NGC2467 Nebula in Puppis - For this image I tried going off the beaten track a bit and picked an object I haven't seen photographed before. It's a pretty faint one, so I was hoping I'd be able to reveal a lot of the background nebulae, and I succeeded in doing that. However despite my ongoing efforts, my stars are still not at all how I want them to look. They should be small, sharp and round. With help I've narrowed down the issue to a sub-standard coma corrector - a piece of optics necessary to fix an unavoidable flaw in the design of mirror telescopes. As such I've been waiting on payment for a job to come in and I've finally been able to order a higher quality optic which I am assured will fix my problem! Unfortunately it's currently out of stock! So it will be a few weeks before I can put it to use.This is the first image I have created from data collected over more than one night. It's also the longest total exposure I've done on a single object so far.Telescope: 8“ f4 Newtonian Camera: ZWO ASI1600-MCC Mount: NEQ6Control software: Sequence Generator Pro 56x5min - 4:40hrs total exposure Processed in Pixinsight and Lightroom
NGC 2467
NGC 2467 is a star forming region located about 13,000 light years away towards the constellation Puppis, the Stern. Only a few million years old, the cloud of mostly hydrogen gas provides the material for new stars to form.
In turn, these young stars emit radiation that ionizes surrounding gas, causing it to glow and twist into fantastic shapes. The region contains several star clusters, as well as a few particularly bright stars that shape the nebula.

NGC2467
An extremely active stellar nursery glows in deep reddish tones in this Gemini view of NGC2467 in the southern constellation of Puppis. The image displays a striking array of features that illustrate multiple phases of star birth. In the lower right, young stars are emitting hot radiation, exciting the nearby gas and causing it to glow and revealing denser gas and dust clouds. Dust lanes and dark globules mark sites of future star formation.
A cluster of young stars dominates the left edge of the field of view. It is likely that several million years ago this region resembled the currently active star birth regions seen in the right half of the image. A “wall” of denser material dominates the right side of the image. Here ultraviolet radiation from nearby stars is removing material by a process called photo-evaporation and revealing underlying dense clouds that likely harbor forming stars.
At bottom left a star can be seen exciting the cocoon of gas and dust from which it likely emerged.
