From the album: Deep Sky Imaging
This is NGC3603 and NGC3576 (AKA The "Statue of Liberty" nebula), a massive H-Alpha region containing a very compact open cluster, located in the constellation "Carina" about 20,000LY away. I took this photo on multiple nights, between 6th - 31st March 2023, through a C8 SCT at f6.3 using a QHY268M astronomy camera. Imaged across multiple nights from my backyard that is under a Bortle 4 semi rural sky. The total integration time was 22 Hours and 15 minutes in Halpha, OIII and SII Narrowband, where 2 hours of that time was through RGB filters for the star colors.© Mariusz Goralski

My take on the Orion Nebula, like most, this was one of my first ever targets feels good to go back and re visit it, I will more than likely keep adding data to this over the years to come Ha - 40x300s Ha Core - 38x30s RGB - 30x120s in each filter Telescope - William Optics 80mm Super APO Camera - QHY294M Filter Wheel - QHYCFW3L (with M adapter) Filters - Baader Ha LRGB, Optolong Sii & Oiii Reducer - William Optics Adjustable Flat6A III 0.8x Guiding - QHYOAG & QHY5ii Mount - NEQ6 (Belt Mod) Software - N.I.N.A / PHD2 / Pixinsight Bortle - 4.5

This is a close up of an area in the outer part of the Large Magellanic Cloud. A deep southern sky object known as the "Dragon's Head" or the "Dragon's Face" nebula. This object was imaged during one night from my backyard which tends to have a Bortle 4-5 quality sky. Integration time was 5 hours and 10 minutes in bi-color, Hydrogen Alpha and OIII narrowband color with a C8 SCT at f6.3 with a QHY268M astronomy camera.© Mariusz Goralski

Greetings Astronomers, After imaging a wide field of the Large Magellanic cloud at 150mm FL... ... I imaged a couple of close ups of the more interesting regions of our Satellite galaxy... the Tarantula nebula and the Dragon's Face nebula. Both of these photos are imaged with the C8 at f6.3 (Hirsch focal reducer/flattener) with a QHY268M. The first image was a SHO narrowband image of the Tarantula Nebula region, total integration time 12 hours and 35 minutes. The second image was a result of not being anywhere happy to the "flat" field quality I am getting with the FR... the stars at the edges are ugly and I have to crop a lot of the frame to have a sort of acceptable result... but even than the field curvature is obvious. When I try to research the reason, I find explanations like that the FR light path is too narrow for a true flat field with a APS-C sensor size, even when my back focus is set at around the (recommended) 105mm distance (testing the sensor further and closer didn't help)... using 1.25" filters probably isn't helping either... but I wanted to try and exhaust all possibilities before giving up... but also was not keen on losing any of the few and far between clear nights for this so I accepted that cropping it will remain for a while. A long story/short is that I had a clear night but of particularly poor seeing, so imaging was not going to result in any quality images and so that night was spent on setting up the FR in a "out of the box" kind of thinking... and on that nights 180 second test subs, the (bloated) stars were round all of the way to the edges... but thats a story for another post in the "equipment" section. I imaged the "Dragon's Face" region during the next clear night of decent seeing in HOO, total integration time of 5 hours and 10 minutes, and the stars were indeed closer to a flat field than previously, although there is still room for improvement... vignetting still has to be dealt with as flat frames don't completely remove it but the stars are still a lot better. Sorry for the novel, thanks for looking and clear skies, Mariusz

Hi All, As time goes on, with hectic life and a combination of (what seems like) strategically placed full moon and clouds in the sky, I find myself with less and less time to spend on the hobby... imaging is mostly automatic with my now remote accessible and controllable backyard observatory, but I still find that I'm rushing my latest images... in exposure time and processing... Either way, I had a little bit of imaging time so I decided to hit 3 objects in one clear full night... and repeat exposing the three objects through various (but the same filters) in one night... This is the famous "Flame" Nebula - NGC2024, seen in almost every Horsehead nebula image and is an emission nebula in the constellation "Orion", located about 1350 LY away. This image was a side project after the two galaxies I was imaging on the same dates (NGC1512 & NGC1232 still waiting to be processed) have drifted out of line of sight. This image would have been perfect for such a short exposure time at this focal ration if not for the corrector plate reflections caused by the bright star, "Alnitak". This image was exposed across multiple nights between 14 and 31 December 2021 for the Luminance, Red, Green and Blue channels for a total exposure time of only 3 hours and 45 minutes. Image taken through a Celestron 8" SCT at f10 (2032mm focal length) using a QHY268M astronomy camera on a CGEM mount. Clear Skies, MG

The Helix Nebula (NGC 7293), also known as the "Eye of God" is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Aquarius. One of the closest planetary nebulae to Earth being 655 light years distant. This image was exposed through a 8" SCT at 1280mm focal length (f6.3) using a QHY268M astro camera, tracked and autoguided on a Hypertuned CGEM mount. The total exposure time spent on this image was 19 hours and 5 minutes worth of H-Alpha, OIII, SII and H-Beta subs. This image is mostly based on the HOO color palette but as a bit of difference and an experiment, I mixed in SII to the red channel and H-Beta to the blue channel before color balancing the image to the photo shown.© Mariusz Goralski

This is my first image created using my new camera. This is NGC3603 and NGC3576 (AKA The "Statue of Liberty" nebula), a massive H-Alpha region containing a very compact open cluster, located in the constellation "Carina" about 20,000LY away. I took this photo on multiple nights, between 7th - 17th May 2021. Imaged using a QHY268M attached to a 80mm f6.25 refractor on a equatorial mount. Total exposure time was 25 Hours and 35 minutes using 7nm HII, OIII and SII Narrowband filters... imaged from a bortle 4-5 semi rural sky. HII: 3x600s, 12x900s & 8x1200s subs OIII: 18x900s & 11x1800s subs SII: 21x900s, 2x1200s & 7x1800s @ HCG:62© Mariusz Goralski

The Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) also known as the Grand Nebula, Great Nebula in Carina, or Eta Carinae Nebula, is a large complex area of bright and dark nebulosity in the constellation Carina. The nebula lies at an estimated distance between 6,500 and 10,000 light-years from Earth. This image was taken from my backyard in Bortle 4-5 skies through a 80mm refractor at F6.25 (500mm focal length) with a QHY268M camera through 7nm H-Alpha, SII and OIII filters. Total exposure time was 5 hour and 50 minutes. Subs captured were HII: 12x600s OIII: 2x600s & 4x900s SII: 10x900s @ HCG:62 on 18th May 2021.© Mariusz Goralski

NGC 6357 is about 5500 light years away in the constellation Scorpius near the better known NGC 6334, AKA the "Cat's Paw" or "Bear Paw" nebula. This nebula was also given the name War and Peace Nebula because of its appearance in infrared images, the bright western part resembles a dove and the eastern part looks like a skull. This photo was taken through a Celestron C8 8" SCT at f6.3 (1280mm focal length), tracked on the CGEM and exposed using a full spectrum modded and cooled Canon 40D DSLR. Total exposure time through the SII, HAlpha and OIII filters was 40 hours.© Mariusz Goralski

This is a close up of IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, with the Bok Globules visible in the upper third of the frame. IC2944 is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus, near the star λ Centauri. This image was exposed using a Cooled and full spectrum astro modded DSLR through a 8" SCT at it's native 2032mm (f10) focal length. The total exposure time was 8 hours and 25 minutes, through a UV/IR filter to capture natural colour data.© Mariusz Goralski
