This is my latest image of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), this time in HaRGB.

It's a collaborative image with @jmoneste.bsky.social (RGB) and @dompe.space (Ha).

Chamaeleon Complex: molecular clouds in the constellation Chamaeleon, near the South Celestial Pole.

It is composed of the dense molecular clouds Chamaeleon I, II, and III, which obscure the light from stars located behind them.

Large Magellanic Cloud, combining broadband (RGB) and narrowband data (Ha y OIII).

Captured from the Atacama Desert under exceptionally dark skies, this image reveals the structure of one of our closest galactic neighbor.

Cosmic Bat Nebula (LDN 43)

In the constellation Ophiuchus, some 1,400 light-years from Earth, a giant cosmic bat seems to fly across the stars.

Large Sagittarius Star Cloud, Lagoon (M8), Trifid (M20) and Chinese Dragon (NGC6559) nebulae.
This image is centered near the Galactic Center, where there's a dense concentration of stars called Large Sagittarius Star Cloud, the brightest visible region of our galaxy.

Silver Coin Galaxy or Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253)

The Silver Coin Galaxy, also known as the Sculptor Galaxy, is one of the brightest galaxies visible in our sky. Under dark conditions, it can be spotted with binoculars.

Part of the Pipe Nebula, a dark cloud complex in Ophiuchus.

The Pipe Nebula is a vast dark nebula complex located just in front of the center of the Milky Way, in the constellation Ophiuchus.

The Veil Nebula in Cygnus, supernova remnants, in wide field.

This is what’s left of a massive star that exploded thousands of years ago. The shockwaves from that supernova still ripple through space, shaping these intricate filaments of ionized gas.

Dark Doodad Nebula and Globular Cluster NGC 4327

The Dark Doodad Nebula is a striking dark nebula located near the globular cluster NGC 4372, in the direction of the constellation Musca, the Fly, in the southern sky.

Centaurus A Galaxy (NGC 5128)

Centaurus A is a very peculiar galaxy because it emits a giant jet of energy outward at incredible speeds, making it a constant subject of study for astronomers.

One of the most striking sights in the southern sky is, without a doubt, the Magellanic Clouds—two dwarf galaxies that orbit our Milky Way. Their name comes from their diffuse appearance, visible even to the naked eye as small cloud-like patches in the night sky.

The Southern Cross constellation is one of the most iconic in the southern hemisphere, not just for its distinctive shape, but because it has historically served as a reference point for navigation and geographic orientation.

NGC 6727, the Rampaging Baboon Nebula in Corona Australis. Reflection nebula nestled within the Corona Australis molecular cloud.

Amid a sea of stars in the constellation Corona Australis lies a vast region of dusty nebulae that obscure the light from background stars.

I forgot to share this one from Feb-2005!! 😱

My First Mosaic—Rosette Nebula in the Monoceros Constellation, the Unicorn.

I had been meaning to learn how to capture and process mosaics, and I decided that the Rosette Nebula was a great candidate for this.

Tired of the rain and clouds here in the tropics, I packed two of my astrophotography equipment and headed off with my wife and a group of astrophotographer friends to the Atacama Desert in Chile for a week, one of the places with the best skies in the world.

Rho Ophiuchi

A beautiful zone surrounding the massive Antares star located in the Scorpious constellation.

Taken in Atacama using Askar V telescopes and ZWO ASI2600MC pro cameras, in collaboration with @cybertron-astrophoto.com.

The dry season has ended, and the galaxy season wasn’t particularly favorable for me due to bad weather. Nevertheless, I managed to capture some images, mainly because I started early.
This time, I photographed M95 and M96, 2 galaxies in Leo.

M109, unofficially nicknamed the Tie Fighter Galaxy by me, earned its name because its core reminded me of a Star Wars TIE Fighter. This striking barred spiral galaxy is nestled in the direction of Ursa Major, appearing near the star Phecda (γ Ursa Major).

My second image of the Jellyfish Nebula, but this time using the 130mm telescope and the ASI2600 MC Pro; I also decided to use the HOO palette for processing the image.

At the end of January, I realized that I have been doing astrophotography for about four years and, surprisingly, I don't have any beautiful broadband photo of the Orion Nebula. I only have one narrowband photo from 2023.

In January, while awaiting the rise of M81-M82, I captured images of the Fossil Footprint Nebula (NGC 1491) in Perseus. My main goal was to test the Antlia Quad-band filter's performance with emission nebulae. This image is the result of 11 hours of integration.
