LBN 406, also known as the Laughing Skull Nebula is a vast interstellar molecular cloud region in the constellation Draco. One of the few broadband targets of the galaxy seasons besides…galaxies! The companion LBN 413 is visible on the bottom right corner of the frame. The target is very faint Read more…
One of the most iconic galaxies of the season in the northern hemisphere, the M51 or Whirpool Galaxy, is a magnificent spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. The Whirpoool Galaxy interacts with the companion NGC 5195 in a binary system with marked dust lanes that surround the two objects. Read more…
One of the most iconic galaxies of winter skies in the Northern Hemisphere. The “Sunflower” is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Canes Venatici, with a bright central disc and a number of short spiral arm segments dotted with starburst regions and dust lanes. The image is the result Read more…
M101 the “Pinwheel galaxy” is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. This is the first image with the new setup (CFF135 telescope +AP1100 + QHY268M), I am impressed with the level of details the CFF was able to resolve in the galaxy despite the small scale and the Read more…
Sh2-119 also known as the Clamshell nebula is a large emission complex in Cygnus, surrounding the bright star 68 A Cyg. Several dark dust lanes and globules cross the nebula creating suggestive dark filaments. 15hrs total integration time in narrowband SHO palette (5hrs Ha/Oiii/Sii each). High resolution here
VdB 152 & LBN 528 reflection nebula in Cepheus. VdB 152 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Cepheus radiated by the white-blue star BD+69 1231. The nebula is located on the tip of a vast elongated dark molecular cloud. A strong Ha filamentary emission region extends from top to bottom Read more…
The M96 Group, also known as Leo I Group, is a group of galaxies in the constellation Leo including M95, M96 and M105. M95and M96 are two spiral galaxies with marked star-forming regions. 5.3 hrs total integration in LRGB (2:1:1:1) combined with 2 hrs Ha to enhance the emission regions Read more…
This very interesting object in constellation Cygnus resembles the most famous Cocoon nebula. According to information I found online the the nebula is related to the RAFGL 2789 infrared emission source. Image is the result of of 13h integration of Ha, Oiii, Sii (4 h 20 min each filter) combined Read more…
HFG1 and Abell6, two very faint and unique nebulas in the constellation Cassiopea. The shape of HFG1 is formed by a system of binary stars orbiting each other and moving very fast through the Milky Way. The power of the system creates a shockwave as it is moves through the Read more…
IC 5070 or The Pelican Nebula is vast HII emission region next to the North America nebula, in the constellation Cygnus. Shot in narrowband SHO palette, the vast colorful emission region is covered by a foreground molecular cloud forming an intricate texture of dark filaments. The image is the result Read more…
