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.

Arp78

Arp78 is one of the 'Peculiar Galaxies' from the Arp catalogue in the constellation Aries. Tidal forces from nearby galaxies pull the arms of Arp78 into the peculiar shapes as they are.

M77 | Arp37

M77 is a nice small galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It has a wide area of gaseous rings around it, most of which could be pulled out in this image, due to 20h of exposure. M77 is also listed in the Arp Catalogue, as Arp37.

Sh2-86

Sh2-86 is a rather faint nebula in the constellation Vulpecula at a distance of approximately 6000 lightyear. Especially the OIII and SII signals are very faint. But during processing they could be retrieved well. Using the Hubble Palette, the final result is rather impressive with the big pillar structures in the nebula.

M39

M39 is an open cluster in the constellation Cygnus. It consists of young bright blue stars and thanks to their characteristic positioning it is also referred to as the Pyramid cluster. Open clusters like this appear to be great targets to shoot during full moon periods.

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.

M56

M56 is a globular cluster in the constellation Lyra. Clusters are always a bit challenging when it comes to resolving the stars in the center. Careful stretching of both the Luminance and RGB images was key in creating the required resolution.

M10

M10 is a globular cluster in the constellation Ophiuchus. During processing special attention was directed towards fully resolving the stars, also in the center, while maintaining accurate colours.

Arp319

Stephan's quintet is a beautiful cluster of five galaxies, photographed by Hubble and JWST, and now here imaged as a broadband image. The main galaxy (NGC7320) is another interesting object from the Arp catalogue of peculiar objects: Arp319.

M16

M16 is also known as the Eagle Nebula, but the central part of this nebula is made even more popular by the Hubble Telescope, and is nick-named the pillars of creation. Here in a narrowband version with a total of almost 40h of exposure.

Arp188

Arp188 is one of the many distorted objects from the Atlas of Peculiar galaxies. This one is also nick-named the tadpole galaxy for obvious reasons. Here imaged in LRGB using 20h of exposure.

NGC6910

NGC6910 is a small open star cluster right in the middle of a very rich area of emissio nebulae and dark nebulae, also known as the Sadr region in the constellation Cygnus. Here the star cluster is photographed in narrowband ad processed using the Hubble palette

M4

M4 is a globular cluster in the constellation Scorpius. It is located at a distance of 50,000 light years from Earth. During processing some interesting green stars stood out which appear to be RR Lyrae variable stars, often found in clusters. The intense green colour is an artefact of the way broadband images like these are taken.

M102

M102 is a small galaxy n the constellation Draco. It is an edge on galaxy with the characteristic dust lane through the middle. It is located at a distance of 50,000 light years from Earth.

Sh2-112

Sh2-112 is a nice small, but decently bright emission nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. Here imaged in narrowband colour, using the Hubble palette (HSO). The small target is a great object for long focal length telescopes.

NGC5905, NGC5908

NGC5905 and NGC5908 are two neighbouring galaxies in the constellation Draco. They form a very nice contrast with NGC5905 being a beautiful spiral galaxy (SAb), that is visible face-on, while NGC5908 is a barred spiral galaxy (SBb) and visible edge-on view.

M61

M61 is a beautiful ‘heads on’ spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo, as part of the Virgo cluster. This particular image is shot in LRGB, but a comparison is made between LRGB and RGB processing as well.
