Description

Hello friends. What else to do, when it's raining here in CT. I was able to process the Medusa Nebula tonight. Was taken last week, on the 22nd. Trusty, portable iOptron Cem25p with a Stellavue 80mm F7, and .8 FF/R. Zwo 294 MC Pro at -15c, and gain 175. All integrated with an AsiAir. 105 minutes worth of individual 5 minute exposures with an Optolong L-eNhance filter. Medusa Nebula/Abell 21 planetary nebula is PK205+14.1. It is also listed as Sharpless 2-274. Although initially thought to be a supernova remnant, the Medusa is a large PN in Gemini about 1,500 light years distant and 4 light years across. It is considered to be an old planetary nebula. Enjoy !
