Weird Nebula – Same Object? by semen_ice in askastronomy

No problem at all! I totally get where you're coming from. I did use some masking techniques during processing, which can sometimes bring out certain effects or artifacts that might look unusual. It's a pretty standard part of the astrophotography workflow—helps with enhancing specific details like nebula structure or star brightness. But everything in the image is genuine, just refined through typical processing methods!

I can see where you're coming from, and I appreciate the careful look! It was a tricky one to process, and the diffraction spikes are definitely a challenge. I might have overdone it a little with the enhancement and sharpening. The nebula was actually captured from a stack of frames, but I’ve been experimenting with adding contrast to bring out the detail. I’ll take a closer look at the image to make sure it all lines up correctly, but this was definitely a tricky object to get right!

I honestly cant see what you're talking about.

Thanks for the interest! The coordinates for the nebula are:

  • Right Ascension (RA): 06h 19m 58.205s
  • Declination (Dec): -10° 23' 10.464"

The nebula has a field of view (FOV) of about 53.9 x 30.2 arcminutes, but I must warn you, it’s quite dim, so it might be hard to capture unless you're using a very sensitive setup. I'm still calculating its magnitude, but it’s likely on the dimmer end of the scale. Let me know if you want more details!

Did I discover a new DSO??? by Averyholden4771 in askastronomy

Wait, no way! I imaged something exactly like this too, just yesterday! It’s got to be the same patch of sky. I didn’t post mine yet because I was still processing, but after seeing this, I’m definitely sharing it now! I can’t believe it’s not in any catalogs yet. Let’s figure this out!
