NGC 281, IC 11 or Sh2-184 is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is also associated with open cluster IC 1590, several Bok globules and the multiple star, B 1. It lies around 9200 light years from us. Colloquially, NGC 281 is also known as the Pacman Nebula. Imaged over 2 nights the 27th of August and 6th of September. The data from 27th Aug using a QHY294C was used to make a luminance image and combine it with narrowband data captured on the 6th of Sep.

Again a year has passed...so fast! It was a great year... unfortunately quite cloudy. I hope 2019 is going to be better :)

 

This is a rework of NGC7635 captured in september 2018.

Processing was done in Pixinsight and I mainly focused on the bubble itself, to bring out more details in the very bright parts.

M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy May 2025

The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457) is an asymmetrical, face-on spiral galaxy distanced 21.6 million light-years from Earth in Ursa Major. At 252,000 light-years across it is 70% larger than our own Milky Way galaxy, has a disk mass of over 100 billion solar masses and contains about a trillion stars.

After a stressful battle to find out what was wrong with my colour calibration, I think I have it worked out (After two years of having the problem, and not knowing it). The main fault resulting in over the top saturation that I couldn't see - very embarrassing. I'm praying it now looks okay?

 

This is a smallish galaxy at only 7.8 arcminutes, and close to 10th mag. This is a small data set of 2.5 hours, but enough data to have some fun.

 

This is my first LRGB image for about 18 months, following a long testing period of working with my equipment at home with new software. I'm now looking forward to many more new LRGB data sets flowing in.

IC 443 è un resto di supernova situato nella costellazione dei Gemelli

Si crede che sia stato originato da una supernova esplosa in un periodo compreso fra 3000 e 30.000 anni fa, e che il nucleo della stella progenitrice responsabile di tale evento abbia formato la stella di neutroni CXOUJ061705.3+222127. Si tratta di un oggetto molto studiato a causa della sua interazione con altre nubi molecolari. (Wikipedia)
