The kind of stellar remnant we observed was a planetary nebula. The particular Nebula we observed was NGC 5189. The gaseous cloud structures of Planetary nebulae form when a star around the mass of the sun blows off its outer shell at the end of its life. It&#8217;s core forms into an ultra dense ball of electron degenerate matter called a White Dwarf.\u00a0 Our group utilized Skynet to take these observations. We used the Prompt 5 telescope located at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. We observed NGC 5189 with H alpha, O III, and S II filters with 15 exposures per filter. We then processed the images using afterglow. We stacked the images and aligned them using WCS and Photometry. Finally we added a color map and produced the following image.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-307\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/astr210\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/ngc_5189_11130684-001.fits_-300x292.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/astr210\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/ngc_5189_11130684-001.fits_-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/astr210\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/ngc_5189_11130684-001.fits_-1024x996.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/astr210\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/ngc_5189_11130684-001.fits_-768x747.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/astr210\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/ngc_5189_11130684-001.fits_.jpg 1054w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brandon Christmas and Joe Corrigan In this module we studied stellar remnants.
