It's over...




Many thanks to all followers and readers
Tomorrow, at 08.04., we'll be out of astronomical darkness.


Due a very northern location, 65N, we have a mandatory pause in astronomical imaging up here.
Next time we'll have real astronomical darkness, about an hour, at 06.09.
As always, I feel kind of sad, since I'm forced to give up my beloved hobby (read addiction)...


Even though I can't do any astronomical imaging up here, I'll keep publishing my experiments here in my blog!
The mandatory Summer brake gives me an opportunity to further develop my methods and fine tune my imaging hardware for the next season.

This imaging season, 2010/2011, I managed to use every single clear night,
the total number of images is not very high though, due the cloudy Winter season.

There are 19 individual images imaged from Oulu, Finland and 18 images imaged with an  Australian remote telescope (Northern Galactic Group). Remote images are imaged mainly during Summer and Spring 2010.
I hope, that I will have a possibility to use some remote instrument at this Summer season too, nothing is sure yet though.

Here is a slideshow from a collection of all my astronomical images from the season Autumn 2010/Spring 2011.
As usually, there are two versions of narrowband images, one in HST-palette and an other in "natural colors"

Generally I'm happy with results from this season. I managed to get some very rare objects imaged, like some extremely dim Planetary Nebulae and Sharpless catalog objects. Beside that, I have further developed my processing techniques. (A new version of "Tone mapping", TM v2.0, will be soon ready to publish.)


One APOD from this season too!

3D-experiments

I have done my 3D-studies from all of my images. They can be found from my portfolio in different formats. Parallel and Cross Vision stereo pairs and an Anaglyph  versions. (Required a pair of Red/Cyan eyeglasses to be seen as 3D.)

MOVIE

I made a video collection to show only the material shot from my rooftop observatory in Oulu, Finland.
