Description

Sh2-284 Nebula in Monoceros using Hubble Palette

This nebula is located very near Orion but is often overlooked in lieu of M42 and other more notable objects. Closer examination shows the nebula contains its own "pillars of creation" type star forming regions, as in the Eagle Nebula. The nebula also encompasses an open star cluster, called Dolidze 25, which contributes energy to the gaseous emissions.

Images taken by a QSI683-wsg8 camera with NB filters and a Takahashi FSQ-106 scope on a Paramount MyT from Deep Sky West's dark sky site in New Mexico. Processed with PixInsight 1.8.8-5.

Subframes taken over numerous nights in 2019.

Data now redone in January 2024 using the modern version of PixInsight and Russell Croman's Xterminator suite of AI based tools.
