Sorry, now with the correct link. Hi all, An image of IC 1396A, the Elephant Trunk, has been uploaded. This is an image taken with narrowband filters and with the colors mapped to a more natural color, in order to better provide an image similar to the original nebula. You can find the image, as […]

Hi all, An image of IC 1396A, the Elephant Trunk, has been uploaded. This is an image taken with narrowband filters and with the colors mapped to a modified Hubble Palette, in order to better enhance the differences in composition of the gases present in the nebula. You can find the image, as well as […]

Hi all, Today, we have a second globular cluster, Messier 75. I took this cluster about a year ago and had this data “process pending” since. Finally, this beautiful and very compact cluster has been processed and uploaded. You can find it at: Messier 75. NGC 6864 Enjoy, Josep

Hi all, An image of the globular cluster Messier 5 (M5) has been uploaded. This is one of the 29 globulars included in Messier’s catalog. You can find it, as well as some more information, at: Messier 5. NGC 5904 Enjoy, Josep

Hi all, An image of NGC 7023, the Iris Nebula, has been uploaded. This is a broadband LRGB image (actually, some frames through an Halpha filter were also taken, but not used for the final image, because they did not seem to add anything). This is a beautiful nebula, but also a very interesting object. […]

Hi all, A new image has been uploaded. This time it is a planetary nebula, NGC 6543 (the Cat’s Eye Nebula). Believe it or not, but over 830 images have been combined to create this image. Numerous short (6, 60 and 600 seconds in Halpha, OIII and NII for the core) together with multiple longer […]

Hi all, An image of the Fleming’s Triangular Wisp has been uploaded. It is a two-pane mosaic taken with the 24 inch and with narrowband filters. You can find the image and some more info at: The Fleming’s Triangular Wisp Enjoy! Josep

Hi all, An image of the well known Messier 57 has been uploaded. This is a very deep image (over 63 hours) taken in narrowband. This has allowed to show the external, petals-like, structure. You can see it at: Messier 57. NGC 6720. The Ring Nebula Enjoy, Josep

Hi all, A fragment of the Vela Supernova Remnant has been uploaded. This region is an endless source of delicate images. You will find this one at> Vela Supernova Remnant. Detail. Enjoy, Josep

Hi all, A new version of the Statue of Liberty has been uploaded. This time, only the fragment with the “statue” has been reprocessed, mapping the color with the (unusual for me) Hubble palette. You can find it at: The Statue of Liberty. NGC 3576 Enjoy! Josep
