A two frame mosaic image, from Butterfly to the Crescent Nebula
I'm posting this older photo, since it hasn't been posted as an individual image before.
This is a two frame mosaic from the constellation Cygnus, showing the Butterfly and Crescent Nebulae. Image is shot at Nov. 18. 2011.
This image is part of a much large, 18-panel, mosaic of the constellation Cygnus.

An experimental 3D-study of NGC 1499, the California Nebula
This is an experimental test with a 3D-conversion of my astronomical images. Only real elements from my original image are used, there is nothing added but the volumetric information!
NOTE. This is a personal vision about shapes and volumes, based on some scientific data and an artistic impression.

Art ∩ Science = Wonder
My summer pause is still ongoing, next time we'll have an astronomical darkness at mid September, up here at 65N.
Astronomical imaging is a mixture of art, science and technique. The art part is the most important for me, even though my images are scientifically correct. I made an image to show, how I see my passion.
ART ∩ SCIENCE = WONDERS

Pelican Nebula zoom in series and the scale in a sky
I have shot many targets with several focal lengths. Due to that, I will publish some of my material as image sets, with a different field of view and level of details. The fractal nature of our universe stands out nicely in this way and it will make the orientation more easy.
Many times, it's difficult to understand the image scale of astronomical images.
Therefore I have added a "Moon circle" in the images to show the angular scale in the sky. The full Moon has an angular size of ~30 arc minutes, that's equal to ~0,5 degrees.
Be sure to click for a full size image!
Note. a circle, size of the full moon, as a scale.
A largish image, 7.5MB and 1356x5487 pixels
The North America and Pelican nebulae can be seen at upper left corner.
