Description

vdb152 Wolfs Cave Nebula with Barnard 175 and LBN538 in Cepheus. Taken from the island of La Palma, Spain. I took this picture during one of my trips to Roque de Los Muchachos with my mobile astrophotography equipment. At an altitude of 2000m a.s.l. I found a good observing site at the Pista de Gallegos, a small road turning north from LP-4 near Roque de Los Muchachos. Due to a weather phenomenon called Calima, observing conditions were difficult, with clouds and very poor seeing. Therefore, I had little time to collect enough light for this very faint object. The colorful circular nebula to the right hand side of the image is LBN538, a Strömgren Sphere.
The setup with the rented 10micron GM1000HPS and the Aries tripod from the ATHOS Star Campus, and my own image train with the proven TMB 115/805 APO and the ASI6200MM was a good choice!
