I cheated!

 

So I went back to my data again in PI. Tried reading through the PI tutorials on using ACDNR and I was able to understand a lot more about how to use the tool. Got something so so out of it. I really wasn't too happy about the results. When I put some before and after images together, I was turned off by the views.

 

So on a whim, I exported a 16 bit tiff from before the ACDNR exercise and ran that through Noiseware. Given what I've learned in PI, I was able to tweak that software a lot faster. The results that I got in less than 10 minutes of working were cleaner and much less grungy than what I'd been getting after several hours in PI. I know that I'd be able to duplicate the same results, I just don't know the settings.

 

Anyhow, I was able to reattach the FIT headers and Annotate the image.

 

So, it's done now.

Dumbbell Nebula (M27), 08/16/2020

 

This is a planetary nebula which is formed from the ionized gas ejected from a red giant star. It is about 1360 light-years away in the constellation Vulpecula. This is the second time I’ve capture this target.

The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula (IC1396), 05/30/2021

 

Weirdly last time I took the telescope out camping for the weekend the skies were exceedingly kind to me. The weather was forecast to be cloudy and I almost did not even bring my gear, let alone set it all up once I got on site. But the clouds buggered off so, what the hell, let’s give it a chance. One unfortunate thing however was that this target did not rise from behind the trees until after 12:30am. This totally put the damper on how much partying I got to do with my friends. However, the weather was so good I was able to shoot this object three nights in a row and it ended up being the most time I’ve sunk into a single image so far. I believe that this is the best image I’ve capture yet and it was definitely worth the effort!

The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula is in the constellation Cepheus and is about 2,400 light-years away from your couch. The “trunk” itself is over 20 light-years in size.

C’è un momento preciso in cui il cosmo smette di essere astronomia…

e diventa qualcosa che assomiglia più a un incidente in corso.

La Nebulosa Crescent è uno di quei momenti.

Non è una nuvola.

Non è un ornamento del cielo.

È il risultato di una stella che sta letteralmente cercando di sopravvivere a sé stessa.

  

Quella che chiamiamo Nebulosa Crescent, catalogata come NGC 6888, non è nata per “assomigliare” a qualcosa.

La forma a mezzaluna è un effetto collaterale.

Un residuo geometrico di forze in conflitto.

Si trova nella costellazione del Cigno e la sua luce ha viaggiato per circa 5.000 anni prima di arrivare fino a noi.

  

Al centro di tutto c’è WR 136.

Una stella Wolf-Rayet.

E già questo basta per capire il problema.

Non sono stelle “normali”.

Sono stelle che hanno consumato quasi tutto il loro combustibile e hanno iniziato a comportarsi in modo estremo.

Secondo le osservazioni spettroscopiche raccolte da missioni come Hubble (NASA/ESA) e da telescopi terrestri ad alta risoluzione:

WR 136 perde massa a velocità impressionanti, tramite venti stellari che superano milioni di chilometri orari.

Non sta “soffiando via gas”.

Sta letteralmente smontando i propri strati esterni.

  

La Nebulosa Crescent non è un’esplosione.

È uno scontro.

Per farti capire la suddivido in fasi:

  

Prima fase: la stella espelle materiale più lento.

  

Seconda fase: diventa Wolf-Rayet e inizia a emettere vento stellare molto più veloce.

Terza fase: Quando il secondo flusso raggiunge il primo…non lo attraversa.

Lo schiaccia, lo comprime e lo illumina.

E da questa collisione nasce la struttura che vediamo.

Una bolla instabile che si espande nello spazio interstellare come un’onda d’urto tridimensionale.

  

Quello che appare come “bello” nelle immagini astronomiche è in realtà un codice fisico.

Le osservazioni spettroscopiche mostrano che:

* il verde-blu è ossigeno ionizzato (O III)

* il rosso intenso è idrogeno eccitato (H-alpha)

Non sono colori estetici.

Sono stati energetici della materia.

È come se la nebulosa stesse parlando…

ma in una lingua che non è fatta per gli occhi umani.

  

La Nebulosa Crescent non è una struttura stabile.

È una fase, un passaggio.

Le simulazioni evolutive delle stelle Wolf-Rayet indicano che sistemi come WR 136 sono destinati a cambiare radicalmente su scale di tempo relativamente brevi (astronomicamente parlando).

Molte termineranno la loro vita in una supernova.

Un evento così energetico da superare l’intera luminosità della galassia per un breve periodo.

E quando succederà, la Crescent scomparirà, non lentamente, non poeticamente, semplicemente verrà cancellata da un altro evento fisico più potente.

La cosa bella di questa nebulosa è che all’interno di essa stanno nascendo stelle, pianeti e perché no anche nuove forme di vita.

  

Perché come dice il primo principio della termodinamica, nulla si crea, nulla si distrugge ma tutto si trasforma.

Near and Far: This photo shows a small piece of the sky in the constellation Cepheus. A full moon would almost exactly fit between the two primary objects in the photo. The star cluster NGC 6939 near the bottom is within our Milky Way galaxy, about 4000 light years from Earth, as are all the stars in the photo. The galaxy NGC 6946 near the top of the photo is about 25 million light years from Earth, 6000 times further away than the star cluster. This difference in distance is like looking at your hand, one foot away from your eyeballs, while also seeing something a little over a mile away from you, with nothing in-between your hand and that thing a mile away. There's nothing visible to us between the star cluster and the galaxy. Space is really, really empty.

Orion Nebula (M42), 03/04/2021

My yearly attempt at the Orion Nebula. Honestly, I was just messing about with my telescope and grabbed 40 minutes of data before Orion dropped behind my roof. Not much data to work with but it may be the best M42 I’ve done to date. I think it’s mainly because my post processing is getting better. Still so much to learn but it keeps the hobby fun.

Брайан Ино - Лекция в Консерватории СПб (29.11.2010): «Что такое культура и зачем она нам?».

 

Полное имя Ино: Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno (дата рождения: 15 мая 1948, Вудбридж, Суффолк)

 

Eno @ discogs | wiki | rus wiki

 

В 1987 году Брайан Ино приезжал в СССР, сотрудничал с группой «Звуки Му» спродюсировав их одноимённый альбом. В 1989 году в Москве встретился со Львом Терменом. В том же году он включил в свой альбом «Music For Films 3» композицию для терменвокса, записанную российскими музыкантами Михаилом Малиным и Лидией Кавиной. В 1990 году после знакомства с московским художником Сергеем Шутовым записал и посвятил ему альбом The Shutov Assembly. В 1997 году с женой и двумя дочерьми жил в Санкт-Петербурге, на канале Грибоедова, общался с «Новыми композиторами», БГ, Севой Гаккелем.

 

«Когда я был студентом и изучал живопись, моим любимым периодом был период русской живописи начала XX века, – рассказал Брайан Ино. – А в 1997 году, пока я жил в Санкт-Петербурге, я буквально не вылезал из Русского музея, потому что в нем содержится обширная коллекция того периода. Стыдно признаться, в Эрмитаже я был лишь однажды, а вот в Русском музее – раз двадцать пять, не меньше».

 

Помог группе «Нож для фрау Мюллер» при записи альбома «Алло, Супермен!», предоставив им свой Macintosh. В этот же период он представил в Мраморном дворце (Русского музея) Санкт-Петербурга свою свето-звуковую инсталляцию «Свет». В 2010 году Брайан Ино выступил в Большом зале Санкт-Петербургской консерватории с лекцией «Что такое культура и зачем она нам?», а также представил в Петербурге свой проект «77 миллионов картин».

Antennae Galaxies - My first ever Deep Sky Object (DSO) post processing/image editing attempt. The individual channel components were captured by THE HUBBLE Telescope. These are 2 Galaxies NGC 4038 / NGC 4039 which might have collided with each other eons ago and now are in a starburst phase.

I have downloaded the R, G, B and H-alpha individual wavelengths from the Hubble Legacy archive and did the necessary histogram stretching to bring out details and adjust colors when composed into a single RGB image. Still a long way to go. All the processing is done using FITS liberator for FITS to TIFF conversion, GIMP for the major stretching and denoising operations and finally minor edit in Lightroom to correct my overdoing of the Red channel.

May not be the best looking picture (first attempt so cut me some slack 😛) but I managed to bring out some red nebulosity thanks to the H alpha channel data combined with Red channel.

Thanks to @peculiar.galexy.astro for the amazing YT tutorials on Hubble data processing and your suggestions are welcome.

Cocoon Nebula (IC5146), 08/28/2020

 

I totally forgot I did this one. This is an emission nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. It is about 15 light-years across and roughly 4,000 light-years away. You can also see a dark nebula, Barnard 168, as well. This is actually clouds of dust that are blocking the light from the background stars and giving the impression of empty regions in space.

Saturn ISO1600, on Sept 3 2020 11:05PM EDT. The things to notice are the rings, of course, and the so-called Cassini Division between the A and B rings, most easily seen as the pencil-thin hair-line black gap in the rings at upper-right and lower-left, the shadow cast by the sphere of the planet onto the rings at the 4-o'clock position, and the dark belt near the equator of the planetary sphere itself.

Eagle Nebula (M16), 07/26/2020

 

Man have the skies been clear a lot lately! Prepare for a bunch of images once I get a chance to process them all. First time that has been an issue for me in the PNW.

This is the Eagle Nebula, an object I have shot before on different equipment. The Eagle Nebula is a 5.5 million-year-old cloud of molecular hydrogen gas and dust stretching approximately 70 light years by 55 light years. It lies about 6,500 light-years away. The “Eagle” itself in the center is the famous Hubble image, “The Pillars of Creation”. Its good to have goals. LOL
