Aircraft Engine

Aircraft photobombing my imaging of NGC2537

The engine is clearly visible
Flightradar data of the trespasser, height assumed 11km at cruising altitude.

Doing some calculations with an assumed heigt of 10000meters and speed of 800 km/hr.

The plane would take 0,24 second to cross the field of 54 meters.

The aircraft engine has a length of about 300 pixels, on the same scale that would be 4 meters.

NGC1333 Spirit of Chaos

A view on NGC1333: an intruiging world of chaos. 
The level of complexity and action is amazing in this object. 

It’s integrated during 4 nights of imaging at two locations, 2 full nights of monochrome in November /December and 2 half  nights of color end of January. Unfortunately between the two camera’s the camera rotation angle changed, creating a 30° rotation. 

For completeness the mono and full RGB image have been added seperatly as versions B and C. 
A million thanks for the image processing done by Jean Lammertyn in PixInsight.
