Sh2-132Cepheus’ lighting clouds An excellent tool for capturing the wonders of the universe is the so-called narrowband technique, which allows you to let only certain very narrow wavelengths of light enter the camera’s sensor, excluding light pollution. In addition to eliminating light pollution, this technique has several other benefits that have already been exploited […]
Cocoon nebula – IC5146
Selyemgubó-köd IC5146 The Cocoon Nebula (IC 5146) is a medium-bright open cluster on the border of the constellations Lacerta and Cygnus that sits in a nest of reflection and emission nebulae. Due to its young age it appears as a relatively compact, small area, its extent is only 15 light years, its age is […]
Rosette
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 […]
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 […]
