A new set of wide fields vs closeups

Weather looks kind of good now, I might have something new to publish in few days! I never have had a first light for the Autumn season so late...


Since the weather doesn't support shooting any new material, I have done more image pairs from same target in different focal lengths, usually a 200-300mm camera lens and my old Meade LX200 GPS 12" telescope.

I have done earlier some scale studies  from the same material, with Moon circle as a scale.

Now I have done just simple image pairs, showing both, a wide field and a closeup.

IC 410, in Auriga, a "cosmic fertilization"

Ra 05^h 22^m 39^s Dec -33° 31′ 01″

HST-palette, (HST=Hubble Space Telescope)

from the emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.

IC405, the "Flaming Star Nebula"

An emission Nebula in constellation Auriga

Images are in Natural color palette from the emission of ionized elements, 

R=Hydrogen + Sulfur, G=Oxygen and B=Oxygen + Hydrogen.
