IC 5070 |
|
The Pelican Nebula (also known as IC 5070 & IC 5067) is an emission nebula, a star-forming region (H II region) of roughly 30 light-years across, located about 1,800 light-years from Earth, northeast of the bright star Deneb in the constellation of Cygnus (the Swan). It bears a resemblance to a pelican, hence its name.
This cosmic pelican is just off the east “coast” of its more prominent neighbor, the North America Nebula (NGC 7000), and is divided from it by a thin molecular cloud filled with dark dust, known as L935. Both, the Pelican Nebula and North American nebula are part of a massive H II emission region designated as W80

NGC 896
The Heart Nebula NGC 896 is an emission nebula in Cassiopeia. This is a close-up my first RGB image using QHY268C - first light on the imaging camera. I started using APP as the integration and alignment, Its a wonderful software and the final result is as good as Pixinsight. The processing was totally done in Pixinsight (LRGB)finally the star spikes using Photoshop

M51 Galaxy
This latest images to the previous one that I did back in 2016 has a major different in the Telescope and CCD camera I used.
Explaining a bit more about M51, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy, is a grand design spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Canes Venatici. It's one of the most famous galaxies in the sky, appearing face-on when viewed from Earth. M51 has a much smaller dwarf companion, known as NGC 5195, and together they form the finest and most studied example of an interacting galaxy pair in the sky.
This image taken with my large telescope the Officina Stellar 10" , with large format FLI 16803 CCD. Over 25 hours of exposure.
The image has 1200sec x 20 (RGB each) , plus 1200 x 10 Darks with flats and Bias.
The Whirlpool Galaxy-NGC 5149
This Galaxy is one of the most spectacular example of a spiral galaxy. With two spiral arms into ne another in a billowing swirl. Its composed of hundred of billions star, this galaxy is about 30 million light years from Earth.
NGC2174 The Monkey Head Nebula in SHO (Sulfur, Hydrogen, and Oxygen gases)
NGC2174 is an HII emission nebula in the constellation Orion and is associated with the open star cluster NGC2175. It is estimated to be located about 6,400 light-years away from Earth.
I took this object image way back in 2017 which I have now reprocessed in Pixinsight using SHO workflow, and retouched in Photoshop using High Dynamic Range for the color mix.
