M20, the "Triffid nebula"
M20, the "Triffid Nebula" in constellation Sagittarius. Distance about 7600 light years.
Actually this is my firs image of a reflection nebula from a dark location, what a difference!
Image above is only Ten minutes exposure (Luminance channel)
Ten minutes was all I could do due the speeding clouds, I'll continue with this later.
I couldn't believe, that anything can be done from so thin data but here we go, nothing beats great instruments and a dark location!
Ones again, this is a preview image, since I don't have yet all the calibration filesa nd the exposure time is a way too short.

NGC 4945
NGC 4945 in Centaurus
Beautiful and relatively large edge-on spiral galaxy.
Distance from Earth, about 12 million light years.
Distance from Earth, about 12 million light years.
My second light for the Northern Galactic groups members telescope under the Australian dark skies.
This galaxy is not imaged too commonly, due the proximity of famous targets, Centaurus A and M86.

One more anaglyph Red/Cyan 3D Moon
You'll need Red/Cyan Eyeglasses to be able to see this movie right.
Note, if you have a Red and Green filters, you can use them! Red goes to Left eye.

Please, click movie twice to see in in YouTube
Full Moon
Animation is made by re projecting the 2D-Moon image to a 3D-sphere.
The resulting 3D-model is then animated to a two movies with some parallax difference for Stereo effect.
The Moon is now seen about 90 degrees side from what we normally are seeing from the Earth.
Original 2D-full moon image, used for this animation, can be found here:
More 3D-astronomical targets in different formats can be found here:
