De la NASA: la nebulosa Sh2-308 tiene un diámetro de unos 60 años luz, que a 5.200 años luz de distancia le da un tamaño aparente similar al de la luna llena. Es creada por los vientos originados por la estrella en el centro, de la clase Wolf-Rayet. Tiene unos 70.000 años de antigüedad. Su color azuloso se debe al brillo de los átomos de oxígeno ionizado. En la imagen pueden verse además 40 galaxias del catálogo PCG y las nebulosas Sh2-303, LBN-1047 y LBN-1052

Elaboration with Pixinsight

This is the very last photo from the ED80 that has be retired most likely sold off or given away. I am starting the harrowing learning of using a reflector telescope. the good part the focuser and camera train are the very same as was on the ED80. I had a list of things to buy just to get the scope operational it has been a slow progress to not in stock or slow deliveries, my last part lands wednesday next week

 

The biggest part is learn how two line up the two mirrors so you get a photos. What I am changing to is a 200 F4 PREMIUM PHOTO QUATTRO REFLECTOR OTA its not a lens as such but all mirrors. I will be changing from a 420mm to an 800mm. This will be a while off as I get use to lining up but for the next it will be a shot from my fathers prime Nikon 85mm F1.8 D lens of Antares and the Blue horse.

 

the ever changing view we get of space and the things we challenge ourselves This Is a shot that took three night to get and it was hard fought with clouds. now we are in a good week plus of rain a clouds just to remind you we have our feet firmly place on this earth..

The Eagle Nebula (catalogued as Messier 16 or M16, and as NGC 6611, and also known as the Star Queen Nebula) is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens, discovered by Jean-Philippe de Cheseaux in 1745–46. Both the "Eagle" and the "Star Queen" refer to visual impressions of the dark silhouette near the center of the nebula, an area made famous as the "Pillars of Creation" imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. The nebula contains several active star-forming gas and dust regions, including the aforementioned Pillars of Creation. The Eagle Nebula lies in the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way.

Thanks to Kayron at www.lightvortexastronomy.com for the wonderful tutorials.

 

I am very pleased with the detail of the data but I feel the stars do overpower and I would welcome any constructive criticism as to what I may be doing wrong (over exposure?) or can do to correct this in processing.

 

Dusty emission in the Tadpole nebula, IC 410, lies about 12,000 light-years away in the northern constellation Auriga. The cloud of glowing gas is over 100 light-years across, sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from embedded open star cluster NGC 1893. Formed in the interstellar cloud a mere 4 million years ago, bright cluster stars are seen all around the star-forming nebula. Notable near the image center are two relatively dense streamers of material trailing away from the nebula's central regions. Potentially sites of ongoing star formation in IC 410, these cosmic tadpole shapes are about 10 light-years long.

When the moon was up, I took a few h-alpha frames of M106. Processing was mainly done in Pixinsight, also to create a LHaRGB image. I found it quite challenging to find the right color balance and It was quite hard to bring out just a little of the h-alpha jets around the center of the galaxy.

Topaz Denoise for a last processing step

I picked up a new lens for the Nikon D5100 and had a couple of good nights during our last trip to Cambria. This is from the only stack I got that night, as the lens was covered in condensation by the end of this run.

 

Again, we have zodiacal light rising above the ocean. The ecliptic makes a wider angle with the horizon at this time of year, so the cone of light is pointing more upward. Jupiter is essentially on the horizon in this pic, with Venus shining brightly enough to reflect off the water above it. The Pleiades also lie along that line, with Mars at the top of the frame.

 

I combined the foreground that I shot a few nights before with the sky from the night of March 17. I couldn't remember exactly where I had setup -- I was at most a few meters from the previous location. The sea was rougher on March 15, so that added a bit of drama with the waves and rocks.

 

The sky is a stack of 16 images with the settings listed in the EXIF data. They were registered, stacked, and processed in PixInsight. The land/water was color balanced with the sky in PI as well. The components were brought together and blended in Photoshop, with a light touch from Topaz Labs to knock down the noise.

 

Deep sky objects that are visible include the California Nebula, the Hyades star cluster, the Andromeda Galaxy, and many others if you look closely. The Milky Way is visible through Auriga, Taurus, and Perseus at the top of the frame.

 

I'm very happy with this new lens.

Spiral Galaxy IC342 is relatively close to us at about 10.7 million LY and subtends across 21.4 x 20.9 arcminutes of sky which makes it about 2/3 of the size of the full Moon yet it is quite faint and not well known to visual observers.

 

This is because it lies, from our viewpoint, behind a veil of Milky Way stars and dust clouds which obscure its brightness.

 

Bright red/pink Hydrogen alpha zones and dark dust lanes can be made out but the general "blueness" of its spiral arms which are rich in young OB class stars is subdued by the intervening dust. Overall, the galaxy is, well..., sort of too red! And our eyes aren't sensitive to red.

 

If it wasn't for the dust, this galaxy would be naked eye visible! I had to resist the temptation to bump up brightness and blueness during processing - its meant to be obscure and reddish!

I know that I am a bit late to the party, but here is my take of the close encounter of Mars with the Pleiades open cluster.

 

I would have loved to shoot this as a deepscape from a dark sky location with some nice landscape in the foreground, but first I was clouded out and when it finally cleared, I had to fly the other day and was only able to shoot from my light polluted backyard.

 

Sometimes, you have to take what you can, even if it means to shoot a reflection nebula under a bortle 5 sky. Hope I will have better conditions in 17 years, when this encounter will happen again.

The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant, many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers. The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun which exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago.

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs from Earth. It is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way and was often referred to as the Great Andromeda Nebula in older texts... (from Wikipedia)

 

Being a very large object in our sky, my telescope's 1000mm focal length and 1.25º x 0.83º field of view wasn't nearly enough to capture whole galaxy in one shoot so my choice was "left" part of the galaxy including it's bright core which contains supermassive black whole. In spiral arms there are lots of dust lanes and big blueish star cloud known as NGC 206 along with some of the Ha regions visible. There is also small but bright satellite galaxy M32 near upper edge of the Andromeda Galaxy

I love these dark nebula, they are great targets.

I have to say I have been beaten by nature so this is what I have... We have clouds next few night. This is on the Northern Track of the Milky way Does not get very high so very prone to City lights.two night put it far too low to try for more shots.

 

I think I have left this on way too late( waiting for the moon to die down) as it did not get much above the trees and power lines. There is a whole lot more below and right that this two shot panorama did not capture. This was set up with camera rotation on the field of view in Nina and I have to say this two shot panorama is 100% perfect in the way it was pictured and how it came out.

 

This was to be a 6 night group of shots but clouds have killed it as it is really now far too low to try for more shots after the clouds pass,this is three night 25 shots panel one bottom of image but the main the top panel is only 2 night at 25 shots per night. To say I am a little surprised that it has come out fairly well for the number of shots and the clarity of shots above the city lights.

 

I hope to come back to this next year to get the whole area with the Nikon 300mm lens. enjoy a few of the odd balls of space.

A few years ago when I was very green (still am showing shades of pine) I decided to attempt to photograph Corona Australis' dusty and nebulous parts. Needless to say I failed miserably, due in part to equipment limitations but mostly due to processing limitations (not enough experience). This past weekend I was on Haleakala, and I decided that I wanted to redo, or do a take two, of Corona Australis.

 

It took 2 nights to collect this data, from the summit of Haleakala.

Cepheus Pilars (NGC7822) in Hα-SII/OIII/OIII+rgb.

 

It's a mosaic of 2x1 panels providing a original drizzle resolution of 12K and reduced to 3k for showing purposes.

 

Was challenging acquire and process all that amount of data, more than 160 hours of integration time in two panels of 80 hours each one.

It was captured in 18 sessions, between September 10th and October 15th with my dual setup.

  

NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus.

The complex encompasses the emission region designated Sharpless 171, and the young cluster of stars named Berkeley 59.

The complex is believed to be some 800-1000 pc distant (3,000 light years), with the younger components aged no more than a few million years.
