This is another Halloween treat. Can you see the Wizard in this image of the Wizard Nebula? The total exposure time was about 6 hours through an H-Alpha filter. I will be working on a color version.

BUBBLE NEBULA (COLORIZED)
This is the result of stacking an additional five hours of SII and OIII narrowband images with the H-Alpha images that were used to produce the black and white version.

PROPELLER NEBULA (DWB111)
The Propeller Nebula is a very faint emission nebula in Cygnus. This is a stacked group of 30 five minute exposures in H-Alpha and 30 five minute exposures in O3 for a total exposure time of five hours. It was taken through the Astro-Physics 130mm Starfire Refractor and the QSI 690wsg camera.
PELICAN NEBULA
With the improving weather I was able to finish this off. The benefits of longer exposures are starting to pay off. The image is a stacked composite of 90 five minute narrow band exposures taken through the Astro Physics 130MM Starfire refractor for a total exposure time of 7.5 hours. It was processed in MaximContinue reading “PELICAN NEBULA”
Supernova in NGC 4386
This is a recently discovered Supernova that I calculate is currently at magnitude 14.5. It is a crop of a 200 second exposure taken with a QSI 583wsg camera and the C11 Edge HD. Below is an inverted view.
