PLEIADES by Josh Sheppard

Originally captured on 03.06.2020, I thought I had significant light pollution and lost the image. Having more experience doing post processing, I was able to pull this out. Very proud of it considering I am still new to the hobby

NGC 281 Pacman Nebula by Bob Harbert
Heart & Soul Nebulas: 15-panel mosaic by Paul Macklin

I created this mosaic with a ZenithStar 61ii throughout August, September, and October 2021. Each panel integrated a minimum of 7 hours of 6 minute exposures at dual narrowband. The mosaic shown here integrates 107.5 hours of photons.

 

Take a look for the Heart Nebula, Soul Nebula, Fish Head Nebula, quite a few planetary nebulas, and quite a few more hydrogen-rich formations.

 

For each panel, I extracted and stacked Ha and [OIII] separately, then processed to remove light pollution.

 

I then stitched separate mosaics for Ha and [OIII] and combined them with an HOO2 palette.

 

I found that taking adding 3-6 panels at a time and carefully matching across boundaries was helpful in building a consistent mosaic. I also found that the LNC typically suggested for mosaics (LNC degree 4, 3 iterations) introduced wavy artifacts across the mosaic, but blending with simple MBB (20% overlap) gave a much better result since I had already reduced light pollution from the individual panels.

Space's flying Eagle and its swimming Swan - M16 and M17 by Addy

Two known nearby Deep Sky Objects (DSOs). "Eagle" representing the dark region of M16 near the center. Another nickname for the "Swan", "Omega", was given due to the early discovery sketches resembling the last alphabet of the Greek letter.

 

This is a SHO (Hubble Palette combination). The red uses the Ionized Sulfur (SII) filter, the green uses the Hydrogen Alpha (Ha) filter, and the blue uses the Doubly Ionized Oxygen (OIII) filter. Stack of 13 x 600 seconds for SII and OIII, and 12 x 600 seconds for Ha. Total integration of 6 hours and 20 minutes.
