This image was the result of combining my Hubble image created from 2011 WFC3 data and data from the Subaru Telescope (8.2m) in Hawaii, processed by Robert Gendler. He kindly shared the data and the final result is an astonishing image showing the outer shells of the M57 planetary nebula. More info about this nebula …
This image shows the most detailed image taken of M57, until present day. The famously named “Ring Nebula” (also catalogued as Messier 57, M57 or NGC 6720) appears in the northern constellation of Lyra and is located in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm. It is one of the most prominent examples of a planetary nebula, the gaseous …
Here is a comparison image showing results from my C11 and the 8.2m telescope in Chili and the Spitzer space telescope. Notice the differences in exposure time!
The Heart Nebula, IC 1805, Sh2-190, lies some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. This is an emission nebula showing glowing gas and darker dust lanes. The nebula is formed by plasma of ionized hydrogen and free electrons. The nebula’s intense …

NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus. The complex encompasses the emission region designated Sharpless 171, and the young cluster of stars named Berkeley 59. The complex is believed to be some 800-1000 pc distant, with the younger components aged no more than a few million years. The complex …
