Re: Infrared ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY with the M200!

I am impressed by your photos! The comparison of the two images of M57 nicely shows the need to include H-alpha in nebular photography.

The dark 'coal sack' nebulas in Cygnus and the dark lanes through the galactic core (to the lower left in the first image) don't appear so dark, they must be giving off a good deal of IR light.

More precisely, the interstellar dust that blocks the background light and forms these apparently dark features becomes more transparent at longer wavelengths.

Regards,

Alan
