IC1805, aka the Heart and Soul nebula as seen with a canon lens and CCD camera…
Here is a widefield image of IC1396, aka the Elephant Trunk nebula. This was made with a simple setup using a canon lens and a ccd camera…
Yesterday I wanted to do a last test of my new Canon 100mm lens with my CCD to see if I could do some mosaicing. When I started I decided to go for really large scale. So I decided to try to do it with short exposures to see what I could get. I ended …

Images of the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula made with a 100mm Canon lens at F2.8 and a SXV-H9 CCD camera.
Recently I bought a geoptik adapter to attach a Canon lens to my SXV-H9 ccd. I also bought a Canon f2.0 100mm lens to start making widefields… This night I made my first test at home of the setup. It consists of the SXV-H9 with the canon lens on an EQ6 mount without any autoguiding …
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 …
This image was processed before by the Hubble team but in a totally different way. In their image the hubble palette was used, using 3 images. For this image 6 different bands were used: hst_06227_02_wfpc2_f658n_wf_sci N2: used as yellow hst_06227_02_wfpc2_f673n_wf_sci SII: used as red hst_06227_02_wfpc2_f953n_wf_sci SIII: used as magenta/red hst_06227_02_wfpc2_f487n_wf_sci h-beta: used as lightblue hst_06227_02_wfpc2_f502n_wf_sci …
NGC 6357 is a diffuse nebula near NGC 6334 in the constellation Scorpius. This nebula was given the name War and Peace Nebula by the Midcourse Space Experiment scientists because of its appearance. They said that in infrared images the bright, western part resembles a dove, while the eastern part looks like a skull. The …
