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 …
Messier 94 (also known as NGC 4736) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781, and catalogued by Charles Messier two days later. Although some references describe M94 as a barred spiral galaxy, the “bar” structure appears to be more oval-shaped. The galaxy is also notable …
Well, this was my hardest processing job until now. Combining the different hubble datasets to get equal colors was really hard. M77 was not fully covered by one dataset, so I had to combine channels of the WFPC2 with different wavelengths and tune the colors to get them to fit. But the result is in …
NGC 3314 is a pair of overlapping spiral galaxies between 117-140 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra. This unique alignment gives astronomers the opportunity to measure the properties of interstellar dust in the face-on foreground galaxy (NGC3314a), which appear dark against the background galaxy (NGC 3314b). Unlike interacting galaxies, the two components of NGC3314 …
NGC 1376 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Eridanus. It was discovered on 28th januari 1785 by William Herschel.

IRAS 08339 is a dwarf galaxy observed by the hubble space telescope. Datasets used: IRAS 08339+6517 HST_10575_05_ACS_HRC_F220W HST_10575_05_ACS_HRC_F330W HST_10575_05_ACS_HRC_F435W HST_10575_05_ACS_HRC_F550M HST_10575_05_ACS_HRC_FR656N
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 …
NGC 3521 is a galaxy in the constellation of Leo that has been imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2001. This data was never used to create an image by the Hubble team, but now because of the hidden treasures contest I decided to retrieve the data and process it the way I like …
Messier 106 (also known as NGC 4258) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781. M106 is at a distance of about 22 to 25 million light-years away from Earth. It is also a Seyfert II galaxy, which means that due to x-rays and unusual emission …
Planetoid 68 Leto passed between 14th and 17th of March 2012 through the Pleiades star cluster. This planetoid has a size of about 122 km and can be found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. After making some images of the Pleiades I saw that there was a planetoid moving through the field of …
