Somewhere in October I started with gathering some data of M42 with my TMB92. With this scope it was finally possible to get this nebula in my field of view. Weather only didn’t cooperate lately (nicely said). So when it was clear yesterday I did shoot some more data. It is not enough yet for …
NGC7789 aka Caroline’s Rose… NGC 7789 is an open cluster in Cassiopeia that was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783. Her brother William Herschel included it in his catalog as H VI.30. This cluster is also known as “The White Rose” Cluster or “Caroline’s Rose” Cluster because when seen visually, the loops of stars and dark …
This image shows the Double Cluster in the constellation of Perseus. The Double Cluster (also known as Caldwell 14) is the common name for the naked-eye open clusters NGC 869 and NGC 884 (often designated h Persei and χ Persei, respectively), which are close together in the constellation Perseus. NGC 869 and NGC 884 both …
The Double Cluster (also known as Caldwell 14) is the common name for the naked-eye open clusters NGC 869 andNGC 884 (often designated h Persei and χ Persei, respectively), which are close together in the constellation Perseus. NGC 869 and NGC 884 both lie at a distance of 7500 light years. NGC 869 has a mass of 3700 solar masses and NGC 884 …
This image shows the famous Bubble nebula (NGC 7635) and the nearby emission nebula SH2-157. Equipment used: TMB-92SS telescope QSI-583ws CCD camera Exposures: 18 x 15 min Ha 8 x 15 min OIII 4 x 15 min SII 6 x 10 min R,G,B 68 x 5 min L Total: 16 hours
This is my first image with my new TMB-92 telescope. I performed 90% of the processing of this image for the first time in pixinsight. I’m impressed with the capabilities of this software.
In 1995 the Hubble Space telescope wrote history by recording he image of the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula which is one of the most famous images ever made by Hubble. By then it was not known what disaster is waiting for the pillars to happen to them. An image taken by NASA’s Spitzer …
On Monday 17th of June I went to London to visit the Diamonds in the sky exhibition in London. At this exhibition artwork can be seen made by Roksana Ciurysek based partly on my images. At the Annoushka Jeweller store I had a meeting with Roksana and could I look at the images myself. I was …
Recently I was allowed to using a remote Takahashi FSQ106 in Australia to do some testing of the equipment. Using this setup with a SBIG STL11000 color ccd images were made of the Eta Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) and Omega Centauri. Eta carina: Exposure: 5x600s Omega Centauri: Exposure: 14x300s
Mosaic taken remotely with the fsq106 and sbig stl11000 one shot color ccd camera at the siding spring observatory in New South Wales, Australia. This image was taken over 3 consecutive days and consists of 4 panels. Each panel was made of 5 images of 15 minutes. So total effective exposure is 1.25 hours and …
