Sh2-173
From time to time I obtain data sets from remote observatories. One of my favorite providers is Deep Sky West with telescopes in Chile and New Mexico. One of the data sets I received, was data from the HII-region Sh2-173, located in the constellation Cassiopeia.
The images were taken with the following equipment (DSW):
Location | Rowe, New Mexico |
Telescope | Astro Physics RH305 |

Focal ratio | 3,8 |
Mount | Paramount ME |
Camera | SBIG STX 16803 |

Exposure time [min] | 240:240:190:720:270:180 |
Resolution | 1,66″/px |
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight.
The RGB bicolor result was as follows:
