Description

The fourth image in the study shows one of the most beautiful objects in the cosmos, which oddly has no catalogue designation--Pickering's Triangle in the Veil Nebula. This was a fun study to complete--much easier than the Virgo Galaxy Cluster study that required an 18-panel wide-angle mosaic and 18 individual galaxy shots at a long focal length. As anyone who follows us may be starting to figure out, we like to pick these large targets, capture the whole thing in a wide angle with the small WO Z61 refractor, and then drill in on the interesting bits with the C11.
