Toward the end of January we pointed a few of our systems at Abell 33, a small planetary nebula in the southern constellation Hydra, approximately 2,500 light years from Earth. A planetary nebula is created when a star blows off its outer layers after running out of fuel.
Abell 33 is off axis to the Milky Way so its expansion remained mostly unhindered by interstellar materials, resulting in its spherical shape. The bright rim is a result of our seeing more gases along the 3-dimensional edge of the bubble. Abell 33 is approximately 4.5 arcminutes in diameter, about 1/7 the diameter of the moon as seen from Earth. The nebula is by chance aligned with a 7th magnitude foreground star along its edge (HD 83535) giving a diamond ring appearance. The nebula's progenitor star, on its way to becoming a white dwarf, is the white spot just off-center inside the bubble.
38-1/2 hours of narrowband data was shot using Oxygen 3 and Hydrogen Alpha filters, with the Ha mapped to the red channel and O3 mapped to the green and blue channels of this RGB image. Shot with our RiLA 600mm, RiFAST 400mm and four RH 300mm telescopes.

The ST100 Maglev is the preferred way to get around the surface of Planet Frost. Powered by a Cyclonic Fusion core, the 5 car consist is capable of reaching speeds in excess of 700 mph. Boasting a smooth ride and luxurious accomodations, the ST100 is popular among locals and visitors alike.
The ST100 is powered with Power Functions. The model features 16 3mm LEDs. This is the first element of a large space display I'm (slowly) working on.

This is data from one of Damian's Barbados sessions on a Celestron C14 + ADC using a ZWO ASI224MC camera.
The data was 13 x OSC TIF files which I have sharpened in RegiStax6, then centred each frame in PIPP. After that, I stacked all 13 frames in AutoStakkert!3 before finally using Photoshop for toning, vibrance, texture and unsharp mask.

i finally after forever picked up 3 of these super duperly awesome 1940/50 space helmets. man there groovy
Slightly less atmospheric turbulence last night so was able to pick up a little more detail.
Still fine tuning the Celestron electronic focuser which is tricky given the turbulence.

The other figure I'm making for BBTB.
Also, the design here is digitally applied, as I'm still waiting on my printer to finish them.
Mars and Earth are like two siblings who have grown apart.
There was a time when their resemblance was uncanny: Both were warm, wet and shrouded in thick atmospheres. But 3 or 4 billion years ago, these two worlds took different paths.
We may soon know why they went their separate ways. NASA's InSight spacecraft arrived at the Red Planet on Monday, Nov. 26, and will allow scientists to compare Earth to its rusty sibling like never before.
This composite image of Earth and Mars was created to allow viewers to gain a better understanding of the relative sizes of the two planets.

This one kicked the shit out of me mentally and physically to paint it but im happy with the end result...
I think this looks like a planet with its moons.
Thank you for your comments and faves – they are greatly appreciated!

A planetary nebula in the constellation Vulepecula.
The central star has shed its outer layers to become a white dwarf star. The intense UV light from the white dwarf makes the layers fluoresce - red-pink for ionised hydrogen and blue for doubly ionised oxygen.
Knowing the rate of expansion of the shells then working backwards, the nebula is about 14600 years old.

Thank you for looking at NGC 6826 (also known as Caldwell 15) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is commonly referred to as the "blinking planetary"

48/52.....We have taken over the one you call "Facenorth's" photostream to give a message. His weak attempt at trying to avoid our tracking devices with tinfoil have failed. We are taking him and his supply of guinness beer with us, we will return him in 1 weeks time. Untill then sit back crank your speakers and listen to our message......
“The Medusa Nebula is a large planetary nebula in the constellation of Gemini on the Canis Minor border. It also known as Abell 21 and Sharpless 2-274. It was originally discovered in 1955 by UCLA astronomer George O. Abell, who classified it as an old planetary nebula. The braided serpentine filaments of glowing gas suggests the serpent hair of Medusa found in ancient Greek mythology.” Wikipedia
It is at a distance of 1500 light years, and has size 4 ly. It is magnitude 16 overall, but the details are faint.

Because the planet was collapsing under its ballooning population, the rich strata moved off the planet to other options - vast spaceships dedicated to giving the impression of planetary living or other inhabitable planets. Amenities like motor vehicles soon followed, but technological developments had caught up with 1970s and 80s wishful thinking. Speeders had become a transport option, and were favored by government and citizens alike. Wrecking Speeders, designed to pull wrecked vehicles under 6000 GVWR. Seen here in the colors of a private towing entrepreneur.

Gonna be showing this at BFVA. Might add a couple stickers. Catch me if you're there! I'll be there most of the weekend, probably, seeing if anyone I know is still around.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - I found this area while wondering the backroads north of Sheridan at night. The aurora I had tried to capture was a bust, but when I left the milky way was perfectly placed above these bluffs. Mars and Saturn were close together after their conjunction last week. I lit up the formation with my headlamp from the side to add depth.

Saturn and Mercury had set with the sun and so it was never going to be possible to see all 7 planets.

Some lovely fine detail coming through this afternoon around Tycho crater, as I tested my planetary telescope with a view to getting some lunar shots later.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM camera fitted with a Baader longpass filter.
Imaged with Sharpcap then processed using Registax 6 and Photoshop 2021.
Getting better with practice and less turbulence again tonight.

Planetary alignment in the dawn of June 24, 2022. Mercury (as expected) is lost in the twilight (even if, with a lot of imagination and a little good will, one might see a tiny dot of light in the right place in the original RAW files), the rest of the planets are visible "in the correct order", i.e. corresponding to the actual distance from the Sun. The Moon (with visible Earthsine!) represents the Earth-Moon-system in this row: Mercury (Merkur) - Venus - Moon (Mond) - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn.
