga, a remnant of an exploded star about 15,000 light years away. The nebula does not appear to have a proper name. Flying Bat nebula could be a good one, or Flying Cat nebula, or something more ghostly.

Last image from Sweden for a while since I am off to Australia for a month. Will bring a travel scope.
