NGC 6946 — the Fireworks Galaxy Just over 8 hours of LRGB + Hα with the EdgeHD 8" and ASI2600MM Duo. The Hα really helps bring out the galaxy’s star-forming regions. Full resolution & details on AstroBin: app.astrobin.com/i/angji4 #Astrophotography #NGC6946 #galaxy #space

M57 — The Ring Nebula Almost 30 hours of LRGB + SHO data with the Celestron EdgeHD 8". I experimented quite a bit with blending the broadband and narrowband data and playing with the colours. A little funky, but I like where it ended up! #Astrophotography #M57 #RingNebula

M101. 19h 28m of LRGB + Hα captured with the Celestron EdgeHD 8" at its native focal length. Taken from my Bortle 7 backyard through less-than-ideal summer seeing and processed in PixInsight. I'm happy with how this one turned out. app.astrobin.com/i/4q7pg7 #Astrophotography #Astronomy #PixInsight

🦉 M97 – The Owl Nebula. My first planetary nebula and my first LRGB + Hα/OIII workflow. 13h 20m captured from my Bortle 7 backyard in Munich with the EdgeHD 8". Lots learned on this one. 🔗 app.astrobin.com/i/c0kv62 #Astrophotography #Astronomy #Pixinsight #PlanetaryNebula

How did science fiction use the Horsehead Nebula? By the 1950s and 1960s, it was more than an astronomical object: Asimov used it as a joke, McCaffrey as a measure of loneliness and distance. youtube.com/shorts/nWeGG... #astronomy #scifi #sciencefiction #literature #culture

New episode of Processing the Sky is out. This one is about the Horsehead Nebula, but also Williamina Fleming, Harvard’s glass plates, dark nebulae, pareidolia, and how astronomical images become icons. youtu.be/lK27Uhc7-Mw?... #astronomy #space #astrophotography #astroedu #astrohistory

Why does the California Nebula glow? Because of a star called Menkib — from the Arabic al-Mankib, “the shoulder.” #astronomy #space #astrophotography #astroedu #astrohistory #astrosci More videos: www.youtube.com/@Processingt...

Edward Emerson Barnard first reported this faint object in 1885 after noticing something unusual near Xi Persei. Today we know it as the California Nebula (NGC 1499). #astronomy #astrophotography #space #history #videoessay #deepsky #nebula #science #shorts #pixinsight youtube.com/shorts/fxg10...
