Description

Sh2-101 is a H II region emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is sometimes also called the Tulip Nebula because it appears to resemble the outline of a tulip when imaged photographically. It was catalogued by astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 catalog of nebulae. Wikipedia: Distance to Earth: 5,871 light years, Size: 70 light-years across. Equipment used: SW ED100 esprit Triplet Apo on HEQ5 Pro mount with ZWO 294MC Pro main cam and ZWO 120mini guidecam, 60mm guidescope, ASI Air Plus, Optolong L enhance filter, ZWO EAF, Bathinov mask, dew heater straps and powered by two Jackery units. Epic data acquisition for 3 hours, yielded 2 full mosaics worth of data, 15 x 180sec light subs per panel for Tulip nebula (+ surrounding nebulous clouds) and Crescent nebula (+ surrounding nebulous clouds), and North America + Pelican + surrounding nebulous clouds (one test shot each).. yaay!!! Processed/integrated in Astro Pixel Processor, each panel processed individually and then integrated together to create the final mosaiced image. Post processing done in Pixinsight, with touch-ups in Paintshop pro for clarity and vibrancy... two versions, original stars deemphasized and Stars-Spiked
