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
M101 – NGC5457
42x600s exposures of M101 captured on the 22 and 25 May, 2023, showing super nova 2023ixf. The image has been enhanced by addition of 95x600s exposures that I took in March 2020 of M101 using a Celestron Nightscape 10100 CCD camera but with the same scope and filter.
SN2023ixf was only taken from the 2023 exposures and cloned on to the full 137x600s image, at the linear phase of the processing so that the relative brightness of the supernova compared with foreground stars remains accurate. By Dean Ashton.
Gamma Cygni by Dr Nigel Price
HOO image of Gamma Cygni nebula in Cygnus imaged over the last week in dribs and drabs. Only three hours of data finally used. But I’m really starting to enjoy this bit of the sky as there is so much to see and it is relatively bright in Halpha and OIII.
