Description

During a night of relatively good Seeing and transparency I

decided to give this rather hard target a shot.

IC 349 aka Merope's ghost or Barnards Merpoe Nebula is a reflection nebula of about 30" aparent size. Due to its proximity to the bright star Merope (30") it hard to get it imaged well.

Imaged native 3500mm focal length at Gain 100 Offset 0 Binning 2x2

300 x 5s L

100 x 5 RGB each.

The image ist about 50% croped.
