Additional Information

How to read the chart?

▲The horizontal axis is the Wavelength in Nanometers(nm).

▲The vertical axis is transmission in %.

▲The WHITE line shows the transmission of the L-CCD filter. R-CCD filter line is shown in RED. G-CCD filter line is shown in GREEN. And the B-CCD linke is shown in BLUE.

Ⅱ. Globular Cluster M5© Astrodoc Ron Brecher   

Globular cluster M5 contains hundreds of thousands of stars.and is one of my favourite objects to view in any scope. Bright globular clusters remind me of sugar spilled on a black table cloth.

III. van den Bergh 152 and Barnard 175 © Astrodoc Ron Brecher

van den Bergh 152 (vdB 152; a.k.a. Cederblad 201) is the prominent blue reflection nebula on the right side of this image. It lies at the end of Barnard 175, the pillar of dust filling this field. The dark area connected to vdB is a Bok globule, a dense accumulation of cosmic dust from which stars are often born. The whole complex lies in the direction of the constellation Cepheus, about 1400 light years away and spanning 7 light years. Interestingly, the bright star illuminating vdB 152 was likely not born within this complex as it is moving through space at a different speed than the nebula.
