IC 443 (nota anche come Nebulosa Medusa e Sharpless 248 ( Sh2-248 )) è un residuo di supernova galattica (SNR) nella costellazione dei Gemelli . La sua distanza è di circa 5.000 anni luce dalla Terra. IC 443 potrebbe essere i resti di una supernova avvenuta tra 3.000 e 30.000 anni fa. IC 443 è uno dei casi meglio studiati di resti di supernova che interagiscono con le nubi molecolari circostanti.

I had to reduce the image in size after calibrating each frame in DeepSkyStacker before DSS would stack. Too large stars where contributing to that.

It was really, really cold early this morning around quarter to two. But that meant the skies were clear and seeing was good for urban astrophotography.

This is made up of 6 exposures of 15 seconds each combined in DeepSkyStacker and then a curve applied in Photoshop CS2 (effectively 90 seconds). Interestingly, DeepSkyStacker creates a 32-bit TIFF. In order to create an 8-bit JPEG Photoshop uses the HDR function. I chose Local Adaptation for the tone mapping.

 

You can see the Andromeda Galaxy to the right of the airplane lights and the Double Cluster further to left of the lights.

A nice night for catching stars in Kananaskis Country.

This is a dwarf galaxy in Sagittarius also called Barnard's galaxy. I imaged this object in two nights, 26-27/08 and 15-16/09/2017. Note the different distribution of bright blue stars and the brownish "bulge". North is on the right. I increased the colour saturation much more than I usually do in order to show this difference.

Canon 5D3 with Celestron CGEM 1100HD. ISO 1600, 10 minute exposures with dark frame for each. Stack of 5 shots using Deepskystacker. A 2.5 minute exposure was used to blend into the center core to reduce washout there.

 

Manual guiding using Celestron's off-axis guider and Orion's 12.5mm illuminated reticle eyepiece.

This photo was taken from Silchester, Hampshire, UK (51.35 long, 1.06667 lat).on 24 September 2013 between 11.30pm and 12.00am.

 

The photo is composed of 20 exposures of 75 seconds at ISO 6400 with 8 dark frames subtracted and all stacked using Deepskystacker.

 

The Monkey Head Nebula (NGC 2175) is a small emission nebula located in the constellation Orion. In my opinion, this nebula really does resemble it's name (although to me it looks more like a human skull).

 

My equipment is a modified Canon EOS 1100D, a Sky Watcher ED80 telescope and an EQ3-2 Mount with an RA motor. I also used a UHC filter.
