Heart & Soul Nebula 💕 This is one of my favorite regions of the sky! Both of these targets are active stellar nurseries. The Soul nebula is also called the Baby Nebula as it resembles the shape of a baby. It’s cool how many objects look like familiar shapes! - WO SpaceCat51 - ZWO ASI2600MC Duo w/ Optolong L-eXtreme Filter - SW SA GTI Mount - 280x90s (7 hrs total) light frames, 30x90s dark frames, 50 bias frames, and 50 flat frames - Processed with Siril, Seti Astro, and Photoshop @sky_watcher_official @zwoastro @williamoptics @optolongfilter #astrophotography #nebula #deepsky #astronomy #space

Got lots of veil data and wanted to show some different editing paths there are for narrowband images. Capturing 3 different gases and mapping to Red Green Blue it makes different color palettes. The real scientific purposes is to show the separation of the different gases. #Astrophotography #VeilNebula #NGC6960 #NarrowbandImaging #starfrontobservatories

Heart Nebula (IC 1805) in SHO IC 1805, the Heart Nebula, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia, roughly 7,500 light years from us. It spans about 200 light years and is shaped by the radiation and stellar winds of the young stars in the open cluster Melotte 15 at its core. Glowing hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur gas carve out the pillars and walls that give the nebula its heart-like shape.

One of my go-to setups for a night under the stars! 🔭🌌 The William Optics RedCat 51 paired with my ZWO ASI2600MC Pro is a combination I keep coming back to for capturing the beauty of the night sky. Reliable, sharp, and always ready to chase the next target. ✨ What’s your go-to astrophotography setup? . . . . #Astrophotography #WilliamOptics #RedCat51 #ZWO #ASI2600MCPro

The Butterfly Nebula 🦋 With just under 12 hours of data, astrophotographer Jason Marriott captured this gorgeous target in stunning detail and color! ✨ This popular target in Cygnus is still hanging around in the night sky, so make the most of the remaining time to catch it before it disappears for the season! This was Jason’s first image with the William Optics UltraCat 108! Keep up with his work at @unsolicitedspacepix for more incredible views through the UltraCat and beyond. 🔭 As we head into the fall and winter months, what targets are on your imaging list? 👇 ___________ 🔭 @williamoptics UltraCat 108 📷 @zwoastro 2600MM Air camera ⚙️ @zwoastro AM5N mount 🎨 Scorpio 3nm SHO filters

The Bubble Nebula and the Lobster Claw Nebula in Cassiopeia The Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) is a shell of gas blown outward by the stellar wind of a single massive young star, about 40 times the mass of our Sun. The bubble is roughly 7 light years across and sits about 7,000 to 8,000 light years from Earth. The star isn’t in the center of the bubble, which is why one side looks brighter and denser than the other. Just next to it is the Lobster Claw Nebula (Sh2 157), a large emission nebula of glowing hydrogen whose curved shape looks like a claw reaching across the frame. Both are part of the same busy star-forming region in the Milky Way. 🔭 Telescope: @williamoptics GT81 📷 Camera: @zwoasi ASI533MC Pro 🎨 Filter: @optolong_official L’eXtreme ⚙️ Mount: @skywatcher HEQ5 ⏱️ Integration: 15 hours (300 x 180s lights) 🚫 No calibration frames ✨🌌🔭 #astrophotography #astronomy #space #nebula #universe

Nebulosa velo in HOO, mosaico di 3 pannelli. A causa del meteo per fare circa 20 ore di esposizione mi ci sono voluti tre mesi, ma direi che il risultato ne sia valsa la pena. _____________ Veil nebula in HOO, 3-panel mosaic. Due to bad weather it took me three months to get around 20 hours of total exposure time, but I think the result was worth the patience.
