Reprocessed Supernova remnants
Since my processing technique gets better and weather doesn't give any support, I have reprocessed couple of older images. There is now star colors added and other processing is tweaked too.
Sh2-223, 224 & 225
This image is a very rare one. Two supernova remnants are visible in a same three degrees field of view.
from the emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.
Star colors are mixed from the NB channels, Red=H-a, G=O-III and B= 85%O-III + 15%H-a.
Total exposure time is about 20h with a world fastest camera optics, Canon EF 200mm f1.8 with full aperture.
A special processing technique of mine is used to process this extreme dim data:
Star colors are mixed from the NB channels, Red=H-a, G=O-III and B= 85%O-III + 15%H-a.
Original version with technical details:
Simeis 147 aka Sh2-250
My second reprocessed image is a Supernova remnant in constellation Taurus.
Original image of this very dim and large object was selected as an Astronomical Picture Of the Day, APOD, by NASA.

Happy new Year and clear skies to all!

My favorite image from last imaging season of 2010.
This closeup image of NGC 7000 is my opening image of the Autumn season 2010.

All my images from the Autumn/Summer season 2010
The year 2010 is about to end.
Here is a collection from all of my astronomical images from Summer/Autumn season 2010.
I can't do any imaging from my observatory during Summer months, due the high latitude, 65N.
I was lucky enough to have an access to a Northern Galactic groups Australian remote telescope for few months this year.
Happy new year to all readers and followers!
The whole collection can be seen in my portfolio, with the technical details:

Sh2-171 reprocessed
I did reprocessed this nebula since my skills are much better now, than two years ago.
3D-studies from this object can be found from previous posts.
from the emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.
Natural color composition from the emission of ionized elements, R=80%Hydrogen+20%Sulfur, G=100%Oxygen and B=85%Oxygen+15%Hydrogen to compensate otherwise missing H-beta emission. This composition is very close to a visual spectrum.
An older version of processing and technical details can be found here:
Sh2-171 as an animated 3D
Animations are made by creating artificial parallax to an image. Then two images are animated together by using conversion web service, Start3D. There can be some artifacts in images, due the experimental nature of this work! The volumetric models are based on some known facts and an artistic impression.
Please, let the images load for few seconds to see them animated!

Sh2-234, IC417, Project finalized
from the emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.
Distance is about 10.000 light years. Image is about 30' wide and covers about 100 light years.
Ra 05 hr 28 min 05.9 sec , Dec +34 hr 25 min26 sec
This is not too commonly imaged target due the lowish surface brightness and the proximity of two eye catchers, IC 405 and IC 410. This image was one of the most difficult one to process due the very weak signal. There was some very dim O-III emission in the target, it can be seen as a Blue.
Technical details:
Processing work flow:
Image acquisition, MaxiDL v5.07.
Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack.
Deconvolution with a CCDSharp, 30 iterations, 50% mix..
Levels, curves and color combine in PS CS3.
Telescope, Meade LX200 GPS 12" @ f5
Camera, QHY9 Guiding, SXV-AO @ 4,5Hz
Image Scale, 0,75 arcseconds/pixel
Baader H-alpha 7nm 22x1200s, binned 2x2
Baader O-III 8,5nm 4x1200s, binned 3x3
S-II is taken from my older wide field image

NOTE. All the stars have been removed due the amount of artifacts. The actual nebula can be seen better now.

Sh2-234 aka IC 417, start of the new project.
Sh2-234, IC417, sometimes called as "Spider Nebula", in constellation Auriga. H-alpha 15x1200s.
Distance is about 10.000 light years. Image is about 30' wide and covers about 100 light years.
Ra 05 hr 28 min 05.9 sec , Dec +34 hr 25 min26 sec
This is not too commonly imaged target due the lowish surface brightness and the proximity of two eye catchers, IC 405 and IC 410. Sh2-234, contains a young open star cluster that ionizing the surrounding gas.
I will shoot more lights for this object later, including O-III and S-II data.
