Francesco Meschia @frank-mz.bsky.social · 27/02/2025This is NGC 3628 galaxy, also known as “the hamburger galaxy”. It sits 30 million light years away, but in the image there are also two quasars with z>2, which would place them at 10+ billion (with a “B”) light years away. 020

Francesco Meschia @frank-mz.bsky.social · 09/02/2025More re-processing (well, at least for this one I added some H-alpha data last night): the beautiful region around Alnitak, in HaRGB. 010
Francesco Meschia @frank-mz.bsky.social · 06/02/2025More re-processing of old data... a two-panel mosaic of the Pelican nebula, in RGB+H-alpha 020
Francesco Meschia @frank-mz.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Re-processing some old data with the tools and techniques acquired and learned in the last few years. This is NGC 6914, a blue reflection nebula swimming in a sea of ionized hydrogen. 020
Francesco Meschia @frank-mz.bsky.social · 30/01/2025The Angel nebula is a wonderful combination of emission, reflection, and dark nebulae found in the constellation Monoceros, next to Orion's right leg. 051
