Description |
||||
This image is a cooperative 25 hour effort and displays some blue nebulous area that is either reflection nebula or perhaps dust. We have not noted this feature in other examples of this object or reference to it in the literature. Collective work on the processing of this image leads us to believe this is not a gradient or flat induced phenomenon but is in fact real, and perhaps brought out by the use of long subframes (90 min Ha) and the long total integration time for this image.
