Hi all!   A new image has been uploaded! This time, it concerns M20, the Trifid Nebula. There was already another image of M20 in the web site, but this one has a couple of characteristics that might improve the previous one. Firstly, it is mainly a narrowband image (compared to the usual LRGB images […]

Hi all, A new image has been uploaded! This time, another globular cluster (taken when the Moon was full and too close to the nebulae I was imaging…). This image has been taken in HDR (more info in the web site) in order to capture individual stars down to the center of the cluster. It can […]

Hi all,   The same way that I have reprocessed the previously sent M27, I have also taken care that the “Silver Dollar” galaxy, NGC 253, gets a new face. I have reprocessed the same subframes, but in a less aggressive way. The result is at: Home Enjoy, Josep  

Hi all,   A reprocessed version of M 27 (taken with the astounding Schulman Telescope, 32″) has been uploaded. This version has been reprocessed giving a higher importance to the RGB and a bit (just a bit…) less to the H alpha. The same subframes have been used and it is only a very different way […]

Hi all,   Sorry, but I forgot to include the link to the page where M16 is located. Here it goes: M 16. NGC 6611. The Eagle nebula Enjoy! Josep    

A new image, this time the Eagle nebula, M16, has been uploaded. It is a narrowband image and has been processed, as usual, in the color palette that reconstructs the visible spectrum of this nebula. A mention of and comparison with (only color-wise, not resolution-wise!!) the famous Hubble Pillars of Creation is also added. Enjoy!! […]

Hi all,   A wonderful nebula has been uploaded. NGC 3576 is an emission nebula in the constellation Carina. This image has been taken in narrowband (Ha, OIII and SII), by my telescope partner Don Goldman, whom I am thankful for allowing me to use and process this image. The processing has been, as usual, […]

Hi all,   This image breaks a tradition in the latest images I have posted: it is not a Nebula!! NGC 4833 is a globular cluster that is considered to be one of the oldest globulars in our galaxy. It is considered to be older than M 5, itself about 13 billion years old!. You […]

Hi All, An image of NGC 6188 (together with its associated open cluster, NGC 6193) has been already uploaded. This narrowband image (only Ha and OIII, no SII this time) shows extraordinary detail in the “rim” area. This nebula is usually processed in the Hubble Color Palette (HCP) rather than in natural color, but I […]

Hi all, I have just uploaded a new image. This time, NGC 3324, the Gabriela Mistral Nebula (due to the resemblance of it to the face of the Chilean Nobel Prize Laureate), an emission nebula that is part of the Eta Carinae Nebula complex. It is a narrowband image that, as usual, has been processed […]
