MESSIER 83

2½ hours exposure

2020-06-19

Note the two other very remote galaxies.

A gift for Mothers Day from my boys. A purple petunia with white speckles that look like planets and other solar objects.

La belle galaxie d'Andromède culmine haut dans le ciel en ce moment en début de nuit.

J'attendais avec impatience une nuit claire pour m'éloigner de Paris et réaliser un beau portrait de cette galaxie. C'est chose faite depuis les environs de Provins.

En début de nuit nuages bas et brouillard m'ont fait craindre l'échec mais finalement le ciel s'est dégagé et j'ai pu en profiter à fond !

This is a cropped version of the previous image. Imaging details are identical.

So a lot has changed since my last post, and with that change I opted for some change of my own. Decided to chop off some hair, color it, and try out a new pair of contacts. Think I'm liking my new look for the foreseeable future!

Cette image montre la galaxie du Sculpteur sous un jour nouveau !

 

Cette composition en fausses couleurs révèle des longueurs d'onde spécifiques de la lumière émise par l'hydrogène, l'azote, le soufre et l'oxygène. Ces éléments sont présents sous forme gazeuse dans toute la galaxie, mais les mécanismes qui provoquent la lueur de ce gaz peuvent varier à travers la galaxie.

 

La lumière rose représente le gaz excité par le rayonnement des étoiles naissantes, tandis que le cône de lumière plus blanche au centre est provoqué par un écoulement de gaz provenant du trou noir au cœur de la galaxie.

This image shows the Sculptor Galaxy in a new light !

 

This false-color composition shows specific wavelengths of light released by hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen. These elements exist in gas form all over the galaxy, but the mechanisms causing this gas to glow can vary throughout the galaxy.

 

The pink light represents gas excited by the radiation of newborn stars, while the cone of whiter light at the center is caused by an outflow of gas from the black hole at the galaxy’s core.

I shot this through my ASTRO-TECH AT115EDT F/7 ED TRIPLET REFRACTOR with my Nikon D500. The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the closest large galaxy to the Milky Way and is one of a few galaxies that can be seen unaided from the Earth. In approximately 4.5 billion years the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way are expected to collide and the result will be a giant elliptical galaxy. You can also see galaxies M110 (elliptical) and M32.

The Milky Way Galaxy central region above Mt Teide National Park in Tenerife. This image was taken in August 2015 on the only clear night we got out of five.

 

The galaxy was captured via a 60 second exposure tracked via Astrotrac. The static foreground was captured earlier with the tracker turned of, then it was merged against the background in processing.

The core of the Milky Way galaxy hovers over the Indian Peaks, illuminated by the glow of urban lights of the Denver-Boulder megalopolis to the east (left, also responsible for the orange light). The central core of the MW, most visible during the summer, contains a bulge of star clusters and gas clouds that give it a particularly bright appearance. There are around 200+ billion stars and probably more than 100 billion planets in the Milky Way. While this number is mind-bogglingly large, and begs the question of life on other plants, our Sun and Earth ought to be our priority these days, given our ability to influence its environment and harm our own well being (here endeth the sermon).

 

In addition to the gazillion stars in this image, three prominent planets are also visible, with Mars as the bright blob on the left (a bit distorted by the wide angle lens), Saturn on the left side of the MW about the same height as Mars, and Jupiter is on the right a bit lower than the other two planets.

 

The mountains make up the core of the Indian Peaks, and include (left to right) Caribou Ridge, South and North Arapaho Peaks (13,500 ft / 4115 m) bridging the Arapaho Glacier, Mount Albion (12,615 ft / 3845 m), Kiowa Peak (13,276 ft/ 4046 m), Navajo Peak (13,409 ft/ 4087 m), and Apache Peak (13441 ft / 4097 m).

 

This is a repeat of a photo I took a year ago, with the same view, but this year I used a combination of 15 shots for the sky (15 sec, iso 6400) stacked and combined in StarryLandscapeStacker) to reduce noise and sharpen the stars, and a longer exposure for the peaks and foreground (300 sec at iso 800). I’ve also reduced the appearance of the airglow considerably (greenish light near the horizon, the result emission of light by charged particles in the atmosphere).

Every look-up shots at the Fukuoka Tower were dark and dull in the situation of the original jpeg files. The entrance of the tower was going to be closed as the night went on, so it's no wonder with fewer lights. That's why they have been in peaceful rest in the external hard disk since 2016. Yes, my photos were usually straight out of the camera those days. I was an enthusiastic jpeg lover. The other day I happen to find their RAW files and tried adjustment of their clarity, texture and sharpness a little bit. I got excited when these old pictures get new life. At first, its methodical structure stretching to the top through many glasses looked like cells before turning into something abstract that reminded me of a galaxy. I thought it was not bad to organize and archive old pictures with the latest software from time to time.

C-5B Galaxy 85-0006 of the 439th Airlift wing makes another touch and go.

I took a picture of the Andromeda Galaxy on August 26th, 2017 - and again on August 26th, 2022.

In this video, Ashley and I travel to Starfest in Ontario, Canada. I decided to shoot the Andromeda Galaxy, and didn't realize that it was exactly 5 years after (to the day) to one of my first attempts.

 

A lot has changed since then, and it feels like it all changed on that night.

This is M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy and NGC 5195. Two galaxies found near the end of the Dipper's handle. They are interacting and affecting each other. The smaller ngc 5195 (top left) is behind the bright Whirlpool and the bridge connecting the two can be seen in the centre of ngc 5195. All the pink areas are star birth regions that the intense interaction created. I re-processed my older data on this with improved processing tools. Image is cropped. Taken with my Ceravolo 300mm astrograph at f/4.9 (focal length 1470mm) with an SBIG Aluma 694 CCD camera. 24 hours of data using LRGB and hydrogen-alpha filters.

My first 'galaxy season' image is the beautiful galaxy known as Messier 106 in Canes Venatici.

 

Look at all of the other galaxies in the field! Really cool.

I took this image using a one-shot-color dedicated astronomy camera and 150mm telescope in my backyard.

Photo is of a hand-made marble from Moon Marble in Bonner Springs, KS sticking out of the pouch it came in. I lit the marble from inside the pouch as well as using a flashlight to gently light the outside of the pouch. *Marble is ~1 inch in diameter.

M33, the Triangulum Galaxys one of the closest large galaxies to Earth. It’s located in the constellation Triangulum at a distance of about 2.5 million light years and has a diameter of around 60,000 light years.

M 106 (also known as NGC 4258) is a spiral galaxy visible in the constellation Canis Venatici; its interior appears to host a supermassive black hole.

M106 is an example of a Seyfert galaxy; the detection of unusual radio and X-ray emissions observed by the Very Large Baseline Array radio telescope indicates that it is probably part of.

The Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as Messier 51, is an interacting grand-design spiral galaxy with a Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus. It lies in the constellation Canes Venatici, and was the first galaxy to be classified as a spiral galaxy. Its distance is 31 million light-years away from Earth

This was an exciting project for me!

 

I've never had enough reach to do M51 justice before. This image was created by collecting LRGB exposures (5-minutes each) over several cold nights in March and April, 2020.

 

36 x 300-seconds Lum

9 x 300-seconds Red

12 x 300-seconds Green

15 x 300-seconds Blue

 

The images were stacked in DeepSkyStacker and processed entirely in Adobe Photoshop 2020.

 

I've recorded a 30-minute image-processing tutorial of the techniques used for this image that will be live in my image processing guide by the end of this week. If you've already downloaded it, remember to update to the new version (for free) this weekend to find it!

 

Clear skies!
