A stunning sight (through the camera): Crescent Nebula (NGC6888) captured in narrowband (HOO). Total integration time of 13.5 hours with my ZWO ASI1600MM Pro and William Optics FLT120 + 0.8x reducer. One of our “close” neighbours”, the Triangulum Galaxy (M33). Captured ZWO ASI1600MM Pro and William Optics FLT120 + 0.8x reducer. This is a result of 7 hours integration in LRGB.Narrowband wide-field image of Elephant’s trunk nebula (IC 1396), Garnet star and others. Approximately 2,400 light years away. Shot with ZWO ASI1600MM Pro and William Optics RedCat Apo51. Total integration time: 8h 36mNarrowband image of North America Nebula (NGC 700) and Pelican Nebula (IC 5070), which takes up a relatively large portion of the night sky in the northern hemisphere. Located 2,200 lights years from Earth. Shot with ZWO ASI1600MM Pro and William Optics RedCat Apo51. Total integration time: 5h 10mNarrowband image of Heart Nebula (IC1805), which is good looking and large nebula 7,500 light years away. Combined in an approximation of the Hubble Palette. Taken with William Optics RedCat APO51 and ZWO ASI1600MM Pro. Total integration time 11h 40m.Narrowband image of California Nebula (NGC 1499) which lies 1,000 light years from Earth. Taken with William Optics RedCat APO51 and ZWO ASI1600MM Pro. Total integration time 7h 30 m.Narrowband image of Seagull Nebula (IC 2177), approx. 3,650 light years from Earth. Shot with ZWO ASI1600MM Pro and William Optics RedCat Apo51. Total integration time: 13h 30m
The Leo Triplet or Leo Trio. Three nicely “located” galaxies in the night sky. This is the result of approximately 2.6 hours of integration time using LRGB filters on my ZWO ASI1600MM Pro camera and William Optics FLT120 scope with 0.8X reducerA fantastic object, and my first really successful deep sky image: The Pleiades (M45) shot with Nikon D750 and Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 ED VR. I put a cross of guitar strings in the cap for the star effect. Total integration time 2h 54m. This open star cluster is only 444 light years away, and easily spotted with the naked eye.LRGB image of our neighbour, Andromeda Galaxy (M31), fast approaching and colliding with the Milky Way in about 4,5 billion years. Right now the galaxy is about 2,5 million light years away. Taken with William Optics RedCat APO51 and ZWO ASI1600MM Pro. Total integration time 4h 30m.Narrowband image of the mystical Veil Nebula (NGC 6975), 1,470 light years away. Taken with William Optics RedCat APO51 and ZWO ASI1600MM Pro. Total integration time 6h 40m.Narrowband image of Rosette Nebula (SH2 275). This is very nice object to work with as it is both beautiful and bright, making for one of my early “successes”, motivating me to proceed in deep sky imaging. The Rosette Nebula lies approx. 5,200 light year away. Shot with ZWO ASI1600MM Pro and William Optics RedCat Apo51. Total integration time: 16h 50mOne of my favourite objects in the night sky, The Great Nebula in Orion (M42), just 1,344 light years from my back yard. This is narrowband and LRGB images combined. Taken with William Optics RedCat APO51 and ZWO ASI1600MM Pro. Total integration time 20h 40m.An object that surprised me very positively: The Jellyfish Nebula, just under 4,900 light years from home. This is a narrowband image taken with William Optics RedCat APO51 and ZWO ASI1600MM Pro. Total integration time 8h 35m.
A mosaic of M81 and M82 – Bode’s Galaxy and Cigar Galaxy. A fantastic sight on the night sky (through a telescope). This is made from two stacks of RGB images. Taken with StellaLyra GSO 8″ RCT Carbon on ZWO ASI1600MM Pro.
