NGC 6559
From time to time I obtain data sets from remote observatories. One of my favorite providers is Telescope Live with telescopes in e.g. Chile, Australia and Spain. One of the data sets I received, was data from the star forming region NGC 6559 , located in the constellation Sagittarius.
The images were taken with the following equipment (Telescope Live CHI-1):
Location | El Sauce Observatory, Chile |
Telescope | Planwave CDK24 |
Focal length [mm] | 3900 |
Focal ratio | 6.5 |
Mount | Mathis MI-1000/1250 |
Camera | FLI Proline 9000 |
Filter | Hα:R:G:B |
Exposure time [min] | 280:280:260:260 |
Resolution | 0.62″/px |
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:
