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…
VdB 15 is a faint reflection nebula in the constellation Camelopardalis. The core of the nebula resembles the well known Iris nebula for color and details. The nebula extends next to a vast Ha region that can be partially seen in one corner of the frame in the typical Ha 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…
LBN 552 and LDN 1228 dark nebulae in Cepheus. The dark nebulas are very faint and part of a larger dark molecular complex. The image is a result of two-panels mosaic composed of L 413x60s and R/G/B 130x60s for a total of 9hrs of integration each panel High resolution here Read more…
NGC 1333 is a reflection nebula located in the western part of the Perseus molecular cloud. The blue nebula is surrounded by a dense dust cloud and is home of a very active star forming region. The image is the result of 23.5 hours of integration of broadband LRGB exposures 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…
