This is my first attempt at capturing the Rosette Nebula, also known as Caldwell 49 in the constellation of Monoceros. Using a full frame mirrorless camera, 70-200mm lens and a Star Tracker I was able to get this image from my back garden in Torquay, Devon, UK.

.

I had set up to capture 120 light frames but due to intemittent cloud cover and condensation on the filter I only came away with 50 subs so need to get some more when the weather clears again. Still, I am pleased with what I managed to get.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look.

  

First discovered by Edmond Halley in 1714. It was 50 years later when Charles Messier added the cluster to his list of objects that he was not interested in, giving it the designation M13.

 

The cluster is 25,000 light years away from us and can be found in the Constellation Hercules. Giving it it's more prestigious title of 'The Great Cluster in Hercules'.

 

M13 is one of the brightest globular clusters visible to us, especially from the Northern hemisphere. Containing over 100,000 stars it is quite easy to detect with a modest pair of binoculars and a dark sky.

Leave a comment below if you find it with some binoculars.

This is first look at a coloured nebula this side of Town As these two are so close this is a two shot Panorama in this case sitting vertically. This shot went straight together in PTGui even though it was only stars as the join. This is a part of the Carina Nebula the Hand cluster is to the left and carina to Right.

 

This is two nights per panel or 105 shots each as the nights get longer.

Skywatcher Teleskop Evostar 72 mm f/6 ED Apochromatic Refractor

Last night's moon, known by some as The Worm Moon, was blazing in the sky here last night, once some earlier low cloud and mist had passed.

 

So was very hard to ignore and with its light swamping any desire to do some deep sky stuff!

 

So this is an image captured from last night imaged with my Skywatcher Esprit 120ED refractor @f5.4 and ZWO 2600MC camera.

 

The moon was in Virgo and was 15.5 days old. The great rayed crater Tycho is presenting nicely!

 

Many thanks for looking!

 

I had been putting off processing this image because the conditions were not good on the night it was taken, and I was not convinced there would be enough data to work with, especially since there was no Oxygen or Sulphur data. I plan to revisit during the winter of 2024/2025 to gather more data. The Bubble Nebula (NGC7635) image comprises RGB and Hydrogen Alpha data.

 

Located in Cassiopeia, NGC7635 (Caldwell 11, Sharpless 162) is an emission nebula close to M52. The bubble is created by the wind emanating from the young central star SAO 20575. The surrounding gas is part of a giant molecular cloud that is also excited by this star.

one of my favourite deep sky targets, it contains several NGC-objects with a very bright star cluster in the middle (NGC2244), causing the gases to shine brightly.

 

though it being end of winter and thus only getting about 3h after sunset to shot images in the south, it was two nights in a row to gather 4 hours of data, heavy wind gusts ruined about 1.5 hours worth of data. i also recognized starlink being a problem the last couple of sessions i have, luckily due to stacking its trails usually disappear in post processing.

Our elusive nearest stellar neighbour.

 

It is the nearest star to our Solar System - but is a very dim and ordinary star and difficult to identify.

 

It orbits Alpha Centauri, more than two degrees away, which is outside the field of view of my image and much brighter.

The (relatively) small batch of North East Proms today with Earth for scale, best 30% of 2100 frames in AS2, bin2x2 - very fast moving low clouds and gusty (45mph+) squalls today, hid in the gazebo with the scope and held on for dear life until I got a break. Image rotated 90 deg CW. Skywatcher 120ED Esprit, Daystar QC, Grasshopper 3 (IMX174). Genika software worked for once too without falling over.

 

Also different configuration for scope, replaced the Diagonal with an 80mm extension tube (UV/IR filter attached to this), then the Quark, then the camera. Seems to work just as well and lets me have more back focus. For a sense of further scale, see here www.flickr.com/photos/76699751@N07/28517451253/in/photost...

So what you read next is not going to make sense, for the last four day in the morning I get the data. I have edited as per I know the shot as a colour sensor looks. After looking at it on the fouth days edit I did not like it so I thought time to try some thing new. Glass of red wine and Pink Floyd "Wish you where here" playing on the computer "Shine on you crazy Diamond", edit how I see the data not some thing else.

I hope there is a few out there understand the madness and like the edit.... for those of you like me never found the chicken once starless the chicken stood out. Bottom left corner on the rim of the light patch looking into the middle of the shot. 100% looking at The lioness profile on the other side of the nebula. This is 27 hours worth of data.

Took advantage of an early start today from 08.50 UTC until 9.30 UTC conditions were great, total blue sky and hardly any wind until 10.00 UTC. What a difference too using the SW120 today with the Quark Ha eyepiece.

 

So this is a final goodbye to AR2403 disappearing around the western limb.
