NGC 5367
Image Description and Details : Details: NGC 5367 and Barnard 146E are an interesting mixture of bright and dark nebulosity in Centaurus. The brightest portion is the reflection nebula NGC 5367 surrounding a 9th magnitude star. A second fainter portion is visible in an 8" telescope, a little southeast of the brightest portion, surrounding a 10th magnitude double star. This would be an interesting region for a visual observer with a large telescope.

Image Description and Details : Details: Deneb is a first-magnitude star in the constellation of Cygnus, the swan. It is one of the vertices of the asterism known as the Summer Triangle and the "head" of the Northern Cross. It is the brightest star in Cygnus and the 19th brightest star in the night sky, with an average apparent magnitude of +1.25. This area lies in the plane of the Milky Way and is very rich in emission nebulae. Right down you can see NGC 7000/The North America Nebula, IC 5067/The Pelican Nebula, NGC 6989 an open cluster, 57 Cygni, IC 5068. Just a bit below left to Deneb is 55 Cygni and at the bottom left is IC 5076.
Exif : L = 50 x 180 seconds , R = 46 x 180 seconds , G = 46 x 180 seconds , B = 46 x 180 seconds , f/3.6 (with 0.73x focal reducer) , 382 mm
