Sh2-105 | C27
The Crescent nebula, also known as Sh2-105 and C27, is an iconic deep sky object in the constellation Cygnus. In 2018 this object was imaged, so the current image gives a good idea of the progress that has been made over time.
Caldwell 45
Caldwell 45 is a small galaxy in the constellation Boötes, art of the Virgo supercluster of galaxies. It is also known as NGC5248. This was an older dataset when processed, and calibration is not perfect, as is visible in the uneven background. But details in the galaxy have been fairly well capture.
Caldwell 6 - Cat’s Eye Nebula
Caldwell 6 is a beautiful planetary nebula in the northern skies, nicknamed Cat’s Eye Nebula. A particular challenge is to pull out enough detail from the super bright nucleus while still seeing the intricate details of the filaments in this emission nebula.
Caldwell 44 - Superman Galaxy
First light with the ZWO ASI533MM camera. The small square sensor makes it a perfect tool to capture the small but beautiful barred spiral galaxy NGC7479, also referred to as the Superman Galaxy
Caldwell 4 - Iris Nebula
An image of NGC7023, captured on three different occasions, two(!) years apart. The bright blue reflection nebula is referred to as Iris Nebula, named after the similarly blue flower. With more than 17h of exposure also the darker nebulae are visible.
Caldwell 34 - Veil Nebula
The Veil Nebula in HOO was chosen as the first object to photograph using the new RST-135E mount. This ultra-portable mount is super-easy to setup and can be used without counterweights or balancing. First light and lessons learned on a beautiful target.
Sh2-229 | C31 - Flaming Star Nebula
IC405 is an interesting combination of both a reflection and emission nebula that emits strongly in H-alpha. The double-star AE Aurigae shines brightly in the middle and illuminates vast clouds of hydrogen gas.
Caldwell 12 - Fireworks Galaxy
Face-on view of the intermediate spiral galaxy NGC9646, or Fireworks galaxy, right on the border of the constellations Cepheus and Cygnus.
Sh2-162 | C11 - Bubble Nebula
The emission nebula NGC7635, also known as Bubble Nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. The bubble is created by stellar wind from a massively hot star in the middle.
Sh2-275 | C49 - Rosette Nebula
The very large emission nebula NGC2237, also known as Rosette Nebula, is part of an even much larger area of nebulosity in the constellation Monoceros.
Sh2-105 | C27 - Crescent Nebula
The emission nebula NGC6888, also known as Crescent nebula, looks like a big brain-like structure surrounded by a lot of H-alpha emitting nebulosity.
