IC 2118

Subject:IC 2118, the Witch Head Nebula.
Telescope:Takahashi FSQ-106n
Mount:Losmandy G-11
Imager:ST-8XME non-E non-ABG CCD
Image Details:An addition of 24 five minute integrations for a total of 2 hours integration time. This is a very faint reflection nebula, so filters really do not help a whole lot in this case. This was part of a TLRBSE project involving the Spitzer Space Telescope which is imaging the northern sections of IC2118 to detect planetary system formation.
