Brows raise at the sudden switch-up and apology. A smile; she brings Seina into a hug. It is very sweet to have that reassurance. She'll have no second thoughts about it, now—Seina's one of hers. "You need not apologize.."

Centaurus A Extreme Deep Field - 130 Hours - Sep 2019 - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/2hk73QH

The Deepest View Ever Obtained of Centaurus A (NGC 5128)
New improved version with 10 hours of H-Alpha, Sep 2019
In 2013 I gathered 120 hours of data on Centaurus A, and processed the deepest image ever obtained of this magnificent galaxy showing many features and structures not revealed by amateurs before.
In Feb 2014 I released an improved version of the image with higher resolution, processed using PixInsight.
Then in 2018 I again acquired further data (for what is evidently a never-ending project…), this time in the H-Alpha wavelength. This new re-processed image incorporates the H-Alpha data in order to highlight the impressive emission structures triggered by the relativistic jet from the supermassive central black hole. It also emphasises the many pink hydrogen clouds in the dark dust lane across the centre of the galaxy, and lastly I feel the image showcases the concentric shells and rich background slightly better, while keeping a reasonably subtle natural look.

About the Image
This image is the realisation of a long time dream of mine: Taking a deep sky image with more than 100 hours of exposure.
I set out on this mission in early 2013 and after having gathered 130 hours of data on 46 different nights in 2013 and 2018 I present what I believe is the deepest view ever obtained of Centaurus A. This is likely also the deepest image ever taken with amateur equipment, showing stars as faint as magnitude 25.45.
I spent around 40 hours and analysing processing the data...

She nods, taking the time to hear Seina's troubles. The wand she usually idly twirls in her hands is replaced with a wrench. "I apologize if I am being overbearing in my care for you." She looks after very young kids all the time. It's sort of her default parenting method, especially after —

Messier 20: A Deep Look at The Trifid Nebula and Surrounds - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/2ky4FU3

This deep image shows the famous Trifid nebula in Sagittarius, also known as Messier 20 or NGC 6514:
www.rolfolsenastrophotography.com/Astrophotography/Nebula...

The complex cloud displays an unusual combination of both red emission and blue reflection areas as well as numerous intricate dark patterns.
The nebula is located 9000 light years away in the direction towards the galactic centre. The entire area is sprinkled with thousands of stars and fainter dusty and nebulous areas throughout. A separate prominent dark cloud appears dramatically silhouetted against the starry background to the right.

A curious example of gas evaporation can bee seen near the core of the Trifid itself. Here a dense stalk, 8 light years from the centre, is emerging from the edge of the bubble surrounding the central cluster, and in the other direction a powerful stellar jet from a young star, HH 399 embedded in the gas, is shooting out in an upwards direction. The bright young stars in the central cluster emit strong radiation which eats away the surrounding gas and dust. The stalk only appears because a denser region lies at its very tip and protects a thin strip of the cloud from this interstellar erosion. The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged this fascinating area in high resolution. Also, the proper motion of the irradiated plasma in this jet has been measured and a paper has been published detailing these findings.

Also, throughout the nebula lies countless young T Tauri stars just h...

The slip ups are adorable. She's glad to be somebody that Seina even feels comfortable considering a mother figure—even if on accident. Headbanging, though.. not as endearing. Before Seina can make it inside, she teleports in front of the door. Still smiling, though with a hint of concern in her —

The Lagoon Nebula in Infrared light - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/egmQmU

This infrared image of the Lagoon nebula contrasts heavily with traditional images taken in visible light. Such images primarily display the striking magenta colour from glowing Hydrogen gas, as well as large dark obscuring clouds of dust.

The infrared part of the spectrum penetrates these clouds better and reveals complex details and thousands of young stars that are otherwise completely invisible. These stars shine primarily in the infrared and appear as golden red in this image. Only a minority of these are visible in traditional optical images.

To create this image I used a special infrared filter. Effectively the band observed is 700-1100nm since the sillicon CCD chip is not responsive to wavelengths longer than that, and this band is called NIR (Near Infrared). One issue arising from this technique is that the NIR band does not have a colour as such, since it lies outside the visible light spectrum.
To create a colour image from the NIR data I have developed a colour stacking technique which has produced promising results so far.
I use the NIR filter together with G and B filters to create a colour composite. The resulting images are assigned to the different channels as NIR->Luminance, NIR->Red, G->Green and B->Blue.

Substituting the R channel with NIR nicely brings out the contrast between the nebula itself and all the young obscured stars that shine primarily in infrared. This colour image is then overlaid with the NIR frame used as luminousity....

It's a sight that prompts a quiet laugh. The actual message is received, regardless of how awkwardly it was delivered. A hand would come to rest on Seina's head, giving her green hair a little ruffle. Complete role reversal from the last time she was here. "I understand. I'm truthfully —

Seina's reaction prompts a quiet laugh. Gentle, with a hand hovering over her lips and everything. "I just finished the necessary repairs to the observatory. It is why I was able to return here and pay you a visit. After working on it for so long, an offer for downtime sounds nice." —

. . . Well, it's not something she'd be 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 to. Even with wording like that. She's free to kidnap when her schedule isn't full. In fact... "I may just take you up on that offer to stay awhile."

Where Seina found embarrassment, Rosa looked back with fondness. "Acting as guardian of the cosmos is not an easy job. I am proud of my work, but... It would be a lie to say I did not have a wonderful time being free of duties." Now it was time for the woman to be the one blushing. —

The smile is reciprocated. She retrieves the little rabbit from Seina's hair. Back in her arms, he goes. "I wouldn't dream of forgetting one of my children." She really meant those words from back then, saying she'd love the girl with all her heart. Just as much as her lumas. —

Astro Pro-Am: Professional and Amateur Astronomers Join Forces - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/nhBUCh

Collaboration with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory Center
This image is the result of a collaboration between NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory Center and amateur astrophotographer Rolf Wahl Olsen.
It is part of a series of professional-amateur collaboration images and was combined by Science Imager Joseph DePasquale from Chandra X-ray Observatory Center, using both X-ray, optical and infrared data.
The image is composed of the following data:

My deep 120 hour optical image Centaurus A Extreme Deep Field taken over 43 nights in 2013.
230 hours of Chandra X-ray data gathered over the past 15 years.
Infrared data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.

The combined exposure time is in excess of an astonishing 350 hours, or two weeks; more than the Hubble Ultra Deep Field.

Below are links to the official press releases including the other spectacular images in the series (M101, M81 and M51) with optical data by German astrophotographer Detlef Hartmann:

Chandra Press Release
Spitzer Press Release
Individual images for download

If you are an amateur astrophotographer, or even just an 'armchair astronomer', and would like to get involved with astronomical research then the International Astronomical Union has an excellent page with information on how to get involved in citizen science projects or Pro-Am collaborations.
