Lowers Nebula

Ian Stewart All Messages By This Member #57372 Last night was a perfect night for imaging. Cool temps, good transparency and seeing. Here is a few hours on a less well known nebula - Sh2-261 Lowers Nebula. I haven't photographed this in quite a few years. Cheers Ian
Jonathan Scheetz All Messages By This Member #57373 Great image Ian.? A good Rorschach test - my first impression after a couple of seconds was a cloud of two big lips swooping in for kiss.? I guess I'm just a romantic at heart.? - Jonathan?

jimcoble2000 All Messages By This Member #57375 It was a good night last night. Dry and very transparent. Good transit of Europa across Jupiter. Terrible Mars seeing. Oh and a very interesting observation. Around 8:30 or so a very very bright satellite went by Mars. I have never seen such a bright satellite. It was brighter than Mars (really) and quite gold colored. I assume it was the NASA solar sail. Nothing else would be that bright. Good image as always Ian. Happy new years.

Kent Blackwell All Messages By This Member #57378 I've only suspected seeing Lower's Nebula once from Coinjock NC using my 25" Dobsonian: ? Lower's Nebula - Sh 2-261 (Bright Nebula in Orion) Observed: Jan 19, 2014, 9:20:00 PM I could barely see some slight brightening as I moved the scope. The OIII filter didn't help.?
Ted Forte All Messages By This Member #57380 开云体育 OK, perhaps this is cheating somewhat (so sue me). ?But I’ve enjoyed Lower’s Nebula twice with the 18-inch Dob using a PVS-14 white phosphor night vison device and a 7nm h-alpha filter atop a 50mm Russel Optics Plossl. It’s quite obvious with this combination: “large, bright, and annular with wispy extensions”. Not so very unlike Ian’s photograph. (12/5/2021 and 9/18/2023) ?
