A close look at the beautiful Oiii supernova reminant in the Cygnus region, surrounded by LBN325 and LBN326 Ha structures. The image is composed of two-panels mosaic combined in the duotone HOO palette. The processing resulted to be very challenging due to the very different intensities and structures between the Read more…
One of the landmark deep sky objects of the northern skies: the Heart (IC1805 including Melotte15) and Fish (IC1795 & NGC896) nebulae. Part of constellation Cassiopeia, the Heart & Fish is one of the brightest HII emission regions. The central part of the nebula is known as Melotte 15, an Read more…
IC 1396, best known as the Elephant’s Trunk nebula is a very bright concentration of gas and dust within the region of Cepheus. This was my first capture of 2021 with the new ASI2600MM camera. I was impressed with the capabilities of the IMX571 mono sensor. I choose a different Read more…
Messier 16 (M16), also known as Eagle Nebula, is a spectacular HII emission region in the heart of the Milky Way. The nebula is best known for the renowned image The Pillars of Creations from the Hubble Telescope, depicting the two gas star forming regions (“pillars”) expanding into the core Read more…
This spectacular emission nebula is part of the larger Cygnus Molecular Complex, including the regions LBN223, LBN234, LBN236and LBN240. The image is composed of two panels combined in SHO Hubble palette for a total imaging time of 27 hours in narrowband filters (Ha 54×300, Oiii 54×300, Sii 54×300 – each Read more…
This is a classic of astrophotography. IC1848 the Soul Nebula (Sharpless 2-199 LBN 667) is one of the most iconic nebulae located in Cassiopea. Because of the strong emission it’s relatively easy to photograph in narrowband. Soul has great colorful visual rendition when combined in SHO Hubble palette, with the Read more…
NGC1299 California Nebula in SHO “Hubble” palette. This is the last project of 2020 and took over two months to complete due to winter rainy season. The frame only includes the central portion of the California Nebula and comprises of over 20.8 hours of imaging time in narrowband filters. Final Read more…
