NGC3572, também conhecida como pequena tarântula. Esta nebulosa de emissão fica localizada entre as grandes nebulosas Eta Carinae e a Nebulosa da Galinha correndo. Eu via seu realce em capturas de maior distância focal e sempre tive vontade de captura-la em foco e ver mais detalhes dela. Missão cumprida! Captura feita com meu pequeno refrator APO, o William Optics ZenithStar 66 SD em um local bortle 3, o @bregildo_camping , em dia de lua quase cheia, com filtro Optolong L-Enhance.

NGC3572, also known by little tarantula nebula. This emission nebula is located between the great nebulae Eta Carinae and the Running Chiken Nebula. I always saw its shape in smaller focal distance captures and I always had the curiosity to see its details. Mission accomplished! Capture made with my small refractor APO, the William Optics ZenithStar 66 SD in a bortle 3 site, the @bregildo_camping , in an almost full moon night, using the Optolong L-Enhance filter.

Do you see the alien skull? This is the Rosette Nebula, a region of atomic hydrogen that has been ionized (HII region) by the star cluster in the middle.

The plan was to take about 40 x 200s exposures resulting in over 2 hours of integration. However, a tree came out of nowhere and ruined all the best laid plans of mice and screwed up guiding in most of the photos. At the end only 7 images were usable resulting in just under 25 mins of data.

The structure is about 5000 ly away and 130 ly wide.

Meu primeiro registro dessa nebulosa fantástica que é a Tarântula (NGC 2070). É a maior e mais brilhante nebulosa da Grande Núvem de Magalhães. É uma nebulosa tão grande e tão luminosa, que se estivesse dentro da nossa galáxia, seria maior que a lua cheia no céu! Essa captura foi feita toda na cidade (bortle 8) e fiz vários frames usando os filtros Optolong L-Enhance e L-Pro.

My first capture of this great nebula, the Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070). It's the biggest and brightest nebula of the Large Megallanic Cloud. It is so big and bright that if it was in our galaxy, it would be bigger than our full moon in the sky! This capture was made in the city (Bortle 8) and I made some frames using the Optolong L-Enhance filter and others using the L-Pro filter.

Nebulosas da Cabeça de Cavalo (IC434) e Nebulosa da Chama (NGC2024). Minha segunda captura dessa região, dessa vez em menor distância focal. A primeira nem está neste insta, pois não gostei muito. Apesar de ter quantidade considerável de ruído, desta segunda gostei da captura e tem bastante informação de h-alpha. Fiz fotos pra esta captura tanto na cidade (Bortle 8), com filtro L-Enhance, quanto em área Bortle 4, o @Bregildo_camping , com filtro L-Pro.

Horsehead (IC434) and Flame Nebulae (NGC2024). My second attempt of this region, this time with lower focal lenght. My first capture of this region is not on my instagram, I didn't like it very much. Despite the noise, I liked this capture because it have plenty of H-alpha emissions. I took pictures both in the city (Bortle 8), with the L-Enhance filter, and away from it (Bortle 4) at the @Bregildo_camping , with the L-Pro filter.

Você está vendo a Via Láctea, nosso "endereço cósmico" no universo! Esta imagem foi capturada com uma câmera astromodificada, que realça a luz emitida por nebulosas, especialmente no espectro do hidrogênio alfa (Hα), onde nascem novas estrelas. A lente grande angular de 14mm nos permite contemplar mais do céu em uma única foto, revelando a riqueza de detalhes desse "rio de estrelas". A Via Láctea contém mais de 100 bilhões de estrelas e muitas delas estão cercadas por planetas, quem sabe alguns tão habitáveis quanto a Terra! Cada ponto brilhante pode ser o lar de algo incrível.

You are looking at the Milky Way, our "cosmic address" in the universe! This image was captured using an astromodified camera, which enhances the light emitted by nebulas, especially in the hydrogen-alpha (Hα) spectrum, where new stars are born. The 14mm wide-angle lens allows us to capture more of the sky in a single shot, revealing the rich details of this "river of stars." The Milky Way contains over 100 billion stars, and many of them are surrounded by planets—perhaps some as habitable as Earth! Each bright spot could be home to something incredible.

A Nebulosa Crescente (NGC 6888) está localizada na constelação de Cygnus, a cerca de 5.000 anos-luz de distância da Terra. Formada pelo vento estelar intenso de uma estrela Wolf-Rayet massiva, a nebulosa adquire sua forma distinta à medida que o gás expelido da estrela colide com o material já lançado, criando ondas de choque. Essa interação dinâmica resulta em uma estrutura de filamentos coloridos, com tonalidades de vermelho e azul. É interessante que capturei este objeto em distâncias focais de 50mm, 310mm e agora 1100mm, o quanto os detalhes aumentam!

The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) is located in the constellation Cygnus, about 5,000 light-years away from Earth. Formed by the intense stellar wind of a massive Wolf-Rayet star, the nebula takes on its distinct shape as the gas expelled by the star collides with previously ejected material, creating shock waves. This dynamic interaction results in a structure of colorful filaments, with shades of red and blue. It's fascinating that I've captured this object at focal lengths of 50mm, 310mm, and now 1100mm—seeing how the details increase each time!

A nossa fascinante vizinha, a Grande Nuvem de Magalhães. É uma galáxia anã repleta de estrelas jovens, berçários estelares e até mesmo remanescentes de supernovas. Um dos seus destaques é a Nebulosa da Tarântula, uma gigantesca região de formação estelar que brilha intensamente, sendo um dos lugares mais ativos do tipo em todo o Universo próximo. Ela interage gravitacionalmente com a Pequena Nuvem de Magalhães, e até com a própria Via Láctea, criando rios de gás e estrelas que conectam as galáxias.

Our fascinating neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is a dwarf galaxy filled with young stars, stellar nurseries, and even supernova remnants. One of its highlights is the Tarantula Nebula, a massive star-forming region that shines intensely, making it one of the most active sites of its kind in the nearby Universe. It interacts gravitationally with the Small Magellanic Cloud and even with the Milky Way itself, creating streams of gas and stars that connect the galaxies.

Nebulosa crescente (NGC6888) é uma nebulosa formada por uma estrela que emite ventos estelares em diferentes velocidades que se chocam, gerando essas formas e cores. Fica na constelação do Cisne, bem ao norte, e é uma região rica em h-alpha, por isso vemos tanto vermelho. Estou muito satisfeito com essa foto pois é um objeto que queria capturar a tempos e me dediquei a aprender novas técnicas para seu processamento. Deu certo! Minhas fotos devem melhorar bastante daqui em diante. Foto feita em bortle 3 com filtro L-Enhance.

Crescent Nebula (NGC6888) it's a nebula formed by stelar winds ejected from a star in different velocities colliding. It is in Cygnus constellation and is a h-alpha rich region. That's why we see so many red. I'm very proud of that picture because it's an object that I wanted to capture for some years and I learned and used new processing technics in it. It worked!

Nebulosa da Água (M16 ou NGC6611) é uma nebulosa rica em h-alpha, um berço de estrelas a aproximadamente 6.500 anos luz da terra. Nela estão localizados os famosos pilares da criação, fotografados pelo Hubble. É possível vê-los bem definidos ao centro da imagem. Acredita-se que estes pilares não existam mais e que uma explosão de supernova os devastou. Vemos seu retrato de 6.500 anos atrás.

Eagle Nebula (M16 ou NGC6611) it's a nebula most of h-alpha, a star birth nebula aproximately 6.500 light years away from us. Inside of it are the famous Pillars of Creation, captured by Hubble Space Telescope. It's possible to see them well defined in the center of the nebula. Astronomers believe that the pillars don't exist anymore and a supernova destroyed them. We see it as it was about 6.500 years ago.

Irmã da Grande Núvem de Magalhães, aqui a Pequena Nuvem de Magalhães (NGC292). Trata-se de uma galáxia anã irregular que orbita a nossa Via Láctea a cerca de 200 mil anos-luz de distância. Rica em gás e poeira, essa galáxia é um berço de estrelas. Logo acima, o aglomerado estelar 47 Tucanae (NGC104). Visível a olho nu em locais com pouca poluição luminosa, principalmente no hemisfério sul. E você, já viu a Pequena Núvem de Magalhães?

Sister to the Large Magellanic Cloud, here is the Small Magellanic Cloud (NGC292). This is an irregular dwarf galaxy that orbits our Milky Way about 200,000 light-years away. Rich in gas and dust, this galaxy is a stellar nursery. Just above it lies the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC104). It is visible to the naked eye in areas with low light pollution, especially in the southern hemisphere. Have you ever seen the Small Magellanic Cloud?

M16 e M17, nebulosas da Águia e Ômega, regiões de formação estelar localizadas da Via Láctea com intensa atividade de formação de estrelas. O gás ionizado ao seu redor faz com que essas nebulosas emitam a luz vermelha característica. Essa captura inicia minhas brincadeiras com minha nova lente Samyang 135mm f2. Essa foi feita com um filtro L-Enhance à frente da lente, o que não ficou muito ideal e gerou vinhetagem, e em local bortle 8.

M16 and M17, the Eagle and Omega Nebulae, are star-forming regions in the Milky Way with intense stellar formation activity. The ionized gas around them emits the characteristic red light. This capture marks the beginning of my experiments with my new Samyang 135mm f2 lens. It was taken using an L-Enhance filter in front of the lens, which wasn’t ideal and caused vignetting, in a Bortle 8 location.

Minha captura com mais tempo de exposição até então! Feita dos céus de Ceilândia com bastante poluição luminosa (Bortle 8), capturei a região da nebulosa Eta Carinae (NGC3372) em 3 dias de fotos. A Eta Carinae é uma nebulosa bastante brilhante e com intensa formação estelar. Além dela, que é a maior nebulosa vista na foto, os principais objeto celestes presentes na foto são: Nebulosa Gabriela Mistral (NGC3324), mais arredondada à direita superior da Eta Carinae; Nebulosa do Dragão (NGC3576), no canto inferior esquerdo da foto; NGC3293, um aglomerado de estrelas logo acima da Gabriela Mistral; NGC3247, região à direita da NGC3293; Nebulosa da banana (NGC3199), região mais à direita superior da foto; e NGC3532, o aglomerado do poço dos desejos, que é um aglomerado aberto de estrelas mais à direita da Eta Carinae. Com certeza em um local sem poluição luminosa a captura ficaria ainda melhor. Porém o filtro ajuda bastante!

My longest exposure capture so far! Taken under the light-polluted skies of Ceilândia (Bortle 8), I captured the Eta Carinae Nebula region (NGC 3372) over three nights of imaging. Eta Carinae is a very bright nebula with intense star formation. Besides it, which is the largest nebula in the photo, the main celestial objects present in the image are: Gabriela Mistral Nebula (NGC 3324), a more rounded nebula at the upper right of Eta Carinae; Dragon Nebula (NGC 3576), in the bottom left corner of the image; NGC 3293, a star cluster just above Gabriela Mistral; NGC 3247, a region to the right of NGC 3293; Banana Nebula (NGC 3199), towards the upper right of the image; and NGC 3532, the Wishing Well Cluster, an open star cluster positioned further to the right of Eta Carinae. This capture would definitely look even better in a dark-sky location, but the filter helps a lot!

NGC 2070, Nebulosa da Tarântula! A maior e mais brilhante nebulosa da Grande Núvem de Magalhães. Essa captura não foi nada fácil, nem o processamento, pois ela estava baixa no céu e a turbulência atrapalhou bastante na nitidez das capturas. Porém, gostei do resultado final.

NGC 2070, the Tarantula Nebula! The largest and brightest nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This capture was anything but easy, and neither was the processing, as it was low in the sky and turbulence significantly affected the sharpness of the images. However, I’m pleased with the final result.

Luta dos Dragões de Ara (NGC6188) e o Ovo do Dragão (NGC6164 e NGC6165). A primeira é uma nebulosa de emissão, rica em h-alpha. Tem este nome por ter a aparência de dois dragões se enfrentando. A segunda é uma nebulosa difusa, criada pela ejeção da nebulosa por parte de sua estrela central, um tipo raro de estrela. Foto feita em bortle 3 com filtro L-Enhance.

Nebulosa da Lagoa M8 e Nebulosa Trífida M20. Objetos bastante brilhantes e que escolhi para iniciar minhas experiências com captura RGB e Ha. De quebra pude observar outros objetos estelares que com certeza irei capturar com uma distância focal maior para trazer mais detalhes! Captura foi feita em julho de 2025 na Chapada dos Veadeiros.

Lagoon Nebula M8 and Trifid Nebula M20. Both are very bright deep-sky objects, and I chose them to begin my experiments with RGB and H-alpha capture. As a bonus, I spotted other stellar objects in the field that I definitely plan to revisit with a longer focal length to reveal more detail! Captured in July 2025 at Chapada dos Veadeiros, Brazil.

Conhecida como Nebulosa do Camarão, IC4628 é uma região de emissão localizada na constelação de escorpião. Tem aproximadamente 250 anos-luz de diâmetro. Apesar de ser bem brilhante, muitas vezes ela passa despercebida nas observações. Com certeza a revisitarei com mais tempo de exposição e também com uma distância focal maior para pegar mais detalhes.

Known as the Prawn Nebula, IC 4628 is an emission region located in the constellation Scorpius. It spans approximately 250 light-years in diameter. Despite being quite bright, it often goes unnoticed in observations. I will definitely revisit it with longer exposure times and a larger focal length to capture more details.
