Sh2-254 - Nebula in Orion

SH2-254 - Nebula in Orion

Description: An interesting group of nebula in Orion but even with 2.5 hours of exposure this group still seems weak. The left-most nebula is IC2162, next is Sh2-256 and the really small one below that is Sh2-257. The largest of the three is Sh2-254. All are a challenge visually. Camera: SBIG ST-8XE at -15C Filter: Schuler 10nm hydrogen-alpha Scope: Takahashi FSQ-106N Mount: Losmandy G-11 Digital Exposure: 5 x 30 minutes Location: Wilson Coulee Observatory, Alberta Date: February 11, 2006
