Here we have a look at 2 panes of IC 443 and IC 444.

IC 443 is a supernova remnant in Gemini and is located about 5000ly from earth.

I have included a second pane to show the extended nebulae including the reflection areas of 444.

The Heart Nebula (IC 1805, Sharpless 2-190) is an emission nebula, about 7,500 light years away from Earth, located in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way, in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by William Herschel in November 1787. It is a glowing hydrogen gas nebula, with dark dust lanes dividing it.

 

The loose open star cluster Melotte 15 lies at the center of IC 1805, comprised of young (millions year old), energetic stars that emit radiation, ionizing the hydrogen gas in the cloud, which in turn emits its characteristic red glow.

 

The brightest part of the nebula at bottom right is NGC 896 (IC 1795), known as the Fish Head Nebula, a star forming region close to the Heart Nebula.

 

My deepest thanks to all of you, for your continuous support and kind comments! I wish to all my Flickr friends Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday season and a Happy and prosperous New year! May there always be starlight on your way!

This is my second RGB image after flocking my focuser drawtube. The reason for a second image is that the data and the processing were so different that I wanted to try shorter exposure durations. I learned from this that I produced many more subs, which were a storage and a processing burden. Longer subs are just fine.

Andromeda Galaxy a.k.a. Messier 31

 

……………..............................................

 

Andromeda, the largest galaxy in the so-called Local Group of Galaxies to which our galaxy also belongs, is 2.5 million light-years away and can be seen (even with the naked eye) in the constellation Andromeda. As general information, Andromeda is about 1.5 times larger than the Milky Way, with a diameter of 220,000 light-years (compared to the Milky Way which is 120-140,000 light-years in diameter) and contains more than 2 times as many stars. Although the first mention of this celestial object dates from 960, the first to give a more detailed description was the German astronomer Simon Marius, in the 1600s.

It should also be mentioned that Andromeda and the Milky Way are approaching with about 100 miles per second, experts estimate that in about 3-4 billion years the 2 galaxies will collide and thus form a new giant galaxy.

Blutmond während der Mondfinsternis am 27.07.2018. Belichtungszeit 20 x 1 sec. Um das Flimmern bzw. Schärfeverlust durch atmosphärische Störungen zu minimieren, wurde hier ein Stack aus 20 Einzelbilder in PixInsight übereinandergelegt.

Leider war in meiner Region der Höhepunkt der Mondfinsternis 2018 schon annähernd vorbei, als der Blutmond endlich über dem Dunst am Horizont emporstieg und sich uns zeigte. Diese Aufnahme entstand zum Ende der Mondfinsternis, bei dem der Mond den Kernschatten der Erde allmählich wieder verließ.

 

Blood moon during the lunar eclipse on 27.07.2018. Exposure time 20 x 1 sec. To minimize flickering and loss of sharpness due to atmospheric disturbances, a stack of 20 frames has been superimposed in PixInsight.

Unfortunately, in my region the climax of the moon eclipse in 2018 was already almost over when the blood moon finally rose above the haze on the horizon and showed itself to us. This picture was taken at the end of the lunar eclipse, during which the moon gradually left the Earth's umbra.

The nebula Messier 78 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and included by Charles Messier in his catalog of comet-like objects that same year.

M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula of a group of nebulae that include NGC 2064, NGC 2067 and NGC 2071. This group belongs to the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex and is about 1,600 light years distant from Earth. M78 is easily found in small telescopes as a hazy patch and involves two stars of 10th magnitude. These two stars, HD 38563A and HD 38563B, are responsible for making the cloud of dust in M78 visible by reflecting their light.

Two months ago, I captured a photo of the Orion Nebula, but the shot was problematic. That’s why I decided to try again on the first day of the year. This time, I used my cooled camera and took 68 photos, each with a 5-minute exposure. I avoided using HDR composition as it introduced too much noise. After processing the images with PixInsight, I made final adjustments in Lightroom.

I love the new result!
