Description

IC 349, also known as Barnard's Merope Nebula

Reflection nebula which lies 3500 AUs (0.06 light years) from the star Merope in the Pleiades cluster.

Difficult target as it needs high focal length and subs to match up just the right exposure.

Tried with ZWO 1600 MM-PRO with GSO 6 inch RC.

1 min x 10 B frames

1 min x 6 R frames

No L & G frames captured.

Imaged from city sky.
