Two new images uploaded!
Hi all, Two new images have been uploaded. On one side, NGC 6357, an emission nebula in the constellation Scorpius. This image was taken with the 20″, but it had not yet been processed, because it had to be part of the high resolution enhancement of a wide field image that had to be taken …
A new image has been uploaded. An unusual SMC
Hi all, A new image has been uploaded. This time, it is a mosaic of the Small Magellanic Cloud (NGC 292, a well known star birth place). The novelty in this image has been the thorough use of narrowband filters (complementing the LRGB), in order to better stress the huge amount of HII clouds (signaling …

Sorry, I forgot to include the link in my previous post: NGC 7293. The Helix Nebula. Wide Field Now, yes, enjoy… Josep
A wide field image of NGC 7293 (The Helix) has been uploaded!
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, …

A new image has been uploaded! The M16-M17-M18 region mosaic
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 …
