Early January, long shadows, gentle light.

There's something soft about letting the year arrive at it's own pace ☀️

20/12

Social battery was low this week, made up for it by baking chocolate orange brownies and mince pies from scratch - is anyone feeling Christmassy yet?

My first dahlias, grown on my balcony and now brightening Dad’s house.
After the chaos, a little beauty found its way back. 🌷

A quick view of the Rosetta nebula - From Ángel López-Sánchez - https://flic.kr/p/2kLxJKy
I didn't want to miss getting a nice image of one of my all-time favourite nebulae, the Rosetta nebula, before it was too late in the season and moved into the west. This image combines 15 x 60s exposures in each color channel, using broad-band filters B (blue), G (green) and R (red). I also tried to achieve natural colours (i.e. the colours we would see with our eyes). The data were taken at 10:30pm, Sunday 15 March 2021, from Siding Spring Observatory (near Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia). I used a ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro at -20C with the ZWO 2" BGR filters, my new 7x2" ZWO filter wheel, a Skywatcher Black Diamond 80mm with an Orion x0.8 focal reducer (effective focal length 480 mm, f/6). I used the ZWO ASIAir to control the camera, filter wheel, the mount (Skywatcher AZ-EQ6) and the guiding system (ASI120MM + Orion 50mm finderscope). The data have been processed with SIRIL, then converted into TIF using Fits Liberator using a logarithmic stretch, and finally combined in Photoshop to get the colours and the final details. Darks, flats and biases were used. I usually try to get at least 30-40 frames per filter, but as I said this was a compromise to get a nice colour shot of this nebula before it set, and hence I took 15 exposures per filter, and only 60 seconds each (and the highest gain in the camera, hence the noise that can be seen when zooming in). Otherwise I would have taken ~5 minute exposures with a lower gain and 40 of them. In any case, I hope you li...
