Description

IC1345, Mérope or Temple Nebula, is the reflection nebula that surrounds the star Merope, the 5th member of the Pleiades cluster in Taurus. IC349 (Barnard's Mérope Nebula) is a small reflection nucleus, 30 arcsec in diameter, located 36 arcmin (0.06 light years) from the star Mérope. In the photography, it is visible as a small spot at 1 o'clock above to Merope. It is a bright object and not difficult to capture. However, the process has been difficult for me. It is an object rich in brightness, faint nebulosities and details in the lines and color.
