'Hamburger' object

  • keith_g by keith_g

    Hi all, waht do you think of the green object upper right of centre? It appears that it is divided into two bright knots by a central lane of dark material. Would it be a planetary nebula perhaps?

    Hello Keith,

    If it's the green 'spot' I was looking at - I'd say you could be right. Just that to me, it could be a planetary, with a dark dust band which just happens to apear at approx., center of the planetary.

    I'd love to see if any of the keepers have any info on this one.

    toodles,

    I think I would have classified that as a "green knot" so I'd like to know the answer too!
    Here's the pic:

    That reminds me of this (if I'm looking at the right thing at least):

    The object slightly left of the middle of the bottom of the image.

    So the first image is AMW0000zgh (http://talk.milkywayproject.org/objects/AMW0000zgh) and it does look interesting - I'll feature it on the front page and see if anyone has ideas.

    The stellar190's image I'd call that a #yellowball - just started a thread about those over on DMW10009ja

    ^ I randomly see a face in that picture.

    Thanks for your comment all, I'd love to know at what RA and Declination coordinates that this object can be found at.

    Good point, why can´t we see RA and Dec of the center of picture that we are examining? I am Amateur astronomer and I would like to see with telescope the part of the sky with some beautiful pictures that I have examine day before. I know that I wouldn't be able to see this IR objects, but it would be small, but sweet award for us, collaborators of this project (I can always imagine, can´t I?).
