In my new workflow, even the trapezium comes to light. I’ve added more color to my 2024 version of the picture.

Astrophoto: Pelican Nebula – IC 5070 – 09/22

While reprocessing all my “old” material, this is the first picture I took with my Vixen VC200L. The difference is hard to believe.

A short evening with a result, but it could use at least double the exposure time.

The new workflow shows his power also on duo-narrowband material.
The picture combines HA/OIII nebula with RGB stars.

Astrophoto: Orion Region – 02/22

Legacy Lens from the 1970th meets my new workflow in 2024. The reprocessed version of the Orion region.

Astrophoto: Horsehead Nebula – Barnard 33 – 12/21

My 2023 reprocessed version of the Horsehead Nebula data from december 2021 with duo-narrowband filter.

The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula in my 2024 reprocessed version with photons collected in september 2021.

Astrophoto: NGC 6914 – 07/21

The available data are not the best. Nevertheless, the step to use a flattener was very important for me.

Astrophoto: Monkey Head Nebula – Sharpless 252 – 03/21

Dear Monkey Head Nebula: I won!
I tried it countless times. I was never successful to get a picture out of this material. Now, almost 3 years later I got a workflow (and the software) to handle this!
