Tulip Nebula Sh2-101 (widefield)

[carastro]

Tulip Nebula showing the surrounding gas and dust. Single image with Samyang 135mm lens (i.e. not a Mosaic)
I added some data taken last year with a smaller lens and tried to add it into the mix, so the right hand side has twice as much Ha data than the left hand side. The little blue reflection nebula doesn't seem to have come out very well, but considering this was with a camera lens, from Bortle 8 and in Astronomical Twilight, I guess it is not surprising.

Ha 20 x 600secs on Left and 43 x 600secs on the right. Baader 7.5nm
Oiii 16 x 300 binned x 2
Sii 13 x 300 binned x 2
Atik460EX and Atik428EX with Samyang 135mm F2 lens @ f2.8
HEQ5
Total imaging time 9h 35m

Hello Carole,

this is a fantastic wide field with the Soap Bubble, the Wolf-Rayet 134, and last but not least the Tulip!

Thank you for sharing,

Have I got the Soap Bubble in there? I just did a search for it and I think it is just out of the FOV.
I knew I had the WR134 which hasn't come out very well I guess due to the focal length, it being Bortle 8 and there was no true astro darkness.

I can only locate the Soap Bubble in relation to the Crescent which isn't in there.

That's a beautiful WFOV image Carole. You did a nice job bringing out all the dust in this area. I always enjoy your images.

PS: I looked for the Bubble and couldn't find it either. Maybe we both missed it??

Cheers,
Steve
