Description

Abell 82 or one of my bugbears, of which I have several. Another name could be the Apple Core Nebula, for obvious reasons.Tried this one in 2006. Disappointing. Tried again in 2010 but gave up in disgust, couldn't even bother saving the few lousy frames I collected. Finally tried in earnest in 2012 with some results worth showing. I should have collected more lights but the mount was on its last gasps and you wouldn't know when it was going for good. So this one stays, faint as it may be.

The image itself is a multi-spectral composite as follows:

R =H-alpha

G=(G+OIII)/2

B=(B+OIII)/2
