#dwarflabs — Public Fediverse posts

I've had the telescope out for the last few days before the cloud has come in. This month's target from #AstronomyGroupOfWesternAustralia is The Statue of Liberty #nebula

I went a different path with the editing because I was struck with the sheer volume of stars in the area and didn't want dampen them down. So I left most of them in and upped the colour because I thought it looked cool.

So as I mentioned earlier, the quest for my astronomy gathering this month is to get a photo of the Rosette Nebula, which is pretty good for us to shoot at home at the moment.

You saw my in progress shot with my Dwarf 3, but I haven't forgotten about my Dwarf 2, so Rob lent me his SVBONY CLS filter and I've had a bunch of sessions with it.

So here's the result, and I'm loving the rosiness of the Rosette 🙂

Of course I should call it my preferred moniker - the Unicorn Nostril. Well, look at it, it's right there at Monoceros's snout in the right place!

So the challenge from my Astronomy club for us this month is The Rosette Nebula, Caldwell 49 or NGC 2237.

This is a bit of a rough cut - I've not seen it done with an OIII SII filter before, and I'd like to add some more frames. Thanks to @rdm for lending me the filter!

@rdm insisted I post this even though it was drawn in about 10 seconds with my finger.

He likes the immediacy.

Well, I put the telescope out last night and targeted the Keyhole Nebula. Now, I don't know about you but this looks like Great A'Tuin, Sir Terry's marvelous astrochelonian, is checking on a star cluster nest of eggs.

May Sir Terry rest in peace and know that he's loved. I met him a few times, a wonderful soul he lit up a room like a gentle nebula himself!

I took advantage of the new Moon a couple days ago, and got a nice look at Centaurus A.

Quite good detail this time.

Getting all ready for #ScienceWeek

https://photos.app.goo.gl/jwEb8dbjZk2A6AzJ9 here's an album of the last ClusterFudge I did, the video about it is here https://aus.social/@leece/114744657142743643

Several new objects were added to the LCF Catalogue that night. I am particularly fond of LCF 100-O and might give it a bit more attention, possibly even tonight.

That's one of the beauties of ClusterFudging - you can find interesting stuff and go back to have a more detailed look later.

Up to 107 LCF Objects now! Here's a link to the current state of play with the LCF Catalogue as it stands.

Some of them haven't really been post processed, some have in a fairly cursory fashion, but with ClusterFudging we all know it's the quantity, not the quality when you're showing off a big ClusterFudge.
