  1. NGC 5731 - Home of Supernova Type II 2020 tlf - Where Astronomer's Observer Real-time Type II supernova Detonation.

    This was an attempt to capture the galaxy NGC 5731, where astronomers captured a type II supernova explosion in real-time. Supernova 2020tlf in the galaxy NGC 5731, located in the constellation Bootes, at 120 million light-years away.

    Bias and Flat calibrated frames were added and quite honestly, don't think they were needed because of the sensor on the ASI2600mm Pro camera, but there were added.

    I like to attempt this again with my 308mm RC telescope, to try and gain more image details, but in Bortle 6 skies, not sure that is possible.

  4. NGC 4490, there are some unwanted noise in the image. The ASI2600 mm Pro, quite honestly doesn't require dark, bias or flat frames. Tested with calibrated and the work came out worst than the image presented. The process software used was Astro Pixel Processor. I'm still learning Pix Insight, though some of the work flow in Pix Insight, I'm not impressed. It's probably my lack of skillset. Will keep experimenting unitl I can at least create better monochrome images and then add in LRGB filters. The image was captured using OIII, SIII, HA filters.

  5. My new ASI2600mm Pro camera, attached to the ZWO, seven position filter wheel (EFW). I have LRGB, HA, HBeta, OIII filters and a spare SII CDD filter. I've looked at the 8 position ZWO, EFW but they only come in 1.25"

  6. Exposure time was to short, 55 minutes and a OII or HA narrow band filter was not used. Also light pollution in the image was very prevelant. This is work in progress, will give another try using a Starlight Xpress CCD camera and  a ZWO 7 position filter wheel.

  7. The image of NGC 1499 was captured using a Triad-ultra narrowband filter, and a CMOS color camera with a 6.5” refractor telescope, Sky-Watcher EQ mount, and plate solving for polar alignment.

    The California Nebula is in the constellation Perseus and is classified as an emission nebula. The image exposure time was 180 minutes, at a temperature of -28 Celsius.

  8. The image of NGC 1499 was captured using 71 minutes of exposure time with an ASI2600 CMOS color camera and 6.5" Explore Scientific ED 165mm APO Triplet airspaced refractor and Radian Triad Ultra Narrowband 2" filter.  Camera temperature was -24.1 Celsius.
