Hello all, This is my latest image of the Eagle nebula (M16/NGC6611) in the constellation Serpens, this time imaged through narrowband filters using my 8" Celectron SCT, at F10 - 2032mm focal length, with my astromodded and active cooled Canon 40D DSLR. The second image is a cropped and rotated version to emphasize the famous "Pillars of Creation" part of the nebula, made popular by the HST image of the same name. The color channels are SII, HAlpha and OIII as RGB, and color balanced to remove the heavy green color cast created by the strong Hydrogen Alpha signal.

Hello All, Sharing with you my natural color image of the Eagle nebula. This project is a WIP as I'm working on exposing narrowband to emulate the Hubble image of the Pillars of creation, but I assembled the 2 hours of 15, 30, 60, 120 and 180 second subs which I exposed through the UV/IR filter for the natural color stars to use in the narrowband image. This has been exposed through a Celestron 8" SCT at F10 with my modded and cooled Canon 40D, tracked on a CGEM and guided with PHD2. The Hardware control and subs aquisition was carried out by APT 3.63. CS MG

Imaged F10 on a 8" SCT. OIII and the SII data was very dim and I had to push it more to bring out some nebulosity in that spectrum increasing the noise... Hence the purple halos on the NB image. I'll reprocess the narrowband image and attempt to remove the purple by tightening stars in the SII and OIII channels. Image tech specs.... H-alpha: ISO400 7 x 1800s Subs 7 x 900s Subs SII: ISO800 12 x 1800s subs 4 x 2700s subs 5 x 2160s subs OIII: ISO640 4 x 1800s subs 6 x 2100s subs 5 x 1500s subs RGB: ISO400 9 x 630s subs 7 x 350s subs 10 x 150s subs Data captured across 7 nights in June and© Mariusz Goralski

Managed a bit of further processing on data captured on holiday - this field of view is something I would really struggle with at home (it's 9 degrees lower, and doesn't rise above my roof from my garden!) - a widefield of the Eagle (M16), Swan/Omega (M17) and M18, as well as a lot of HII in the surrounding areas. The HA filter helped a lot in cutting through the atmosphere - it's not fantastically high from the site we were at, and I still had to have a couple of nights at it dodging the trees. Details: QHY163M + Canon 200mm f2.8L (@f3.85) + Baader 7nm HA filter, mounted on a Losmandy

I’m trying to find indication (shareable evidence) of when the first telescopic photo of the Pillars Of Creation was produced. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here's my last one from my summer crop - it actually turned into a year-long project, I took the Ha in August 2017, the OIII in July this year and the SII in August. 10 each x900s Ha, OIII and SII, darks flats and bias, equipment as per sig, taken in southern Spain, PI processing. Just for fun, here's a side-by-side comparison of my Pillars of Creation vs Nasa's, can you guess which is which ? Ok, not much of a contest really, but then their telescope is a bit more expensive than mine is ! Quite interesting to have a close look though, there ar

This came as a bonus target, I didn't really plan to shoot it, but I took the opportunity to grab some frames before astrodark or with the DSLR or waiting for other targets So this is a mix of everything: 10x2min Ha with the ASI1600 and 130PDS on the AZ-EQ5. 11x3min Ha with the ASI1600 and Esprit80 on the AZ-EQ5. 19x5min Ha with the ASI1600 and Esprit80, 11 on the AZ-EQ5, 8 on the EQ6-R. 15x5min Oiii with the ASI1600 and Esprit80 on the AZ-EQ5. 74x90s with the DSLR and 130PDS on the AZ-EQ5. For a total of 5:34h. Crop of RGB, HOO and HOO-RGB. Which are your thou

Another try from the same night as M8, this time M16 Eagle Nebula in H-alpha, 7nm filter attached. It came out really nice I think..

Here it is, my first published image from my new kit (see sig) ! 9x600s Ha, darks flats and bias, equipment as per sig, Pixinsight. A little lacking in data this one - the very cheapest part of my kit failed me - I'd just got a new mains extender thingy, and it turned out that the socket I'd plugged the laptop into wasn't working, so half-way through the session it ran out of batteries and shut down, along with SGPro and PHD. I'd also started a little late to be honest, so it set on me early. I think I might need to wait till next year to add to thi

Hello Astronomers, I got the Topaz Labs Detail and DeNoise PS plugins and I have to say that they are great... noise is literally seek and destroyed without effecting the detail.... After playing with it for a couple of days I say that the plugins are definitely definitely worth getting. I reprocessed my M16 data from July this year and used topaz detail and denoise to try to get some more detail... I also applied the denoise filter to a JPEG image of the horsehead nebula from last year and, well I think the results speak for them selves. Clear skies, MG

Here's my latest, hope you like it ! 17x 300s lights at ISO1600, darks, flats and bias, equipment as per sig, modded DSLR at prime focus, Pixinsight processing. I actually took this back in July, but had a frustrating gap in processing when my laptop broke and had to be sent to Germany for repair - I had all the raw files backed up, but not the interim processed files nor the calibration files. There's a bit of coma still showing on this, but I think I've managed to get my spacings right now for some later runs still in my processing queue. The Eagle Nebula (M16, NGC 6611) is a young open c

Friends, here is the Eagle Nebula (some creationist at NASA has another name for parts of it), which I have processed from data I downloaded from the Liverpool Telescope site. This one is not possible to image from my latitude so I have worked on this data with good conscience. It is from their 2 meter scope on La Palma, Canary Islands. They had quite a lot of data on the Eagle, so I ended up making a four panel mosaic, downloading totally 96 subs from the following filters for each panel: Ha (3 x 60s), Bessell B (mainly blue, 3 x 90s), Bessell V (mainly green, 3 x 60s), Sloan-r (red, 3 x

More and more people are getting their data from remote obsies like the DSW, and I will probably soon be one of them. Meanwhile, the sky being as it is, I go for the free data out there. A few hours ago I posted a Bubble Nebula image I processed from the Liverpool Telescope (LT) on the Canary Islands and I am now onto LT data for the Eagle Nebula. It is a quite cumbersome process of finding and downloading the subs, aligning them and cleaning them up (this is a dirty chip and even if it is an extremely expensive 2 meter scope it adds some odd artifacts to the brighter stars). So I post what I

Hi All, Just sharing my latest image... this time it is the M16... I imaged this at F10 on my 8" SCT hoping that with the higher magnification I would get more detail in the pillars of creation... it's better then the one I've taken about 2 years ago using a f6.3 FR but it didn't come out as well as I hoped it would, the OIII and the SII data seemed to be very dim, so I had to push it more to bring out some nebulosity in that spectrum increasing the noise... I'm starting to think I'm reaching the limits of my modded 40D since my deep sky image quality seems to have stagnated... at least in nar

Hi everyone, As I setup and started imaging the Cat's Paw nebula, when I checked on the system 30 minutes later I was DISSAPONTED to find that clouds rolled in... I waited for the clouds to clear but no luck... While I was waiting for the clouds to clear before packing up I decided to reprocess my M16 data that I captured across 7 nights in June and July. Here are the reprocessed images... I'm quite happy with these seeing that the data was captured through Baader Ha, SII and OIII filters on a full spectrum modded uncooled Canon 40D, nights are quite cool tho, about the 6 degree C mark so I gu
