Back after a long delay. Here is NGC 1365, or the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy. This is old data, taken in 2009 by the Star Shadows Remote Observatory team at the Chile CTIO observatory. Other renditions of this data won an APOD. This is my attempt at processing it. 🔭

I bought a Seestar for my birthday. It's fun and easy to use. 🔭. The M42 image has some mild PI processing.

Cederblad 51, a beautiful emission reflection nebula in Orion. These photons were gathered in January 2023 by the SWOS team of Hanson, Forman, Parker, Mazlin at Obstech, Chile. 20 hours LRGB from a 24" Planewave with a 16803 chip. Processed by me.

RCW-104, a ring nebula structure around a Wolf-Rayet star. This is narrowband, so colors are false. Data taken by the SWOS team at Obstech Harper, Mazlin, Parker and me. Processed by me. This is one of the hardest things I've worked on, and hopefully I'll try it again in a year and it'll improve. 🔭

This is IC 5332, a face on spiral galaxy in the region of the Galactic South Pole. It's about 8 arcminutes in diameter and 30mly away. This is 32 hours of LRGB data taken by the SWOS team (Hanson, Parker, Mazlin, me) at Obstech, Chile. Processed by me. PW24"CDK with SBIG 16803 camera 🔭

VDB 123, a reflection nebula in Serpens. Data taken in Chile at Obstech by the SWOS imaging team of Parker, Hanson, Mazlin and me. My process. I chose to highlight contrast differences between dark portions of the nebula and push the saturation a tad. 🔭
