Module 5A: Star Death Imaging

NGC 5189, aka Spiral Planetary Nebula

This is an optical image of the planetary nebula NGC 5189. It was taken with the Prompt 5 telescope and G prime, I prime, R prime filters, as well as OII, H Alpha, and SII filters. We decided to leave out the OII, H Alpha, and SII filters because they were very noisy. One other thing to note is that NGC 5189 has a bluish hue to it but it is artificially green in our optical image by mistake.

Messier 1 AKA The Crab Nebula

This is a picture of the supernova remnant Messier 1 also known as the crab nebula. This optical image was taken by PROMPT-USASK. This picture was taken using the I prime, G prime and R prime filters. This image cam out pretty well but there was some minor mess ups at the bottom causing it to have a greenish glow.
