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:

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:

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:

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.

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 well as the high resolution camera (103 MPx) allow for a very detailed image. You can find it at:

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:

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 to better discern between the different gases that compose the nebula. This image is another result of the ongoing joint project with Christian Sasse. You can find the image and more information at:

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:

Hi all,
An image of the Propeller Nebula has been uploaded. It is a small region of the Cygnus nebular complex and, therefore, shows its general properties, like being a star-birth place. You can find the image as well as more information at:

Hi all,
Today, there is a third image being uploaded. This time, it is a beautiful one-armed barred galaxy, NGC 4725. There is several peculiarities linked to this galaxy, but one of the most interesting is that it is interacting gravitationally with another spiral (NGC 4747, not in the picture). As a result of this interaction, part of the tidal tail formed by the stars, that have been expelled from NGC 4747, have formed a Tidal Dwarf Galaxy (TDG) by themselves.
