Rosette Nebula NGC2237-9 (Unicorn) | |
It is said that the nebula is easily-photoed one in H-alpha nebulas. But I've never seen a photo of H-alpha nebula taken with compact digital camera because of IR cut filter.
The photo you can see here may not be a good one but I retouched it obstinately. It was taken at the suburbs of Capital Tokyo, without an aid of telescope and with non-reconstruct compact digital camera. Location: From the veranda of the apartment house where I live in Tokyo.
