Amateur Astronomy Picture of the Day

November 03 2009

B33 and Environs

This shot is about 5 hours total exposure with a DSLR camera and 540mm
NP-101 Telescope. I am amazed how much "muddy" interstellar dust comes
out in this regIon of sky with longer exposures.
At first I thought the Meteor was an early OrIonid however it does not
appear to be since it's origin does not come from the proper Radiant.
