Hi all, A new image has been uploaded. This time, it is a section of a nearby galaxy (actually, it is a satellite of our Milky Way…), the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). It is a region very rich in emission nebulas. This image is a blend of a wide field image taken with the …

Sorry, I forgot to include the link in my previous post: NGC 7293. The Helix Nebula. Wide Field Now, yes, enjoy… Josep
Hello all! A new, wide field image of NGC 7293 (The Helix Nebula) has been uploaded. It is, like others that have been uploaded recently, a wide field image enhanced by blending in it a higher resolution image taken with the 20″ CDK. This image (like the higher resolution one) has been taken in narrowband, …

Hi all, As I said in my previous post, I have uploaded a 1×2 mosaic, wide field, of the M16-M17 emission area (it also contains M18, an open cluster). This image has been processed using more than 43 hours of exposure (not including the hours of processing…). You will find two versions, the lower resolution …

Hi all, I have uploaded two versions of M17, the Omega Nebula. The first version was taken with a 17inch telescope, and shows more detail. The second image is a wide field image of this nebula, and its core has been enhanced with the previous higher resolution image. This wide field image is the second …

Hi all, A new, wider view of Messier 16, The Eagle Nebula, has been added to the web site. It is an image taken in narrowband and enriched by blending the core region with a previous higher resolution image taken with the 20″. This image is part of a series of wide field images blended …
Hi all! A new image has been uploaded to the web site. This time, we start a new chapter as, for some time, we will be imaging with a wonderful TOA refractor 130mm f/5.7. The first region to be imaged and processed has been the Messier 8 region. This image spans nearly 3×3 degrees and …
