Few images from 2021

[drjolo]

Year 2021 was not very good in images captured for me, however I collected a few frames that are maybe worth to share.

Wizard nebula - that is composite of RGB, Ha and Oiii data. 12 hours total made with QHY163M, Meade ACF 10" f/10 and EQ6 mount in my backyard.

Mars and Pleiades in March, 2021.  QHY247C and Samyang 135 on SW Adventurer at my backyard.

M42 area made with QHY247C, Samyang 135 and SW Adventurer in my backyard. 4 hours of exposure.

Coma cluster imaged with Meade ACF 10", QHY163M and EQ6 in my backyard. 10 hours total with L filter.

Molecular clouds in Perseus. Imaged with Samyang 135, QHY247C on SW Adventurer. At the star party in Zatom. 220 minutes total exposure.

Soul nebula fragment. Imaged with QHY163M, Meade ACF 10" on EQ6. From my backyard. 10 hours of total exposure with RGB, Ha and Oiii filters.

Thanks for watching!

Some wonderful images. Your M42 and B33 photo has made me realise that the vast majority of  horsehead/flame photos (mine included) are upside down. Something I hadn't considered till now

Great set of images.

M45 widefield and the Galaxy cluster are my favourites.

Fantastic set of images @drjolo

The molecular clouds in Perseus and the Coma cluster are stand outs for me.

Thank you for comments. I am also quite happy about that clouds in Perseus image, but that was captured under pretty dark sky, and is not possible at my home location, where I have 5mag NELM (far away from the horizon only) when the transparency is good.
