Abell 21, the "Medusa nebula" as an animated 3D
In this blog, there is lots of experimental material. To see my actual astroimages, please, see my Portfolio: http://astroanarchy.zenfolio.com/
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!

This stereo pair is a kind of "preview", since I have just started this project. I'll do the final version, when ever project is finalized.

Abell 21, Sh2-274, the "Medusa Nebula", Start of the new project.
Ones again, this target is very low for me, at highest elevation in South, it was about 35 degrees and after a three hours, the altitude was only a 25 degrees.
I managed to get only one 20min frame of O-III, binned 3x3, but there was some signal, so I was able to make the "preview" image as a color one. (Red=H-a, Green=O-III and Blue=80%O-III + 20%H-a)
I'll continue with this target as soon as the weather cooperates againg.

It's a Galaxy season but since my light pollution is so bad, I'm not able to do good broad band imaging, needed for targets like Glaxies.
I made this experiment to see, if it's possible to shoot Glaxy with NB-filters, there is some Broad band luminance used, it's shot with a Hutech light pollution filter.
Kind of interesting to see, how emission areas pop up visually, there was strongish signal in H-a and S-II,
O-III was weaker but there was couple of srong O-III regions, they are seen as Blue in a HST-palette image. There was some very weak O-III signal in a largish area around the Galaxy core, it can barely seen as a Bluish hue in the both images.

Nebula in HST-palette, Red=S-II, Green=H-a and Blue=O-III
The nebula season is kind of over but up here, 65N, it's still very possible to shoot some nebulae.
The Soul nebula, IC 1848, was in western sky at elevation of 55 degrees when I started imaging, at Nine a clock. I took last images at four in a morning, at that time the elevation was about 30 degrees and it was just past the Northern moust point at a sky. Evem though I spen whole night shooting this, poor transparency, speeding clouds and, due previous, lost guidestar, I was able to use only Seven 20min. frames for this.

M1, the "Crab Nebula", finalized
Nebula in natural color. Narrowband channels are mixed to match visible spectrum. Red=80% H-alpha+20% S-II, Green=O-III and Blue=80% O-III+20% H-alpha to compensate otherwise missing H-beta.
Nebula in HST-palette, Red=S-II, Green=H-a and Blue=O-III
The Crab Nebula supernova remnant locates in constellation Taurus. The actual, bright, supernova was seen by Chinese and Arab astronomers in 1054.
Distance from Earth is about 6500 light years and diameter of the nebula is about 11 light years. Supernova remnant expands at a rate of about 1500 kilometers/second.
Last night I shot S-II channel and, for the first time, broadband luminance to show the broadband component in the nebula. There is a, 30 rounds per second spinning, massive, very magnetic, neutron star in the core of the M 1. The hot plasma strikes existing gas, causing it glow in colors across the electromagnetic spectrum. Without broadband luminance, I can show only a part of the nebulas appearance.

M1, the "Crab nebula"
Nebula in natural color, composed from two narrowband channel, O-III & H-alpha.
This is a difficult target up here in North, due the smallish angular size and the low maximum elevation.
I shot final O-III frames when target was only about 20 degreen above horizont.
Seeing was better than few nights ago but not as good as I was hoping.

NGC 2175 and Sh2-252, the "Monkey head nebula"
Nebula in natural color, composed from two narrowband channel, O-III & H-alpha.
There was some clear skys last night, so I was able to start a new project. this time my target is an open cluster, NGC 2175, it's surraunded by an emission nebula Sh2-252, it's sometimes called as a "Monkey head nebula".
NGC 2175 locates in constellation Orion. In my northern location, 65N, this target is not very high, about 40 degrees in maximum elevation. Distance from Oulu is about 6350 light years.
My original target was M1, the Crab Nebula but due the poor seeing i pick this secondary target. M1 needs a good seeing to be imaged well.
The nick name "Monkey head" is well deserved!
