  1. Something a little different today.

    This is the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud, or #m24

    What it is really is a gap in the dust of The Great Rift, and looks into the next spiral arm inwards from us.

  6. Is someone using a ZWO Seestar Smart-Teleskop S30 Pro and would be able to provide me with a FITS file?
    I would like to prepare a web viewer for my blog and don't have a test file.

    Thank you

  7. I had me a little play with the mosaic function for my Astronomy Group's target of the month earlier, the Lagoon Nebula, with a bonus Trifid Nebula thrown in there as well. Only about an hour's exposure, with these bright objects.

  12. Cold and crisp, and long winter solstice time nights have made for great observation times here in #PerthWesternAustralia . So now that it's come over all cloudy and rainy it's time to do some processing.

    I have been catching a couple of snippets of things at the end of a longer project, and this is one of them. The Lagoon Nebula says hi!

    Just 55 minutes.

  17. Last night I tried something a little different.

    I got my #Dwarf2 out, and ran a couple of sessions on the #LagoonNebula ( #M8 ).

    The first was in the near-infrared, using a SVBony IR pass filter.

    The second, slightly shorter one, was in unfiltered RGB.

    Then I shifted the IR image to a green tone, and layered the two images on top of each other.

    I am rather pleased with the results. I did not use the #Dwarf3 for this, as I only have a 1.25" IR filter.

  22. So last night was our usual Friday night RPG session, this time with @leece GMing. In honour of #Mermay we are playing a bunch of #mermaid police constables in a magical Victorian London.

    While we were gaming, though, our #Dwarf3 #SmartTelescope s were beavering away at the comet #C2025r3panstarrs , which has just invaded the foot of #Orion .

    Here is the result of one of the shots. Post processing in Stellar Studio and #Snapseed .

  27. It has been a while since I've posted a #Sun #Photo .

    So here is one from today. A nice spread of sunspots, but no monsters ... Yet.

  29. 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.

  34. 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!

  39. 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!
