Description

In November Andreas Zirke posted an image of what he called "EGB 10 - a mysterious image in Draco". It is very very faint and it got me excited and over two nights I have now aimed my dual-RASA rig at it, catching more data than ever before with this rig on a single object. My image is rather different from that of Andreas, with less pronounced limits to the Oiii and Ha emissions, but I used broader dual band filter (IDAS NBZ Ha & Oiii) that does not give as sharp edges of NB data as 3nm filters, but appears to pick up quite a lot of RGB data, in addition to a lot of Oiii in the object. Combined with the big aperture of the RASA it found a lot of Integrated Flux Nebulosity (IFN) in the area and this largely dominates the image. But still EGB10 stands out centrally as something rather special and "mysterious". As you see the Astrobin annotation found nothing to annotate but gave the coordinates, even if this is a wide field image with 2.3 degrees fied radius, so it i quite alone out there.....
