Equipment:
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM, Canon EOS 60D, Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i
Description:
This image shows the constellation Corona Borealis and the recurrent nova T Corona Borealis (T CrB). I used a star tracker mount with a Canon 60D and 50mm lens, w/wo a Kenko Pro Softon filter to collect the image data. The Kenko Pro Softon filter makes the constellation stars stand out. Total integration time, about six hours. There is a wonderful talk about “Recurrent Nova T CrB Coming Soon to a Sky Near You!” by Dr. Brad Schaefer on The American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) YT channel. Find where to look before it explodes. Stellarium Mobile app is a good choice. Create a free account at AAVSO and sign up to get a notification when it occurs.
