M52 and a Manyfer

#1

Post by sdbodin »


More than a twofer, but less than infinity, M52 is surrounded by HII regions, most famous, the Bubble NGC7536, then the Lobster Claw, Sh2-157, and the Cave, Sh2-155. Many lesser object, clusters NGC7510,7419, Sh2-154,161, nebula NGC7538, LBN 544,557, LDN 1218,1248, VDB 155 and the list goes on. Probably missed as many as I spelled wrong. Forgot, that nova, V1405 too. Anyway, just a short exposure with that amazing Rokinon 135f2 lens.
