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.

M64 - Black Eye Galaxy

M64 is also known as the Black Eye Galaxy, because of its characteristic detailed center in an otherwise a smooth and amorphous looking galaxy. Other nicknames are ‘evil eye’ and ‘sleeping beauty’ galaxy. This was an old set of data that had still not be processed.

M106

A four year old dataset of Messier 106 that was never published yet. Now processed using all the new AI-based tools available to astrophotographers today. In a much shorter time a much better result

Sh2-252 - Monkey Head Nebula

The Monkey Head Nebula is a very nice narrowband target for when the moon is out. Located in the constellation of Orion, this is a typical winter target. While clouds interfered a lot with the imaging, over several nights about 7h of exposure could be gathered for this image.

M74 - Phantom Galaxy

M74, also known as the Phantom Galaxy, is about 32 million light-years away from Earth. The galaxy contains two clearly defined spiral arms and is therefore used as an archetypal example of a grand design spiral galaxy.

NGC7789 - Caroline’s Rose

NGC 7789 is an open cluster in Cassiopeia that was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783. She was the sister of the well known William Herschel. When looking at this object visually the loops of stars and dark lanes give the impression of a rose, that’s what gave it the nickname Caroline’s Rose.

NGC2403 - Spiral Galaxy

A beautiful spiral galaxy, also known as ‘little M33’. Photographed in sessions two years apart, but all combined into one LRGB image, enhanced with H-alpha data indicating areas of active star formation within the 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.

M44 - Beehives Cluster

One of the star clusters closest to Earth is M44, also known as the Beehives Cluster. Big red giants, white dwarfs and young bright blue stars make for a colourful scene. Plenty of additional galaxies and double stars can be discovered in this scene as well.

Sh2-155 Cave Nebula

An old 2019 dataset of Sh2-155, also known as Cave Nebula, was finally processed to this image in SHO Hubble palette. The nebula itself is only a small object in a much larger region of all sorts of emission, reflection and dark nebulosity.

Markarian’s Chain

In the middle of a crowded area of galaxies, known as the Virgo Cluster, one can find a string of Galaxies, commonly known as Markarian’s Chain. Eight galaxies, including the rather bright elliptical galaxies M84 and M86 make up this remarkable object.

M35

A nice combination of two star clusters. M35, an open cluster in the constellation Gemini. Only a few hundred stars. The second cluster is NGC2158. It is much further away and therefore looks much smaller. Its old red stars make a nice contrast with the bright blue stars of M35, creating depth.

IC1805 - Heart Nebula

A large emission nebula in the constellation of Perseus catalogued as IC1805, but mostly known as Heart Nebula, due to its characteristic shape. Processed using the Hubble palette. This is the first image taken with the ASI6200, 62MP full-frame camera.
