The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years (ly) from Earth in the constellation Triangulum. It is catalogued as Messier 33 or NGC 598. The Triangulum Galaxy is the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, behind the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. It is one of the most distant permanent objects that can be viewed with the naked eye.

Am 03.03.2022 nutze ich Teleskop 68 von iTelescope.net und nahm 3 Aufnahmen à 240 sec des Quallennebels IC 443 auf. Dies ist meine erste Aufnahme eines Supernova Überrestes. Die Belichtungszeit könnte natürlich länger sein, aber der Nebel kommt schon ganz gut zum Vorschein. Aufgrund des dichten Sternfeldes in dem der Nebel liegt, habe ich die "Starreducer" Funktion in AstroPixelProcessor eingesetzt, damit der Nebel etwas beser heraussticht.

IC 342 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis. Despite it appears as the third-largest galaxy in the northern hemisphere - only smaller than M 31 and M 33 - its location in dusty areas near the galactic equator makes it difficult to observe, thus leading to the nickname.

This image of the Veil Nebula was taken exclusively from my backyard under suburban light pollution using my radiantelescopes triad Ultra filter. .

 

The Veil Nebula - also known as the Filament nebula- consists remnants of a supernova. Its name is derived from its delicate, draped filamentary structures. The entire nebula is 110 light-years across, covering six full moons on the sky as seen from Earth, and resides about 2,100 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. wisps of gas, which are all that remain of what was once a star 20 times more massive than our sun.

 

The fast-moving blast wave from the ancient explosion is plowing into a wall of cool, denser interstellar gas, emitting light. The nebula lies along the edge of a large bubble of low-density gas that was blown into space by the dying star prior to its self-detonation. (NASA) #astromaniacmag

The Heart Nebula (IC1805) is one of a pair of bright nebula in Cassiopeia (the other the Soul Nebula IC1848). The very brightest part to the right is separately designated NGC896 and was discovered before the remainder and dimmer parts of the nebula that make its distinctive shape. The center of the nebula features an open cluster of young and massive stars (catalogued O.C. Melotte 15) which cause the deep red glow of the remainder of the nebula. The Heart Nebula is one of the prettiest and most recognized in the northern sky.

First real try at Orion Nebula with tracking mount. About 2.5 hours of integration.

California Nebula - NGC 1499 - 4 from 8 panels mosaic - work in progress

 

[EN] I would have preferred to finalise the 8 panel mosaic of the California Nebula before the year-end but the rare clear skies allowed me to finalise only 4 panels. The individual panels were stacked in PixInsight (WBP), the 4 panel were transformed to a mosaic by using AstroPixelProcessor and the postprocessing was again done in PixInsight. I hope you like the result and I hope that 2022 will bring enough clear skies to finalize this project.

 

[NL] Het plan was om voor het einde van dit jaar een 8-delige mozaïek van de Californiënevel te voltooien, maar door het slechte weer zal het voorlopig bij 4 panelen blijven. De afzonderlijke panelen werden gestackt in PixInsight (WBP), de 4 panelen werden in een mozaïek gegoten met behulp van AstroPixelProcessor en de afwerking werd gedaan in PixInsight. Geniet van het resultaat en hopelijk brengt 2022 genoeg ‘clear skies’ om dit project volledig af te werken.

IC1848 Soul Nebula.

 

Soul nebula IC1848, narrowband processed. The stars are forming in the soul of the Queen of Ethiopia. More specifically, in a star-forming region called Soul Nebula can be found in the constellation Cassiopeia, a constellation Greek mythology identified as the arrogant wife of a king who has long ruled the lands around the top river Nile. the Soul nebula contains several open clusters of stars, an intense radio source known as W5 and huge bubbles formed by winds from massive young stars. Located about 6,500 light-years away, the Soul Nebula spans about 100 light years.

I had seen images showing faint gas and dust clouds surrounding Sh2-140 in the constellation Cepheus, and I wanted to make these visible using the RASA at f/2.2, focusing primarily on the RGB data. In the end, I accumulated nearly 25.5 hours of exposure time, with about 20.5 hours dedicated to RGB and 5 hours to H-alpha.

The processing was more challenging than expected because, despite the long exposure time, everything was still quite faint overall. I blended the H-alpha data very subtly to keep the RGB look. I was very pleased that the dust clouds became visible in the lower right of the image, as well as the two reflection nebulae VdB 153 (bottom center) and GN 22 12.3 (top center). Sh2-140 also stood out nicely with its shockwave, along with the gas cloud Sh2-145 (left).
