Clouds and more clouds
We have all the darkness but no clear skys.
This must be the worst location on Earth to do astro photographing!
We have about half a Year too light nights to shoot anything (location is 65N)
and top of that, winters are very cloudy.
The whole Week looks like this.

Anaglyph, Red/Cyan, Stereo images
I have converted some of my 3D Stereo Pairs to a Red/Cyan Anaglyph format.
You need Red/Cyan Eyeglasses to be able to see images right.
2D Astro images are Volumized by a method of mine.
Original 2D-images, with a technical data, can be found from this Blog.
NOTE!
This is a personal vision about forms and shapes,
based on some known facts and artistic impression.
Have Fun!

Preview color version of the Soul Nebula
This is a"preview" as colors are from older, wide field image and overall data is very thin, doe the very short exposure time.
Weather doesn't give me any support, so I place it here to see.
An older image of Heart&Soul, details can be found HERE.
IC1848, The Soul Nebula
After three weeks of clouds, last night was three hours opening in the cloud cover.
Since my Observatory locates very near from my home, I managed to shot two hours of H-alpha light.
Seeing and transparency were really bad.
I'll shoot other channels and more H-a for this when ever weather allows.
.
Processing work flow:
Image acquisition, MaxiDL v5.07.
Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack.
Deconvolution with a CCDSharp, 30 iterations.
Levels, curves in PS CS3.
-
Telescope, Meade LX200 GPS 12" @ f4.65
Camera, QHY9
Guiding, SXV-AO @ 9Hz
Exposures, 6x1200s with Baader 7nm H-alpha filter
