Another version of this group using my new CMOS camera.
Used the new version of StarXterminator (2.0.1 AI 11- full AI). Very slow but you can use now faster AIs, but the star correction is excellent... also is the destarring.
Previous version with 7+h on CCD.
Sh2 151 H-alpha and RGB Discussion of GHS aspects of processing:
GHS Forum DiscussionFrom GalaxyMap:Five molecular clouds are part of the Sh 2-151 complex and have a total of 29 thousand solar masses. About 700 solar masses has been ionised by an unseen star that is likely obscured by dust in one of the molecular clouds.
A fuzzy but interesting image that shows the molecular cloud structure of Sh 2-151 can be seen in this
MSX infrared image here. This image is very similar to the radio image shown in figure 2a of
this 1998 paper.
