Hello,

the Pleiades are one of my favourite objects, but they are not easy to image because of the faint blue nebulas and the very bright stars. Imaged with the Moravian G3-16200 at my 12″ f/4 Newtonian. L:R:G:B=240:200:200:200 minutes. Subexposures were 10 minutes for LRGB.

Hello,

here is the great wall, part of the famous North America Nebula, NGC 7000. Imaged with the Moravian G3-16200 at my 12″ f/4 Newtonian. L:R:G:B:HA:OIII:SII=110:60:60:60: 300:360:270 minutes. Subexposures were 30 minutes for  HA OIII SII and 5 minutes for LRGB.

Hello,

here is the Propeller Nebula. Imaged with the Moravian G2-8300 at my 12″ f/4 Newtonian. L:R:G:B:HA:OIII:SII=280:90:90:90: 280:280:280 minutes. Subexposures were 10 minutes for L HA OIII SII and 5 minutes for RGB.

Hello,

here is the Flaming Star Nebula. Imaged in with the Moravian G2-8300 at my Takahashi FS 60 @ f=264mm with the original reducer. R:G:B:HA=:60:60:60:260 minutes. Subexposures were 5 minutes for all RGB, 10 minutes HA.

Hello,

here are heart and soul. Imaged in with the Moravian G2-8300 at my Takahashi FS 60 @ f=264mm with the original reducer. L:R:G:B:HA:OIII=220:60:60:60:360:80 minutes. Subexposures were 5 minutes for all RGB, 10 minutes for L, HA  and OIII.

Hello,

here is another image of the great Orion nebula. Imaged in with the Moravian G2-8300 at my Takahashi FS 60 @ f=264mm with the original reducer. L:R:G:B:HA=240:60:60:60:200 minutes. Subexposures were 5 minutes for all RGB, 10 minutes for L and HA .

The core is from an older image with my 12″ f/4 Newtonian.

Hello,

Simeis 147 is a supernova remanent I wanted to image since a few years. But this beautiful nebula is is a very large object, more than 6x the full moon. So I had to wait for the right telescope. I found the Takahashi FS60 and so I can show you Simeis 147 (or SH2-240) today.

Imaged in with the Moravian G2-8300 at my Takahashi FS 60 @ f=264mm with the original reducer. L:R:G:B:HA:OIII=120:60:60:60:710:480 minutes. Subexposures were 5 minutes for all LRGB, 10 minutes for HA and 30 minutes for OIII. Total exposure time was 25 hours.

Enjoy Simeis 147

Hello,

in November 1965 “The Mamas and the Papas” published their famous song “California Dreamin”. Exactly 50 years later I had the chance to image the California Nebula and publish my image of the California Nebula in memory of “California Dreamin” and “The Mamas and the Papas”.

Imaged in with the Moravian G2-8300 at my Takahashi FS 60 @ f=264mm with the original reducer. L:R:G:B:HA:OIII=160:120:120:120:450:240 minutes. Subexposures were 10 minutes for all frames. Total exposure time was 20 hours.

Enjoy California
