Nach Herz kommt Seele IC1848 - Seelennebel. Nächste Runde mit ASI 2600 MC und Asiair. Diesmal funktionierte fast alles... Polar Alignment - super. Ziel anfahren - super. Plate Solve - super.

Very wet weather, even if i used dew heaters for the telescope i realized too later that dew was present also in the flattener lens.....so Flats have not worked very well. I had to use sintetic flats to mitigate issues.

Some weeks ago I published a “widefield” of the Andromeda Galaxy but then decided to take another rendition of it, this time with a smaller FOV and focusing in bringing out the hydrogen clouds (the pink spots) and the dust clouds (the brown filaments) close to the nucleus, which is not so common to see.

In the end I enjoyed it so much that took a crop and also publish as a separated image.

 

I hope you enjoy.

In the constellation of Ursa Major, at about 25 million light years from us lies the Pinwheel Galaxy. This beautiful galaxy has 170,000 light years across, about twice of our Milky Way.

In the photo, two types of color clusters hint on the objects present: the red-pinkish ones are the hydrogen rich nebulas where star forming is taking place and the blue ones on the spiral arms are clusters of young and hot blue stars.

 

This photo is a cropped reprocessing of my previously published photo.

In the constellation of Canes Venatici but quite close to Ursa Major’s star Alkaid lies the Whirlpool Galaxy, a beautiful interacting grand-design spiral galaxy. It is located at about 31 million light years from us and can be seen during Spring even with binoculars if the sky is dark enough.

 

Very prominently, this galaxy is interacting with a smaller one - NGC 5195 - the yellowish one on the right. As a result, large tidal tails are formed - those are the faint yellow structures around both galaxies.

Looking closer to M51, dark lanes in the spiral arms can be seen; what are these? They are compressed gas and dust clouds - the raw material for stars. And these new stars being formed are what makes the blue patches seen nearby.

 

One of amateurs astrophotographers preferred targets, the Whirlpool galaxy is, for sure, an amazing view. I hope you enjoy.

The Andromeda Galaxy, with a diameter of 200 light years, is a spiral galaxy at approximately 2.5 million light years from Earth and it is the largest galaxy of the Local Group which also contains the Milky Way, the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) and about 44 other smaller galaxies.

The Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way at about 100 kilometres per second. This makes Andromeda one of the few blueshifted galaxies that we observe. It is expected to directly collide with the Milky Way in about 4 billion years. Like the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy has satellite galaxies, consisting of 14 known dwarf galaxies. The best known and most readily observed satellite galaxies are M32 and M110.

Object description (wikipedia.org):

 

The Elephant's Trunk nebula is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust within the much larger ionized gas region IC 1396 located in the constellation Cepheus about 2,400 light years away from Earth. The piece of the nebula shown here is the dark, dense globule IC 1396A; it is commonly called the Elephant's Trunk nebula because of its appearance at visible light wavelengths, where there is a dark patch with a bright, sinuous rim. The bright rim is the surface of the dense cloud that is being illuminated and ionized by a very bright, massive star (HD 206267) that is just to the west of IC 1396A. (In the Figure above, the massive star is just to the left of the edge of the image.) The entire IC 1396 region is ionized by the massive star, except for dense globules that can protect themselves from the star's harsh ultraviolet rays.

 

The Elephant's Trunk nebula is now thought to be a site of star formation, containing several very young (less than 100,000 yr) stars that were discovered in infrared images in 2003. Two older (but still young, a couple of million years, by the standards of stars, which live for billions of years) stars are present in a small, circular cavity in the head of the globule. Winds from these young stars may have emptied the cavity.

 

The combined action of the light from the massive star ionizing and compressing the rim of the cloud, and the wind from the young stars shifting gas from the center outward lead to very high compression in the Elephant's Trunk nebula. This pressure has triggered the current generation of protostars.

Processed some old data from november last year.

Commonly known as Gecko Nebula, LBN 437 is a molecular cloud in constellation Lacerta (“lizard”), located at about 1,200 light years from us. Notably, this nebula is paired with a much larger one - Sh2-126 - here seen as the red cloud permeating the image. In the densest region, here seen near the center, a star forming region exists and includes an Herbig Haro object associated with V375 Lacertae.

Our version of Messier 106 galaxy with the whole AstroFleet team. The data were acquired with our setup (TS-Optics CF-APO 155mm & ASI2600MM Pro) hosted at PixelSkies, Spain.

 

Messier 106 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Canes Venatici, approximately 22 to 25 million light-years away from Earth. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781 and was later included in Charles Messier's catalog of nebulae and star clusters.

 

Galaxy’s dust lanes formed a spiral pattern which can be traced into its bright central core. The spiral arms end in bright blue knots, which are young star clusters dominated by very hot, luminous, massive stars which only have a lifetime of a few million years. Also conspicuous is the yellowish remnant of an older spiral arm, whose color indicates that its more massive stars ceased to shine long ago.

 

Since the 1950s, Messier 106 has been known as a source of radio emission, and appears much larger in radio emission than in visible light. It is also a Seyfert galaxy; due to unusual emission lines in its spectrum, discovered by Carl Seyfert in 1943, we now suspect that matter in the galaxy is falling into a supermassive black hole at its center.

 

Two supernovae were discovered in Messier 106: SN 1981K et SN 2014bc.

- SN 1981K: This supernova (type II) occured on November 3 1981 by swiss astronomer Paul Wild.

- SN 2014bc: This supernova (type II) were discovered by PS1 Science Consortium.

Sharpless 101 (Sh2-101) is a H II region emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is sometimes also called the Tulip Nebula because it appears to resemble the outline of a tulip when imaged photographically. It was catalogued by astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 catalog of nebulae. It lies at a distance of about 6,000 light-years from Earth.

 

Sharpless 101 (Sh2-101) è una nebulosa ad emissione situata nella costellazione del Cigno. A volte viene anche chiamata Nebulosa Tulipano perché sembra assomigliare al contorno di un tulipano. Fu catalogata dall'astronomo Stewart Sharpless nel suo catalogo di nebulose del 1959. Si trova ad una distanza di circa 6.000 anni luce dalla Terra.
