The good old Moon as a Stereo Pair
real stereo pair. There is two ways to do it. First you take two pictures from other sides of earth
at the same time and there will be some minor parallax.
Secondly the libration of the Moon can be used for that, you just have to wait a longish time to
have a same phase of the Moon but with differen libration amount.
In fact, several stereo Moon images has be done by this way.
-
In above image, there is same method used, as with my DS images, to
create a pseudo parallax between images.
-
I shot this Full Moon image at 2005, more moon images from me can be seen here:
IC1805 core as a Stereo Pair.
This complex formation is located in a core of IC1805, the "Heart Nebula".
I shot the original 2D-image at January 2008.
Image can be seen in this post:
-
Wider view shows the whole nebulosity complex.
This object can be seen in a Right at very center of the Heart shaped Nebula.

Sh2-223, 224 and 225
In HST-palette 
- -
This was the moust difficult target.
The image spans about five degrees horizontaly, there is two
old Supernova remnants in the same field of view!
Extremely low surfage brightness and large angular size makes
this trio from the Sharpless catalog a very challenging to shoot.
There is a very dense Star field. Note. the "noise" in the image is
not a noise but Stars!
I think, this is more difficult than a SH2-240.
It can be seen in my older post, here:
-
I spend three nights for H-alpha and here is the result.
I think, this must be the firs NB color composition from this target?
Least I wasn't able to find any.
-
Total exposure time for H-alpha channe is 11h.
Taken with very fast optical configuration @ f1.8.
-
Details;
-Camera, QHY9
- Optics, Canon EF 200mm f1.8 @ 1.8
- Guiding, QHY5 and PHD-guiding
- Platform, LX200 GPS 12"
- Exposures, 7x1200s with 7nm H-alpha filter and 13x2400s, 5x300s O-III Binned 4x4 and 5x300s. S-IIBinned 4x4 . Darks, Flats and Bias frames calibrated.
Total exposure time for H-alpha line is 11h!

NGC4565
An other funny Galaxy shot from the night of 23.03.
This wide field precentation, with Canon EF 200mm f1.8 @1.8, shows lots
of Space around the NGC4565.
Waste of space?
Maybe, but I think this composition gives a feel about the dimensions of the Space.
The field of view is about five degrees wide.
-
Same equipments, than in previous post.
Exposures 7x150s. -
here is my previous image of the same galaxy, taken with a longer FL instrument.
Leo Trio
Image labeled with MaximDL planetarium
A grop from the center of the image.Not a bad resolution for a 200mm lens.
A Blink animation to show just Galxies.
-
I shot this one 23.03 for optical configuration calibration purposes.
The 200mm les is not a right tool for tiny glaxies, this is a sharp one though.
-
Image turned to be kind of nice, so I post it here.
-
A Blink animation to show just Galxies.(Klick the image to see it.)
If could see this area from outside of our home Galaxy, it'll looks like a Starless one.
All the faint dots in the supressed image, are the other Galaxies!

Details;
-Camera, QHY9

- Exposures, 17x150s with IDAS-LP filter,
Darks, Flats and Bias frames calibrated.

Sh2-129 in HST palette
Sh2-129 in HST palette, S-II = Red, H-a = Green and O-III = Blue 
Sh2-129 in "natural" colors, mixed from narrowband data.
I imaged H-alpha for this at night of 24.03.
It can be seen here:
-
Last night I managed to shot S-II and O-III channels. The signal is extremely weak, but real.
I have never seen this target in HST palette and there is generally very few images of Sh2-129.
This is a large nebula, the field of view is about five degrees wide in the image.

-Camera, QHY9 - Optics, Canon EF 200mm f1.8 @ 1.8 - Guiding, QHY5 and PHD-guiding - Platform, LX200 GPS 12" - Exposures, 7x1200s with 7nm H-alpha filter, 5x300s O-III Binned 4x4 and 5x300s S-IIBinned 4x4 . Darks, Flats and Bias frames calibrated.

Cross Vision
- There is very litle information about this object. This Stereo Pair shows how I see its forms. - Viewing istructions, please, look for Right hand side menu.
Sh2-223 & 224
Two, exteremely dim, Supernova remnants in same five degrees field of view.
This target locates in Auriga.
Two hours H-alpha light for this target is way too litle.
There is some very very faint S-II component and maybe a hint of O-III.
A starless version to show the actual nebulosity.
