I have the cluster bug :)

 

Spent a good amount of time recently testing a bit of kit that effectively converts my EQ5 to a Goto, and now using EQMOD in conjunction with PHD for guiding. Working well, and for £90 (and in the true spirit of budgetastro) I'm more than pleased :)

 

Found this cluster while I was zipping around the heavens playing with the Goto, and fell in love with it. M35, aka NGC 2168 in the foreground, is about 2.8K light years away, quite young at 150m years (hence the blue stars) and contains about 2500 stars. NGC 2158 (above right of M35) is about 10K lights years away and is ten times older than M35 (hence the orange stars). It contains many more stars than M35 but in roughly the same volume of space (30 ly wide), so looks more like a globular cluster. Nice contrast :)

M93 (NGC 2447) is an open cluster in Puppis. It's one of the more southerly Messier objects, so there's a shorter window for when I can shoot it from my location in Long Beach. These were taken on 2023-02-15 -- a rare clear night this winter.

 

I used a Celestron Edge HD 925 with Hyperstar at focal length 535 mm and an Atik 414-EX monochrome camera with Optolong CCD LRGB filters to get the following exposures:

 

L: 181 10 s exposures

R: 41 30 s exposures

G: 50 30 s exposures

B: 81 30 s exposures

 

Images were preprocessed in Nebulosity, then stacks were created in PixInsight. Channel combination and initial processing were in PixInsight, with final touches in Photoshop.

A new object for me, and interesting looking area with slight reflection nebula in places, i'm sure there is more than ive been able to pick up but i managed to get some blue at the top there :) there is also dark nebula in near-black and obviously the red emission nebula forming the famous cave shape near the bottom.

山上的七姊妹

 

提起深空拍攝十居其九會認為是很困難的,還要花上許多時間去拍攝及處理,加上這些深空天體再過數千年也不會有變化,只要有不錯器材,加上天氣及時間的許可,很容易便會得到一張美麗的深空天體相片。想要有變化就要像風景一樣加入不同地景去配合,令深空天體構圖不再死板。

 

往時就曾經嘗試多個不同的深空及地景組合,但只屬於 Wildfield 方式拍攝,深空天體不太突出,被地景搶了風頭。今次就嘗試用上 135mm 鏡頭找尋簡單地景,深空天體也可以變得大一點。剛好在陰那山的第一晚設定好器材後,便看見七姊妹星團在飯堂上的水庫探頭而出,用上 5 分鐘時間將其捕獲下來,再花上 30 秒地景,簡單地在 Photoshop 處理一下便得到這張「山上的七姊妹」。

This was inevitable - got to leave it alone now.

 

Little less brutal, and easier on the blue. Also, I used lens correction in the previous version to compensate for the lack of flattener. That distorts the entire image though, and made the galaxy a little wide of girth! Better in this version I think (if you don't look at the corners) :)

I managed to add 3 hours to my previous version of this on Saturday night, but that has little to do with the above result. This is my first attempt at collaboration with my good friend Dave Williams (whom I have never met, as he lives in the frozen northern wastelands known as Manchester). Dave works in NB, and provided Ha, which I added as a luminance layer (after trying a few other techniques without success), and this is the result. Now I'm fully aware that what you can see above is predominantly luminance, with a bit of RGB thrown in to provide character, so Dave very much deserves most of the credit for this image. However, as he's not on Flickr, I'm happy to accept it :)

 

This is also my first attempt at combining Ha with RGB (albeit as luminance), and It makes my previous version look a bit sick :)

Three clear nights on the bounce - whatever next?! :)

 

Took advantage of the weather to give this a really good crack, something I've been waiting to do since the arrival of the ED80. This is full frame, so the focal length is ideal. As near as dammit 8 hours total exposure, made up of various sub lengths and iso settings. The variation in iso seems to improve the overall noise in the final tif, so I was able to stretch this a little further (some would say too far!). Not sure if it's a little too contrasty - all a matter of personal taste I suppose. Overall, I'm very pleased with this :)

I uploaded a version of this a month or so back that was supposed to be a combination of this year's data and last year's. Turned out it wasn't - what I got out of DSS was exactly last years data - it completely ignored this year's. DSS playing silly buggers.

 

This, on the other hand, is the combined data - 2 hours 23 minutes of 60 second subs. This is about three quarter frame, and rotated to provide a different angle - change is as good as a rest. Nice and small and cute :)

Just before the Event Horizon Telescope started its imaging run on the supermassive black hole at the center of M87, I was imaging the same region of the sky with my Celestron Edge HD 925. The galaxy in question, M87, is in the lower left corner of this image. It is the closest Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) to us, and it shows a relativistic jet when you take enough data to capture that feature.

 

The other galaxies that cross the top part of this picture are known as Markarian's Chain -- all of the prominent galaxies in this picture are part of the Virgo Cluster. M87 and the rest of the Virgo Cluster galaxies are about 55 million light years away. At that distance, if there was a civilization looking back at Earth, the image they would currently get is of a planet whose biosphere had just rebounded from the Chicxulub impact. However, any such image is exceedingly unlikely. On the full size scale of this image (1684x2408 pixels), the supermassive black hole would be 16 millionths of a pixel in size. That black hole is roughly 3 million times the diameter of the Earth. Using a radio telescope the size of the Earth, we were just able to resolve the black hole.

 

This image is a mosaic of 4 separate tiles. Each of those is a stack of 4 minute exposures. Images were shot with an Edge HD 925 at f/2.3 with Hyperstar and an Atik 314L+ color CCD. Preprocessing was done in Nebulosity. The stacking, initial processing, and mosaic composition was done in PixInsight. Final processing was done in PixInsight and PS CS 5.1.

The image spans 1° 10' by 1° 40'.

I was browsing through some old captures, and then find this one. Why did I forget to publish it?

I don't know! Well, better later than never.

This was my first capture using my T6i, back on July 9, 2020.

I remember now, why I did capture the Crux again. My hope was to compare, side by side, my old Nikon D5000 and the "new" Canon T6i. Well, my D5000 served me well for a long time, but now it needs to retire. :)

Here is another deep-sky object from the meet-up on Saturday night (2nd April, 2016). This colourful gem is the Eta Carinae Nebula, for which we southern hemisphere folk are in prime viewing position. At the centre of the nebula is the “hypergiant” star Eta Carinae, which is estimated to be between 100 to 150 times the mass of the sun and about FOUR MILLION TIMES THE BRIGHTNESS LOF THE SUN! The nebula itself is about four times as large as the Orion Nebula, which I posted a photo of two nights back, but it’s not as well known because it’s not visible to most of the northern hemisphere.

 

This photo was created from a stack of five original images. Stacking reduces the digital noise in the final image.

The Crux constellation and the Coalsack Nebula (C99) captured with an old DSLR.

My Nikon D5000 have a serious issue with its sensor. On the right corner and top of the image we can see it failure. A region of the sensor which does have a lack of sensitivity.

First I though it was a "flat frame issue", but it's not. Darks and bias doesn't help.

Only after a carefully processing I'm "ok" in posting this picture. But my Nikon D5000 is old, and I'm not happy to say that it needs to retire.

I found an empty piece of plastic the other day, on which I had no hesitation in slapping a modded Canon 500D, purchased at a very reasonable price from James Stannard here. There then followed a bit of a learning curve - having been used to a Nikon - which has taken up the best part of two weeks. But I got there in the end :)

 

This is another collaboration with my good friend Dave Williams from the northern wastelands, who generously donated large portions of Ha, used as luminance.

 

I will now spend some time trying to breathe life into my Nikon D70 so that I can inflict some considerable pain on the thing, before I eventually kill it - slowly.... :)

The complete mosaic with this globular cluster and its surroundings can be viewed at flic.kr/p/2m84gRJ

 

Globular cluster M4 is the closest globular cluster to the Earth. It is situated in a very colorful part of the sky known as the Rho Ophiuchi dust complex. You can get a hint of the colors in the background of this image. This is part of the larger mosaic I am working on constructing around Antares. This is proving to be a good bit more challenging than the one near Sadr ( flic.kr/p/tYxubt ), mostly due to so many bright stars in the region. The gradients from the colors of interstellar dust and gas is also a challenge to work with.

 

The panels of the mosaic are stacks of 90 s shots. This portion includes 3 panels. There are 4 in the i Sco mosaic posted earlier (available at flic.kr/p/2gbsUqJ ). The 90 s shots were taken with a guided Celestron Edge HD 925 at f/2.3 with HyperStar and an Atik 314L+ one shot color camera.

A three hour gap in the endless, persistent cloud cover gave me just enough time to do another one of these things. Nebulous stuff takes several sessions under my light polluted skies, and would take months with the weather being as it is, so clusters beckon.

 

This is M38, aka NGC 1912, aka The Starfish Cluster (don't ask me why), and to the right is NGC 1907. M38 is about 4,200 light years away and is about 25 light years in diameter, similar to that of its more distant neighbour M37. It is about 220 million years old. NGC 1907 is around 4,500 light years from Earth. It contains around 30 stars according to Wiki (looks like more to me) and is over 500 million years old.

 

This is a closer crop than my previous two cluster efforts, for two reasons: first, the framing was rubbish, and second, the stars at the edges reminded me just how much I need a field flattener!

 

I'm running out of double clusters to do :)

Il Velo del Cigno è un resto di supernova che ha un'estensione angolare di circa 3 gradi e, secondo le osservazioni più precise, la distanza da noi è di circa 1470 anni luce. E' catalogato come Sh2-103 (W78 come sorgente radio) ma le sue parti hanno identificazione del più utilizzato catalogo NGC, la parte orientale è NGC 6992 e 6995, mentre la parte più occidentale è NGC6960.

Per riprenderlo quasi nella sua interezza, ho esguito un mosaico di 2x2, ogni pannello ha circa 5 ore e mezza di integrazione con pose guidate da 10 minuti con filtro dualband Antlia ALP-T 5nm per la nebulosa mentre per le stelle sono un'ora di pose da 60 secondi senza filtri.

The Cygnus Loop is a supernova remnant with an angular extension of about 3 degrees and, according to the most precise observations, its distance from us is about 1,470 light-years. It is cataloged as Sh2-103 (W78 as a radio source), but its parts are identified in the most widely used NGC catalog: the eastern part is NGC 6992 and 6995, while the westernmost part is NGC 6960.

To capture it almost in its entirety, I created a 2x2 mosaic. Each panel took about 5.5 hours of integration, with 10-minute guided exposures using an Antlia ALP-T 5nm dual-band filter for the nebula, and one hour of 60-second exposures without filters for the stars. 150/600 Newtonian telescope with Tecnosky 0.95x corrector, Tecnosky Vision 571C camera, Eq6-R Pro mount, Pixinsight processing.

Well heavens above - two clear nights on the bounce. I'd forgotten how to do this stuff ;)

 

My first guided image! :) The Crescent Nebula in Cygnus, a mere 5K light years away.

 

Bought a modded Quickcam Pro4000, with the adaptor to fit it to the SW 9x50 finder scope, from Badgers/Anton on SGL. Then did the EQ5 handset mod using the kit from Shoestring Astronomy, downloaded PHD and voila. Total cost £90 - can't be bad :) Not perfect of course, but then it was never going to be with an EQ5 and rubbish motors. There was some evidence of wispy bits around this, but it looked more like discolouration, so I took it out - probably expecting too much :)

We had several clear nights on the bounce a week or two back, and I spent the time imaging this thing as Cygnus was still getting up above my house a little late. This is just short of 10 hours, but I put it away because I got the feeling it was out of focus when comparing it with the version I did back in 2011 with the 200p. The stars in the cluster don't look quite as tight as I think they should.

 

Whaddya reckon? Out of focus?

"Stairway to Heaven"A few nights ago I was out gazing the milky way in the early pre-dawn sky. Twas a windy night at Dinosaur Point and i was tired and feeling less-than creative finding myself having difficulty composing. Watching the milky way in transit, i noticed the center hovering over the hills along the horizon reaching straight upward into the infinite sky. it appeared to be a cosmic stairway to heaven. Click and Voila! This shot really came to life in post, after delicate processing, the colors and details of the milky way make the pre-dawn sky bloom with color. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by:-)

Taken with a TMB92L, Canon T3i DSLR, Orion SSAG autoguider and 50mm guidescope, and Celestron AVX mount. Consists of 42 120-second light frames and 45 120-second dark frames, all at ISO 800, as well as 32 flat and 50 bias frames. Captured with BackyardEOS, stacked in DeepSkyStacker, and processed in Photoshop.

NGC 7380 - The Wizard Nebula

I appear to have figured out how to edit the stars a bit better. Or at least reduce their all invading presence.

/

Still more to do , but this is great for now. Pretty much one year since I got my "starter" kit from @firstlightoptics Aka, I could have bought a nice new bike.

Taken - after a recording time of 32 minutes - with my new digital telescope “ZWO Seestar S50 Smart Telescope”.

 

The Orion Nebula or Great Orion Nebula (also known as Messier-42, M42 or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebubula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion, and is knoes as the middle "star" in the "sword" of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye as a bright spot in the night sky.

 

De Mairan's Nebula (Messier-43, M43 or NGC 1982 is physically part of the Orion Nebula and looks like a sphere, and is separated from Orion Nebula by a dense (black) lane of dust known as Northeast Dark Lane.

 

At the top left you can already see the Running Man or Ghost Nebula (Sh2-279, S279 or NGC 1977) - still quite dark.

 

The photo consists of many individual images, each exposed for 10 seconds over a period of 32 minutes and automatically stacked by the Smart Telescope. This suppresses image noise and reveals more details - the longer the recording time, the clearer the result.

 

I then edited the resulting photo with Luminar Neo and jpg-Illuminator.

Aufgenommen nach einer Aufnahmezeit von 32 Minuten mit meinem neuen Digitalteleskop “ZWO Seestar S50 Smart Teleskop”.

 

Der Orionnebel oder Große Orionnebel (auch bekannt als Messier-42, M42 oder NGC 1976) ist ein diffuser Nebel in der Milchstraße, der sich südlich (unterhalb) des Oriongürtels im Sternbild Orion befindet und als mittlerer „Stern“ im „Schwert“ des Orion bekannt ist. Er ist einer der hellsten Nebel und am Nachthimmel mit bloßem Auge als heller Fleck sichtbar.

 

De Mairans Nebel (Messier-43, M43 oder NGC 1982) ist physikalisch Teil des Orionnebels und sieht aus wie eine Kugel. Er ist vom Orionnebel durch eine dichte (schwarze) Staubspur getrennt, die als "Northeast Dark Lane" bezeichnet wird.

 

Oben links kann man bereits - noch recht dunkel - den "Running Man" oder Geisternebel (Sh2-279, S279 oder NGC 1977) erkennen.

 

Das Foto besteht aus vielen Einzelbildern, die während eines Zeitraums von 32 Minuten jeweils 10 Sekunden belichtet und durch das Smart Telekop automatisch "gestackt" (gestapelt) wurden. Dadurch wird das Bildrauschen unterdrückt und es werden mehr Details sichtbar - je länger die Aufnahmezeit, desto klarer also das Ergebnis. Danach habe ich das so entstandene Foto mit Luminar Neo und jpg-Illuminator nachbearbeitet.

This is a portion of the dust complex just north of Antares, in Scorpius. The blue reflection nebula at the left surrounds the star i Sco. This is a mosaic of 4 panels which consist of stacks of 90 s subframes. My intention is to expand upon this later. Here is the final version.

 

Subframes taken with a guided Celestron Edge HD 9.25" at f/2.3 with Hyperstar and an Atik 314L+ color CCD. Preprocessing in Nebulosity; processing and mosaic creation in PixInsight; final touches in PS CS 5.1.

Another ellipsoidal collection of stars leftover from the formation of the Milky Way Galaxy. Part of why the center appears so dense is that, at over 11 kpc, the center is farther away than the center of our galaxy.
