Astrophotography and Astronomy
Caldwell 50, also known as NGC 2244, is an open star cluster located within the Rosette Nebula in the constellation Monoceros, approximately 5,219 light-years away from Earth, reaching its annual culmination at astronomical midnight at the end of December.
NGC 7243 is an open cluster located in the constellation Lacerta, approximately 2,800 light-years away from Earth. This stellar object reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight at the end of August.
Around August 25th to be more exact.
I found unused M45 data while organizing my astrophoto data. The Pleiades data is from 2021, the telescope already sold and the picture reprocessed after a single month due to a new plugin.
The Open Cluster Caldwell 16, NGC 7243 in the constellation Lacerta. The result of a short evening.
Open star clusters are always welcome targets when it is clear that the weather will not hold in the coming days, and only a limited amount of exposure time will be available.
The Fireworks Galaxy and the Open Cluster NGC6939. The result of 4 awesome evenings of integration time.
NGC 6633 is an open star cluster located in the constellation Ophiuchus, approximately 880 light-years away from Earth.
A reprocessed astrophoto with Mars and Pleiades using an Olympus legacy lens.
The new workflow shows his power also on duo-narrowband material.
The picture combines HA/OIII nebula with RGB stars.
A beautiful open star cluster. I reprocessed also this material.
