Another recast of a Sharpless2 object with General Hyperbolic Stretch and the CMOS camera.
According to GalaxyMap below this is supposed to be very faint.
I put the details of the processing in step by step in the discussion, page 5.
GHS Forum DiscussionFrom GalaxyMap:The very faint nebula in the image may be ionised by the B 2.5V class star [F89b] S79 1. Other sources state that at least some of the visual emission in this direction may be associated with the supernova remnant SNR G49.2-0.7 (also called
W51C) which is believed to be at a distance of 6 kpc.
Avedisova combines Sh 2-79 and W51C in the star formation region
SFR 48.96-0.55 along with four infrared sources.
GENERAL NOTE ON SHARPLESS2 OBJECTS>>>>>>>>>>>>>There are 313 Sh2 objects. All now imaged.
