IC1283, IC 1284

In July 2008 I spent some time at the Tivoli astrofarm in Namibia. During that stay I took several images of the southern sky, one of them was the emission nebula IC 1283 in the constellation Sagittarius.

Data calibration and registration was done with DeepSkyStacker and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:

In the image you can find the main-belt asteroid (150) Nuwa.
