This is the Soul Nebula(IC1848). Blending was done by putting the Halpha data into the R-channel, Oii into the G-channel, Siii into the B-channel, and then applying a Luminance layer.

This is not a well-processed photo by any means, especially the overexposed centre of M42. However, I wanted to see how much nebulosity I could capture in a light polluted city sky. I will keep practicing on this photo.

They have spent millions of years interacting with each other, but are now moving apart.

My equipment for the image was a Skywatcher 150p reflector on a EQ3-2 mount fitted with dual axis motor drives. So it was tracking, but not guiding.

Decisamente un brutta foto, ne sono consapevole...scentrata, poca nebulosità, artefatti intorno alle stelle e chi più ne ha più ne metta!

Resto comunque dell'impressione che il mio maggior problema sia (oltre all'inquinamento luminoso) l'elaborazione al pc! Se qualcuno vuole gli posso passare il TIFF originale e elaborarlo, così, giusto per vedere quanto sengnale mi mangio...

Ho deciso di pubblicarla perchè ho fatto una fatica bestia per farla...ma, ahimè, non è un gran risultato!

NGC 2174 is an H II emission nebula located in the constellation Orion and is associated with the open star cluster NGC 2175. It is thought to be located about 6,400 light-years away from Earth. The nebula may have formed through hierarchical collapse.

Minha primeira captura da Galáxia do Triângulo (M33). É uma de nossas galáxias vizinhas, sendo grande e brilhante no céu, localizada relativamente próxima a Andrômeda. O enquadramento não foi dos melhores e nem a guiagem, porém ainda sim gostei bastante da captura. A captura foi feita a partir de um local bortle 1/2, o @campingecachoeiradoscristais sem filtros.

My first capture of the Triangulum Galaxy (M33). It's one of our neighbour galaxies and is big and bright in the night sky, being located next to the Andromeda galaxy.

Messier 17, também conhecida como Nebulosa Ômega ou Nebulosa do Cisne, é uma das maiores regiões de formação de estrelas na nossa galáxia Via Láctea.

A Nebulosa Ômega foi descoberta em 1745 pelo astrônomo Suíço Jean-Philippe Loys de Chéseaux. Está localizada a 5.500 anos-luz da Terra na constelação do Sagitário. A nebulosa tem uma magnitude aparente de 6 e pode ser vista com binóculos.

The planet Saturn and its two moons, Titan (lower left) and Iapetus (upper right, farther away). This is just a test shot and it turned out overexposed, but the ring can still be (faintly) seen on its lower left and upper right corners. The spot very close to Saturn's upper right corner may be the superposition of Dione and Rhea.
