Deep Sky Objects

The following images are magnifications of the same original wide field image. In this way each object can be shown in a standard field of 3o x 3o and the colors and magnitudes can be compared. You should be aware, that the original image is a wide field view with a normal photographic lens! For some objects a telescope or telephoto lens image is available.

    • The so called Coal Sack, the dark region south of the Cross, does not fit in our standard field of view and is best seen in the entire photography. It is an interstellar dust cloud absorbing the light of the stars behind and so appearing as a so called Dark Nebulae.
