An image of the Double Cluster in Perseus taken this evening with a ZWOASI183MC Pro camera attached to a Celestron C6-N reflecting telescope. 36 thirty second images were stacked with DeepSkyStacker and processed with Adobe Lightroom.

 

Here's Comet C/2013 US10 (Catalina) above Alpha Centauri at about 8pm last night. At the moment it is gliding through the Milky Way starfields in the southern constellation Circinus. This untracked image is a 22 x 4 sec exposures taken with a Canon 6D and 70-200mm lens at f/4 and 21800 iso, stacked using DeepSkyStacker and processed in Lightroom 5.

Following comments made by Jean Jacquinot on my last iteration of this thing, a committee meeting was convened, and the man from the frozen north agreed that some detail had been lost. It was decided that a reprocess was in order, and this has now been actioned. Above is the result :)

 

Does Flickr sharpen images when you upload them? It certainly seems to. Anyway, a full reprocess, colour tweaked in places, etc. etc. Better I think. Thanks to Jean for pointing out my previous oversight :)

 

Last iteration here, for comparison.

 

I now regard the horsey in the same light as Andromeda, so I'll say goodbye to it until next year :)

Right, I'm officially sick to death of Andromeda! This is now 16 hours of varying sub-lengths and ISO settings, and I've reached the point where my skies are going to yield no more. Quite depressing to think that 16 hours here produces the same result as perhaps an hour under dark skies - so this is my final attempt ;) (Wrong!). Better processing than the last shocking effort I think - a little more subtle, and some fainter detail evident (and some detail less evident as the contrast has been turned down a bit!)

 

Having spent a fortnight thinking about very little else, I can now get on with my life :)

Yet another clear night - whatever next?! :)

 

I did another 4 hours on M33 last night, only to discover at the end that the dew band wasn't working - 4 hours wasted, more or less. Not to be deterred, and with Orion waving at me invitingly, I had a go at good ol' long face. The ED80 works miracles on this, compared to the 200p :)

Messier 67 is an open cluster in the constellation Cancer. This open cluster was photographed on March 9, 2015 using ten one-minute exposures using my standard astrophotography setup.

 

The images were "stacked" together using the software package DeepSkyStacker. The final image was edited using Corel PaintshopPro software.

 

The open cluster, at the time of this writing, was located near the planet Jupiter and the Beehive Cluster (Messier 44). At magnitude 6.1, you will need a pair of binoculars to see this ancient open star cluster.

first time for me capturing these.

This is a view of IC 1795 - The Fish Head Nebula, and is part of a huge star forming system of gas and dust located along the Perseus spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy. The nebula is located in the constellation Cassiopeia approximately 6000 light-years from the Earth and is adjacent to the much larger Heart Nebula. This image was designed around the Hubble Palette of colors, splitting my image into artificial Sulfur II, Hydrogen Alpha, and Oxygen III channels. The image was then reassembled giving these hues that are typical of images from the HST.

Comet NEOWISE

 

C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) or Comet NEOWISE is a long period comet with a near-parabolic orbit discovered on March 27, 2020, by astronomers during the NEOWISE mission of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope. At that time, it was an 18th-magnitude object, located 2 AU (300 million km; 190 million mi) away from the Sun and 1.7 AU (250 million km; 160 million mi) away from Earth.[3]

 

By July 2020, it was bright enough to be visible to the naked eye. It is one of the brightest comets in the northern hemisphere since Comet Hale–Bopp in 1997 and was widely observed as being clearly visible with the naked eye. Under dark skies, it can be clearly seen with the naked eye[4] and might remain visible to the naked eye throughout most of July 2020,[5] at least until July 23, the point of the comet's closest approach to Earth. Prior to that date, the comet will be getting closer to Earth as it moves farther away from the Sun. As of July 18, the comet was about magnitude 3.[6] Binoculars are required near urban areas to locate the comet.

Globular Cluster Messier 62 (M62 or NGC 6266) is a cluster that can be found in the constellation of Ophiuchus. This cluster was photographed in July 16, 2015 nd the final image is a stack of 18 thirty second exposures at ISO 3200 using a Canon 6D at prime focus of a Celestron 6" telescope. The imaging system was mounted on an iOptron ZEQ25 equatorial mount. M62 lies at a distance of about 22,500 light-years. Software used to create this image include DeepSkyStacker (for stacking the individual frames), ImagePlus (for initial stretching and post processing), and Corel Paintshop Pro X5 for the final image adjustments.

The bright star just off-center is Polaris, which is surrounded by Integrated Flux Nebulae (IFN) named the Polaris Flare, discovered in 1984 by Heiles (Panopoulou et al. 2015: doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv1301). Yildun, the brightest star in the lower right-hand corner, is the next star in the 'handle' of the Little Dipper.

The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101, M101 or NGC 5457) is a face-on spiral galaxy 21 million light-years (6.4 megaparsecs) away from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781 and was communicated that year to Charles Messier, who verified its position for inclusion in the Messier Catalogue as one of its final entries.

On August 24, 2011, a Type Ia supernova, SN 2011fe, was discovered in M101.

Thank all for your visit and awards.

Just 30 x 90-seconds at ISO 800

 

You can't beat capturing a full-color image in an hour (set-up time included!)

 

I love the FOV the Rokinon 135mm provides (thank you again to everyone that recommended it)!

 

This was a quick setup when the clouds parted for 2 brief hours last week (snowing now). I spent longer processing the image than acquiring it 😆

Also known as IC 434 and Barnard 33.

The horsehead nebula is approximately 1,375 light years away in the constellation of Orion. A very difficult target to find in a telescope, it's possible with a large aperture using specialist filters. A camera that can pick up Ha it's much easier :-)

IC 434 lies on Orions belt close to the flame nebula with the very bright star Alnitak (just visible lower left) separating them.

NGC 7331, also known as Caldwell 30, is an unbarred spiral galaxy about 40 million light-years (12 Mpc) away in the constellation Pegasus. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. NGC 7331 is the brightest galaxy in the field of a visual grouping known as the NGC 7331 Group of galaxies. The other members of the group are the lenticular or unbarred spirals NGC 7335 and 7336, the barred spiral galaxy NGC 7337 and the elliptical galaxy NGC 7340. These galaxies lie far in the background at distances of approximately 332, 365, 348 and 294 million light years, respectively.
