wingeing Pom 731 Report post Posted July 6 I actually picked the wrong star. V1331 is correctly labelled below. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingeing Pom 731 Report post Posted July 6 How did I find out I picked the wrong star? Because I decided to take a look at the DSS data and put V1331 in the centre of the field - this is what I got. Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radar 626 Report post Posted July 6 Very cool. Circumstellar disc (a mostly depleted accretion disc,,,posssibly). Ray 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timthelder 205 Report post Posted July 7 Interesting 'smoke ring' feature at about 11:00 from V1331 in the 3rd image near the top. Kudos, Tim. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radar 626 Report post Posted July 8 Tim very interesting. My C14 would be able to zoom right in on that. Cygnus unfortunately is a tad low for me. I did shoot it once, but I drove out to the bush, and then up onto a monolith called Kokerbin Rock, which gave me super views of the Northern horizon.

Yes - that is the DSS image and it is flipped top to bottom, so if you want the same area on one of my images, it's around 7:00 towards the bottom.
