IC805
This is the central part of the Heart Nebula, taken through SW 250mm Quattro Astrograph using ASI533MC with L-Enhance filter. 51 subs of 180 secs. Guided using ASI120MC vis ASI OAG. By Frank Johns
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.
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.
