NGC 1491 The Fossil Footprint Nebula - telescope processed image. A massive 11th-magnitude star at its center emits powerful winds that have "blown" a distinct bubble in the surrounding gas.

NGC 1491 The Fossil Footprint Nebula - unprocessed image. This emission nebula in Perseus glows deep red as its hydrogen gas is ionized by intense ultraviolet light from hot, young stars.

Next of the observation list, #NGC1491 #TheFossilFootprintNebula. The s50 does a better job on this nebula. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

NGC 1491 The Fossil Footprint Nebula - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. NGC 1491, nicknamed the "Fossil Footprint Nebula," is a glowing HII emission cloud in Perseus. A hot central star's stellar winds are carving a bubble in its gas.

NGC 1491 The Fossil Footprint Nebula - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. It’s nicknamed the "Fossil Footprint Nebula" because a powerful hot blue star is blowing a gaseous bubble that carves a recognizable shape into the cloud.

Here are some results from the s50’s planned observations from last night. Starting with #NGC1491 #TheFossilFootprintNebula. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

NGC 1491 The Fossil Footprint Nebula - telescope processed image. It's a glowing emission nebula in Perseus (~9,800 light-years away). Its gas is ionized by a massive central star that creates a "footprint" shape.

NGC 1491 The Fossil Footprint Nebula - unprocessed image. A bright star, BD +50 886, sits in its core! Its powerful stellar wind is carving out the "footprint" shape by blowing a bubble in the gas.

Last observation on the s50 planner from last night. Here is #NGC1491 #TheFossilFootprintNebula. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

Première photo en SHO. 😅
C'est donc la petite nébuleuse dans Persée NGC1491 qui inaugure le compte.
90mn en HAlpha, 2,5h en OIII et 2h40mn en SII.
Léger traitement de l'histogramme et un peu de flou pour masquer le bruit de fond.
