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.

Arp84

Arp84 is a beautiful, but very distorted system of two interacting galaxies, NGC5395 and NGC5394. It is one of 338 objects from the Atlas of Peculiar galaxies, produced by Halton Arp

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.

NGC884, NGC869

A beautiful double cluster of NGC884 and NGC869 in the constellation Perseus. These objects are pretty bright and were already discovered by the ancient Greeks. Here captured using an OSC camera.

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.

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.

M9

As a globular cluster from the Messier catalogue, M9 is a bit of a tricky target to image at the Northern Hemisphere. From my location it never rises above 34° altitude. Some short bursts of shots were collected over several nights to create this image.

M5

Globular Clusters are dense concentrations of stars within our own Milky Way galaxy. Messier 5 is a beautiful example of how dense such a cluster can be. Here an image photographed using only RGB broadband filters.

NGC4216, NGC4206, NGC4222

The Virgo cluster allows for some great galaxies to photograph. Here NGC4216 together with its neighbouring galaxies NGC4222 and NGC4206 in an RGB exposure. The second image from the remote observatory, with more han 20h of data collected over four nights.

M95 - First Light Remote Observatory

For the first light image with the new rig from the Remote Observatory, M95 was chosen as the subject. One of the smaller galaxies that should benefit from the large focal length, dark skies and good seeing. Still some aspects to work out, but so far off to a good start.

IC59, IC63 - Gamma Cassiopeia Nebulae

A tricky target to image. The super bright star Gamma Cassiopeia, surrounded by the hydrogen-rich but faint nebulae IC59 and IC63. A combination of broadband and narrowband images allowed capturing both aspects.

Sh2-117 - Pelican Nebula

The Pelican Nebula (IC5070) is a direct neighbour of the North American Nebula (NGC7000). In this image both are photographed together, using a dual-band narrowband filter on an One-Shot-Colour camera, using a small travel rig.
