Galaxy NGC 613
NGC 613, barred spiral galaxy in southern constellation Sculptor.
Distance is about 65 million light years. Image is a broadband LRGB-composition.
This target has a smallish angular diameter, about 5,5' x 4,2'. I might try this one again with a better seeing, at this time seeing was about 3,5" FWHM.
The telescope:
Close up
Technical details:
16" RCOS ja Apogee U9000 camera.
LRGB combo.
9x600s for the Luminance and 1x600s / RGB-channel . Dark and Flat calibrated.
Raw data is shared by Petri Kehusmaa and J-P Metsavainio
Processing workflow:
Image acquisition, MaxiDL v4.xxx
Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack.
Deconvolution with a CCDSharp, 30 iterations.
Levels, curves and color combine in PS CS3.

A collection of astronomical movies from my images
All movies are published before in this blog. There has been very few viewers for them though, so I think reposting might be a good idea.

THE MOON
All Moon movies are made by re-projecting 2D-Moon image to a sphere. After that, the observation location can be freely selected, as long the area of interest stay on the visible area. I like this technique a lot, since the original image stays unprocessed!
Experimental Moon movies:

(There is a movie of Andromeda galaxy as well)
A movie about principle of making Moon movies from 2D-material:

The "Bug Nebula", NGC6302 as an animation
The animation is made by splitting the original 2D-image to a layers by the image content. Layers are then taken to a 3D-modeling software, "TrueSpace", and projected to a 3D-surfaces and animated to a movie file.
Stars are placed to Z-axel by apparent brightness , brighter ones are closer.
Original images and imaging details can be found here:

Images from the NG members remote Australian telescope, 06.05 - 21.07.2010
Here is a small slideshow about all the images taken with the Northern Galactic members remote telescope, 16"RCOS, in Australia between 06.05 and 21.07.2010
Image of the instrumentation can be seen HERE.
All my astronomical images, normal and some experimental 3D work, can be found from my portfolio:
