What happens when you point a camera and lens at the sky for effectively 45 minutes? One can easily record stunning detail in our galaxy and also see galaxies outside our own. Here you can see unreal detail in the Andromeda Galaxy, beautiful red emission nebulae, dark nebulae, and an open cluster! Quite the buffet of deep sky objects all in one field of view, and that's why I love astrophotography.

11 months after my first attempt at astrophotography I am back imaging my first target, M42. This time I tried a blend of HaRGB images taken over 8 hours and two nights.
Processed in SHO & HOO combined.
60X10sec, 40x30sec, 20x60sec and 10x120sec per channel of 12nm Ha, OIII, and SII filters.
Total integration time 3.5 hours.
I want to share my biggest project so far: Heart & Soul Nebulae!
2 panel image taken with RedCat51 paired with ASI1600 mono.
Over 34 hours of total integration time required to get this result.
I handpicked 514 frames from many others, each of them with 4 minutes exposure.
Integrated with PixInsight and post-processed with PixInsight, Photoshop and Lightroom.
Telescope: RedCat51 f/4.9

Por motivos del COVID esta nebulosa esta hecha desde casa, resido en una ciudad con mucha contaminación lumínica. La nebulosa es IC 405, también conocida como Flaming, está en la constelación de Auriga. La estrella AE Auriga en su interior hace que la nebulosa de emisión brille. Su extensión es de 5 años-luz y dista de nosotros 1.500 años-luz.
Las tomas están en banda estrecha con un filtro H-alfa.
Los datos son:
TOMAS:
H-alfa: 21 Light de 900 segundos, 21 Darks, 25 Flats y 40 Bias
TEMPERATURA: -10 GRADOS
TUBO: FSQ 106 ED
CCD: SBI G ST-8300M
MONTURA: CGEM
CCD guiar: QHY5II
LUGAR: TORREJON DE ARDOZ

This is an image of the Wizard Nebula, NGC 7380. I adapted the colours a bit to a more ‘Harry Pottery’ palette, to enhance the Wizard feel. I hope you like it.
This was shot few weeks ago from my home in the northern part of The Netherlands.

Camera: Astro modified Canon 750D, Optolong L-Enhance filter
