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.

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.

Something new!
FIRST LIGHT
for Northern Galactic members telescope
My first target was a M 104, the "Sombrero galaxy"
.jpg)
I have been a member of Northern Galactic astronomical group for some time now. Recently they have opened up a possibility for members to remote operate a great astronomical instrument in Australia.
This has been a wonderful opportunity for me to use a "never-ever-have-enough-money-for-it" instrument and secondly this is my first ever possibility to shoot from a dark location!
Technical details for M104 image:
Instrument information in an image.
Exposures
25x300s for the Luminance and 4x300s / RGB-channel
Only Dark frame calibrated, since Flats are not ready yet.
For me, it's very confusing to shoot from the Southern hemisphere, since the sky is rotating to wrong direction! Targets, and Sun, rice from West and go down to East. Beside that, constellations are new to me.
I'm all thrilled!
Special thanks to Bert Candusio for making this possible for me!
