Iris nebula vdB 139
by Dr Nigel Price
NGC 6888 Crescent Nebula
Three nights 12th and 13th June, 1st July. 6.7 hours of data reduced through PixInsight Blink and NormalizeScaleGradient. May try less aggressive culling next time. First time trying HOO. By Barry Trudgian.
Lobster & Bubble Nebulas by Dr Nigel Price
This is the lobster nebula with the bubble nebula centre (Wolf Rayet Star nebula – like the crescent). You can also faintly see CAS A supernova remnant in the top left corner as a serated blue outline which is not supposed to be possible with a 108mm of aperture but hey ho! All of these can be found in the majesty of Cassiopeia, field of view is approx. 3 by 4.5 degrees.
NGC 7822
This image was produced from data gathered over 3 part nights of acquisition after viewing, and being inspired by, the same target on a well known YouTuber’s personal website. The processing done in PixInsight benefitted from the use of Russell Croman’s tools and also through the use of Generalised Hyperbolic Stretch. It has taken me a little while to become used to GHS but the work has been worth it. I feel like I know what I am doing now with GHS. By Barry Trudgian.
NGC6205 – M13
M 13 imaged on 20th April 2024. It was on my list for a while so I decided a one night window on the weather would suit this target. Integrated in PixInsight WBPP2 with 2X drizzle. Saturation adjustments were carried out in Photoshop Camera Raw Filter as a 16 bit TIF before saving the JPEG. By Barry Trudgian
