Qué locura!
La NASA ha vuelto a premiar una de mis fotografías!!😱
Os acordáis hace unos días la publicaron en sus redes? Pues hoy me han otorgado un nuevo APOD!! El mayor reconocimiento a nivel mundial que puede tener un astrofotógrafo.

Hace no mucho tiempo, pensaba que lograr uno era algo imposible, y después de conseguir el primero en el 2021, hoy alcanzo el tercero, si!! Uno cada año (2021, 2022 y 2023).
Si me dicen esto hace un tiempo, no me lo hubiera creído ni por asomo.

Esta vez le ha tocado el turno a una fotografía de exposición única hecha en Morón de la Frontera.
Por lo que me está llegando, el cielo de Morón junto con su nombre y el mío, ya está circulando por todo el mundo siendo compartida y publicada por cientos y miles de personas dándose a conocer.
Es un gran placer por mi parte, saber que ponemos en el foco internacional de la astrofotografía a otra localidad más.

Unas de las cosas que más me gustan de esta pequeña colección de APOD’s que estoy consiguiendo, es lo tan diferentes que son una foto de la otra y los lugares tan distintos en los que se realizaron las fotos.
El primer APOD, fue en 2021 con una foto del Sol y un gran conjunto de manchas solares sobre la Sierra del Cid de Petrer (Alicante).
El segundo, fue en 2022 con una foto de la galaxia de Andrómeda sobre las dunas del vasto desierto del Sahara, y la tercera la realicé en junio de este año, a las afueras de Morón de la Frontera (Sevilla), en el momento álgido de la conjunción de la Luna y Júpiter.
Siempre busco hacer trabajos diferentes y no parecer repetitivo, hay momentos que cuesta encontrar esa diferencia y otras veces me pregunto si así lo estoy haciendo.
Esto me recuerda, o al menos me hace pensar, que si.

Después de todo este tostón, si habéis llegado leyendo hasta aquí, quiero agradeceros todo el apoyo que recibo en cada una de mis publicaciones. Por mi parte, intentaré seguir el mismo rumbo trabajando como hasta ahora para que podáis disfrutar de ello, pero sobretodo, que conozcáis mejor nuestro cielo.

Recordad: No importa que pienses en grande y que sueñes tan lejos como lo están las estrellas, si tú crees en ello, nada más importa.
Un abrazo a todos!!!

Whirlpool Galaxie / Whirlpool Galaxy (M51)

🇩🇪 Der heutige Post der Whirlpool Galaxie zeigt den Fortschritt den ich in einem Zeitraum von 2 Jahren gemacht habe 😊
Damals habe ich die Galaxie natürlich mit einem anderen Equipment aufgenommen, einer spiegellosen Kamera, einem leichten Telezoom und einem Startracker. Das damalige Ergebnis könnt ihr am letzten Bild sehen.
Für das neue Bild habe ich meinen Fotonewton, eine gekühlte Astrokamera und eine große Montierung verwendet.
Was die Bearbeitung betrifft durfte ich in den zwei Jahren auch ganz viel dazu lernen.
Es ist ein gutes Gefühl, am Ende des Tages ein Bild vor sich zu haben, das einem gefällt, vor allem wenn man viele Stunden an Belichtung und Nachbearbeitung investiert hat 😊

🇬🇧 Today‘s picture of the Whirlpool Galaxy shows my progress within the past 2 years of astrophotography 😊
When I took the first picture 2 years ago, obviously I used smaller equipment, in this case a mirrorless camera with a Telezoom, mounted on a small star tracker. The outcome of it you can see on the last image.
For my new image I used my Photonewtonian, a cooled astrocamera and a bigger equatorial mount.
I’m really thankful as well, that I was able to improve my processing skills a lot in the past two years.
It‘s an awesome feeling to sit in front of a space image you took by yourself and to be satisfied and happy with it, especially when you‘ve put lots of hours of work into it 😊

The hydrogen alpha emissions of the Milky Way stretching across the sky of the Peak District.

I love the bright red colour of these emissions, can’t get enough of milkyway Pano’s at the minute !

I might have to print this one….

The Croc’s Eye Galaxy

Messier 94 (also known as NGC 4736) is a spiral galaxy in the mid-northern constellation Canes Venatici about 17 million light years from Earth. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781, and catalogued by Charles Messier two days later. Although some references describe M94 as a barred spiral galaxy, the "bar" structure appears to be more oval-shaped. The galaxy has two ring structures.

M94 is one of the brightest galaxies within the M94 Group, a group of galaxies that contains between 16 and 24 galaxies. This group is one of many that lie within the Virgo Supercluster (i.e. the Local Supercluster). Although a large number of galaxies may be associated with M94, only a few galaxies near M94 appear to form a gravitationally bound system. Most of the other nearby galaxies appear to be moving with the expansion of the universe.

Imaged with Astrodon LRGB filters.

First Quarter Mineral Moon ✨

Last year, around this time I shared an image of the "Last Quarter Mineral Moon" and said that it was my most detailed shot of the Moon, but this ones definitely a bit better than that in terms of details.

Here's the first quarter mineral moon, captured this in the month of February, wanted to post it today because, exactly a year ago, quite a few things changed! What an amazing and crazy year it has been!

Using the same Mosaic Technique, for this image, I captured more than 38,000 frames in different Jigsaw pieces over the entire Moon's Surface. I used two different cameras, ZWO ASI183MC & ASI462.
The higher details were captured with the ASI462. Processing this image took more than 3 days, both my PC & Laptop are done with me. This image is around 150 megapixels! (The previous one was only about 52Megapixels.)

▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

Equipment Details :
Telescope : Celestron C11 EdgeHD

Mount : Skywatcher EQ6R PRO.

Cameras : ZWO ASI462 & ZWO ASI 183MC.

Softwares : Sharpcap 4.0, AutoStakkert3, Registax, IMPPG, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom & Snapseed.

Captured with my friends @deepsky_wonders @anirudh.astro
▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

Lastly, I want to thank each and everyone of you for all the love and support for the past year! I hope you all enjoy my work. 😁✨

Dm for high resolution files & prints.
