This is my first Orion Nebula of the season. I used my smaller 6" Newton to capture it. In the next weeks i try to use the 10" to get a detailed picture of the center of the nebula.

This is my first time using the H-Alpha Version of my Canon 60Da. Great to see it captures the H-Alpha lines so well. Barnard 33 is one of the most amazing objects is captured so far, I hope you enjoy the picture !

Leo Triplet (M65, M66, NGC3628), 03/17/2021

Galaxy season is here. In Spring most of the nebulas set too early to photograph so attention turns to distant and dim galaxies. For my current setup this is unfortunate because I have wrong field of view for tiny galaxies. But a YouTube channel I watch (Chuck’s Astrophotography) did this group using the same telescope I have so I gave it a go. Thanks Chuck! I did spend a lot of time on this so I would have enough detail to crop it in a bit. So, I give you the Leo Triplet, unsurprisingly found in the constellation Leo. These gravitationally bound galaxies are approximately 35 million lights years from you.

The Rosette Nebula is a large spherical H II region around open cluster NGC 2244. The stars of the cluster having been formed from the nebula's matter. The cluster and nebula lie at a distance of some 5,000 light years from Earth and measure roughly 130 light years in diameter.

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.

A comet streaks across a dark night sky, dotted with distant stars. No specific person is identifiable in the image, but the image shows a celestial event, likely captured by an amateur astronomer or astrophotographer. The comet's tail is visible, indicating its movement through space. The image's purpose is likely to document and share the observation of this astronomical phenomenon.
