The Rosette nebula is one of the objects whose name needs no explanation. Even its color is similar to that of a rose because, as most objects of this type, it consists mainly of hydrogen. Other elements are also present, which emit light at different wavelengths, so their colors add to hydrogen’s red. My goal […]
Veil nebula-complex
This summer, I committed myself to capturing one of the most popular objects in the summer sky, a supernova remnant called the Veil Nebula as spectacularly as possible. The key to this was to put this relatively large object together from high-resolution mosaic panels. The result shown in the picture was cropped from six panels.Each […]
Centaurus A – Radio Galaxy
Centaurus A – a Rádió Galaxis My image shows grand design spiral galaxy Messier 81. At first sight it seems to be a quite plane, not well detailed galaxy lacking contrast, so I decided to photograph this subject as detailed and deep as possible. For this I made luminance layer with a small pixelled monochrome […]
Iris nebula – NGC7023
Iris nebula is en emblematic deep sky object in constellation Cepheus. It is a 6 light years wide dust cloud lit by a bright star sitting in the cloud. The nest around the star is very bright and well detailed, but the outer parts of the nebula is rather dark. It is always a challenge […]
Carina nebula
The Carina Nebula is perhaps one of the most famous deep sky objects in the Southern Hemisphere. Of course, it also topped my sighting list in 2018 when I was in Namibia. Because the area was densely covered with stars and because it consisted largely of emission nebulae, I decided to use a UHC filter. […]
