cleaned up the images a bit more enhanced the color and zoomed in 800x

if you can't see the details, I enhanced the image so you could distinguish them.

Wondering why I consider those items debris, they are out of focus an bit streaked, following a similar pattern as 3I/Atlas, I could be wrong. Though the overall morphology of this photo should be adequate.

#3IAtlas #3I/Atlas view from Mars:

2nd: Stretched, stars in focus, comet/coma/debris is not, they are closer to mars.

The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun which exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. At the time of the explosion, the supernova would have appeared brighter than Venus in the sky, and visible in the daytime.

#North_American_Nebula #NGC7000 24 min exposure on Aug 9th, 23:20CST 2025 near Oakland TX. Taken with an 3" APO AT80EDT ZWO ASI2600 DUO 120s exposures for 24 minutes on an AM5N mount. It was catalogued by his son John Herschel on August 21, 1829. It was listed as NGC 7000, where it is described as a "faint, most extremely large, diffuse nebulosity.” In 1890, German astro-photographer Max Wolf dubbed it the North America Nebula.

#3IATLAS #3I_Atlas through a 3" refractor. Not enough to see it at mag 19!

16 min exposure with an ASI2600 at 100 Gain through 380mm with a AT80EDT and 0.8 corrector. Aug 8, 23:00CST 2025, Oakland Texas.

Needs to be at mag 17 for it to see it, or:

- larger scope
- more time
- more gain

Great photo👌🏻

If you follow the process described in the image, your result will be better than this photo taken with Pixel Pro 9XL.
GraXpert - background extraction (AI) & Denoise Cosmic Clarity - Sharpen + Denoise SetiAstro: Background Extraction if required Floor to 0 on your processing layer PSF Convolution Deconvolution Remove Green Noise Split Nebula + stars Nebula, do a statistical stretch Star reduce stars Save 8 & 9. ​​Gimp 3.0 with 32 bit pixels (You can use other software as well) Import Nebula Duplicate Layer AutoColor Saturation 1.75 Despeckle another layer if background extraction failed & substract 90% Sharpen Import Stars Do steps 1-4 like Nebula Image Value Propagate Dark to reduce stars Copy image to Nebula with Screen Mode Export Nebula + Star Image as png or tiff Import Image to SetiAstro and do an Astrometry blind solve the image using Astap, save solved image. Import into Siril result from step 5, and do Spectrophotometric Color calibration.

3" Apo image was processed with:

GraxPert - background extraction+Denoise+stretch
Cosmic Clarity sharpen+ denoise
SetiAstro - SNR SN0, star nebula split
Gimp - Saturation, enhancements, recombine stars+ nebula, color calibration.

Siril can get there, just takes more time and a lot more fiddling.
