M57
M57, or the Ring Nebula, is a small planetary nebula in the constellation Lyra. Usually, only the core is captured in images, but this photo also shows the outer hydrogen (Ha) and oxygen (OIII) gas clouds. The difference is significant, so two different HDR methods were needed to achieve this result.
M27 - Dumbbell Nebula
M27 is a very bright planetary nebula, of which often only the core is shown. In this case, the outer and much fainter areas are made visible as well in this HOO image, using a new HDR script.
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.
M97 - Owl Nebula
M97, or the Owl Nebula, is a small planetary nebula in the constellation Ursa Major. Using Halpha and OIII narrowband filters enabled imaging while the moon was out at almost 100%.
M1 | Sh2-244 - Crab Nebula
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus. Imaged here in a Hubble Palette. This is the first image using BlurXTerminator for deconvolution, which is nothing short of a revolution in PixInsight image processing.
