10mm – 13.9mm Eyepieces: These work well for all objects including brighter nebula and galaxies a good mid/high range magnification. 14mm – 17.9mm Eyepieces: These are a great mid range magnification and will help resolve globular clusters, galaxy details and planetary nebulae. What eyepiece i...
Having a camera that is sensitive to this wavelength of light (Hα) can make a big difference when it comes to certain emission nebulae such as the California Nebula,Eagle Nebula, and many more. For those looking to take advantage of this modification, you can send your camera away for a...
M76 is often referred to as “The Little Dumbbell.” Originally discovered by Messier’s assistant MÈchain in September of 1780, Charles didn’t get around to cataloging it for another six weeks. What a shame it took him so long to view this fine planetary nebula!
The Crab Nebula (M1) appeared as a bright green root system of a small tree or bush rolled up into a ball, a truly three dimensional appearance. Around the large tubular structures was fine hair like filaments shooting out in all directions, it reminded me of the green hair of an elf t...
For larger telescopes only, it will be a challenge to find this 12″ diameter, magnitude 13.5 planetary nebula I.1747 in the same field as magnitude 3.3 Epsilon! Using both Delta and Epsilon as our “guide stars” let’s draw an imaginary line between the pair extending from southwest to ...
