Looks like this was started in 2019 so we are running about 1000 images/year. These are popular for being so obscure. Gary Imm now even has a book on them….
Up to 6000 Sh2 Images
In the imaging era, Sharpless is the new Messier. Some day we’ll have Sh-2 marathons at remote star parties 😇
Well Written Respectful Engaging
I’ve imaged 94 SH2 targets. They’re getting smaller and fainter.
Well most of us live under light polluted skies, HII emission nebula are some of the only targets were building signal is fairly easy.
Thanks for kicking this off, Jerry! You are the godfather of today’s Sharpless movement!
