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 […]

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 […]

It is relatively bright, so it quickly gives you a sense of success, but with a little more care, you can mine out dark, faint parts from the background. Its detailed, dust-striped core region also provides many opportunities, as […]
