Hi all, IC 1396, also known as the Elephant Trunk Nebula, is one of the nebulas that show a great deal of detail. In this case, this is a reprocessed image, done to better show these details. You can find it at: IC 1396A. The Elephant Trunk Enjoy, Josep
Hi all, Recently, and taking advantage of the new processing tools currently available, I reprocessed this nebula. These new tools allow for an increased detail and the fine structure is better (and more reliably, seen. You can d¡find this new version (that has replaced the previous one) at: IC 410, the Tadpoles Nebula Enjoy, Josep
Hi all, An image of Mz 3, the Ant Nebula, has been uploaded. This planetary shows an intriguing structure that was studied, in 2018, by N. Clyne et al. This a very small and young planetary only visible from the Southern hemisphere. You can find the image at: Mz 3, the Ant Nebula Enjoy, Josep
Hi all, RCW 58 is an interesting mass ejection nebula located in the constellation Carina. This image, taken with a higher resolution camera is a second visit of this same object (the first one taken in 2018). You can find it at: RCW 58 revisited Enjoy! Josep
Hi all, An image of WR 134, a mass ejection nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. Wolf-Rayet stars are very massive and eject huge amounts of gas (as well as their strong stellar winds carve their surrounding gas clouds). This very deep image shows the whole circular structure of this nebula. You can find it …
Hi all, Another image today… In this case, it’s NGC 3576, the Statue of Liberty Nebula. This is the fourth image of this nebula that you can find in my web site. In this case, the image was taken in the frame of the joint project with Christian Sasse. The large telescope (24 in) as …

Hi all Usually, I don’t reprocess the images. The only exception is that, with time, it is clear to me that the initial image was incorrectly processed. This is the case of the beautiful emission-reflection nebula, IC 405. Judge for yourselves. You can find it at: IC 405. The Flaming Star Nebula Enjoy, Josep
Hi all, An image of the Prawn Nebula, IC 4628 has been uploaded. This is also the second image of this nebula that you can find in this web site. The peculiarity of this image is that the frames taken with the SII filter have been color mapped differently from its natural color, in order …
Hi all, An image of NGC 3293 has been uploaded. This image is the result of a second visit to this nebula, this time in the context of our project with Christian Sasse. You can find the image at: NGC 3293. A second visit Enjoy, Josep
