M33 - Triangulum Galaxy, 12/18/2025
Finally, a break in the clouds to catch me a new project. And what a beauty she is: the Triangulum Galaxy @ 3 mio ly distance she is our neighbour in the local group.

M51 - The Whirlpool Galaxy
First attempt on this "little" gem with 1h in RGB and 1h in dual narrowband to add some H-alpha and OIII.

Kicking off galaxy season with M81 Bode's Galaxy (right) and M82 Cigar Galaxy (left). Light that travelled 12 million light years to be caught on a 1 inch sensor. What are the odds?

The Seagull Nebula - IC2711
Beautifull region of nebulosity in Monoceros, 3650 ly away. Four hours of data collected a week ago with my 72mm refractor and a dual narrowband filter.

I know I'm late to the party but here is my Christmas Tree Cluster. A little more than 3 hours of light collected over the last few nights with dual narrowband filter.

The Rosette Nebula from last night. Got creative while processing OSC dual narrowband Ha & OIII and tried out some variations for composition with Pixel Math in Siril. This one is made with:
R: 1.7*H-O
G: ((H)^~(H))*H+~((H)^~(H))*O
B: O

Function in G aka Power of Inverted Pixels.

I keep coming back to the moon to discover ever more detail. Taken on 02/05/25 with a 4" Maksutov as a 2 tile mosaic, 2x upscaled with PSS. Original is 38MP, my best shot yet 🌔.

My 2nd narrowband project: the Tadpole Nebula #ic410. Thin high clouds took away a lot of the signal. But processed the data anyway, twice, for the fun of it.

This is my take on the heart nebula #ic1805 with the fishhead #ic1795 in top right.

First light with player one ares-c pro (imx533) and dual narrowband filter sv220.

Clear skies!
