Test del nuovo Optolong L-Para.
Visibile nella costellazione del cigno è distante circa 1470 anni luce, è un antico resto di supernova; la stella che ha originato quest’oggetto è esplosa circa 8000 anni fa. Ciò che ora è visibile sono dei debolissimi filamenti, ancora in espansione alla velocità di decine di km/s

It was about the beginng of the year when they told me about 'Il Sentiero del Pellegrino', a nice path by the sea, in Italy, that pass quite near this outstandind cave.
So I went there for the first time and I had confirmation that the cave is perfectly oriented for Milky Way photography.
For a couple of mounths I planned this shoot, just waiting for best condition, that fortunately arrived at the end of March.
I used a Viltrox 16mm f/1.8 lens and an Optolong Clear Sky filter.
This is a stacking of 6x15sec. shoots for sky and sea and a single shoot at blue hour for the cave.
Jupiter and Ganymede, photographed from my backyard in Long Beach, CA
30 s SER files were taken with a ZWO ASI120MM camera through Optolong CCD RGB filters on a Celestron Edge HD 925 telescope using FireCapture. The top 75% of frames went into 5 stacks of each color filter. These stacks were made in AutoStakkert, then sharpened in PixInsight. Stacks were combined and derotated in WinJUPOS, and the resulting R, G, and B images were combined in WinJUPOS to make a de-rotated single color image. Color balancing in Registax, then final touches in Photoshop.
Autostakkert didn't seem to pick up Ganymede in these images, thus rendering it featureless.

Here is an image of the open star cluster NGC 7380, also known as the Wizard Nebula. NGC 7380 is located in the constellation Cepheus about 7,000 light-years from Earth within the Milky Way Galaxy. The star cluster is embedded in a nebula, which spans some 110 light-years. The stars of NGC 7380 have emerged from this star-forming region in the last 5 million years or so, making it a relatively young cluster.

The Crescent Nebula is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. It is about 4,700 light years away and is formed by a fast stellar wind from the star HD192163. The star is shedding its outer envelope, ejecting the equivalent of our Sun's mass every 10,000 years. The stellar wind is colliding with and energising, a slower-moving wind ejected by the star when it became a red giant around 400,000 years ago. The result of the collision is a shell about 25 light years across. The central star will probably undergo a supernova explosion in the next million years. (Source: Sky Safari)

Located in the constellation Cassiopeia, LDN 1355, along with the surrounding dark nebulae LDN 1357 and 1358, formed an interesting "outstretched hand" image. Directly below the "palm" of the outstretched hand is the blue reflecting nebula VdB 9, illuminated by the star SU Cas. At the right edge of the image is another reflecting nebula, VdB 7, with a hint of red and blue, surrounding the variable star RZ Cas.——— STRUMENTAZIONE ———

This complex of reflection nebulae lies some 6,000 light-years away, toward the high-flying northern constellation Cygnus and the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy.
Obscuring interstellar dust clouds appear in silhouette while reddish hydrogen emission nebulae, along with the dusty blue reflection nebulae, fill the cosmic canvas.
Ultraviolet radiation from the massive, hot, young stars of the extensive Cygnus OB2 association ionize the region's atomic hydrogen gas, producing the characteristic red glow.
Embedded Cygnus OB2 stars also provide the blue starlight strongly reflected by the dust clouds.
As Galaxy season was over, it was time to shoot some Ha! This picture is the result of 2 nights (6h10) from last week.

This rarely imaged object is Sh2-170, an emission nebula in Cassiopeia, at about 7500 light years away. The bright star at the center of the nebula is ionizing the surrounding hydrogen gas (Ha) and causing the nebula to glow. The nebula is about 2/3 the diameter of the full moon.

My second record of the small (view from Earth) Galaxy NGC 2997 (located in the Constellation of Antlia). In this record (which has a much longer total exposure time compared to the previous record), I was able to better capture some features of the galaxy, but there is still a lot to be done. The stacked frames (captured on 03 consecutive nights) totaled 12 hours and 15 minutes of exposure.
"NGC 2997 is an unbarred spiral galaxy, located about 40 million light years away in the constellation of Antlia. NGC 2997 contains hundreds of billions of stars and is believed to have a mass of about 100 billion times that of our Sun, but probably less massive than our Milky Way. The galaxy is moving away from us at about 1085 kilometers per second ". Source: annesastronomynews.com/

Eagle nebula (M16) is interstellar cloud that composed mainly of hydrogen gas & dust. It contains star formation nurseries like open star cluster NGC 6611. The UV radiation from the young stars is responsible for excitement of the surrounding hydrogen gas to glow in red colour. In the middle of the image is a dark nebula that hiding star formation and famously known as “Pillars of Creation”. This nebula is 7000 light years distant from Earth.

NGC 1499 aka The California Nebula is an intense hydrogen emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. It is so named because it appears to resemble the outline of the US State of California on long exposure photographs. The California Nebula is around 100 light years long and is 1000 light years away from earth.
Total exposer 7 hours and 10 minutes taken over several evenings, a total of 88 x 5 minute exposures plus calibration frames stacked in Deep Space Stacker and processed in Photoshop.

Planet Jupiter as seen on 7th July 2019 at 02:11 UTC.
Seeing was good, but not perfect. Still, nearly the best possible to attain from this setup.
The Great Red Spot (GRS) is very well resolved. It's also noted that there seems to be two very different gas flow patterns within the Southern Equatorial Belt, one that is nearly laminar, to the east of the GRS, and one that is turbulent (a lot) to the west of the GRS.
To the south of the South Temperate Zone, at least four nearly identical cyclones are spotted in the upper atmosphere of the gas giant, in contrast to a calmer and more neatly stratified temperate region in the Northern Hemisphere, which also shows a larger and more contiguous (northern) equatorial belt, which, in turn, seems to give off dark filaments towards even lower latitudes, following a northeast-southwest orientation.
The field of view also comprises the Ganymede moon, the largest of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter and also the biggest of the entire Solar System.

O seeing estava bom, mas não ideal. Ainda assim, este resultado é próximo do melhor possível de se obter com o setup.
A Grande Mancha Vermelha (GMV) está muito bem resolvida. Nota-se, também, que parece haver dois padrões de fluxo de gás bem distintos ao longo do Cinturão Equatorial Sul. Um aproximadamente laminar, ao leste da GMV, e outro (bastante) turbulento, a oeste do anticiclone.
Ao sul da Zona Temperada Sul, ao menos quatro ciclones quase idênticos são percebidos na alta atmosfera do gigante gasoso, em contraste com uma mais calma e ordenadamente estratificada região temperada do Hemisfério Norte, o qual também exibe um mais extenso e mais contíguo Cinturão Equatorial (Norte), que, por sua vez, parece desprender filamentos negros, lançando-os a latitudes ainda mais baixas, segundo uma orientação nordeste-sudoeste.
O campo de visão também engloba a lua Ganymede, o maior dos quatro satélites Galileanos de Júpiter e também a maior lua de todo o Sistema Solar.
