WR134

This is the latest image I've put together. It's called WR 134. WR 134 is a bubble of ionized Oxygen caused by the super hot Wolf-Rayet star HD 191765 in the constellation Cygnus. I've imaged this object before using my 6" refractor but wanted to see what I could do with a much smaller 3" refractor and color camera. I used my Stellarvue Telescopes SV80S carbon fiber refractor and ASI 2600 MC pro CMOS camera on a ZWO AM5 mount. Its a small and light weight package with a fairly large field of view.

The image was taken at the Okie-Tex Star Party a few weeks ago. The image is comprised of 4hrs of normal RGB exposures plus 27.3 hrs of HII and OIII narrowband data taken with a Antlia 5nm ALP-T dual narrow band filter.

Within the field of view are many other objects and I included a annotated version of the image so you can find them.
