"Oh--" Seina successfully escapes from the embrace to go search for her mask. And Rosa won't impede her search, especially not with that look of determination that said 'I'm doing this, you can't stop me.' It brings some conflicting feelings. Of course, she's always happy to see the baby, but —

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...

"Seina." She whispers, the hand on the girl's forehead drifting and resting onto a shoulder. "It is alright. Truly." "I treasure those memories greatly. It warms my heart that even now, you call me by mom. No matter your mask or face, I will still love and care for you." Mom is going to mom.

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....
