Have this friend who is newish to #astrophotography here in Sydney. He did 40-hour mosaic on the Vela Supernova remnant in h-alpha/[O-III] …. And holy heck it is incomprehensibly magnificent! 🔭
Those are exploded star gutz. At its heart is the Vela pulsar. 📡
Elfie is awesome and you should follow his recent immersion and obviously very good work in astrophotography.

@notjustbikes: Did I just hear you say in your video that we can get #Nebula using iDEAL? That is great! I am heading over there right away!
I'm not done with the processing of my Soul Nebula (IC 1848) data but I thought I'd share this little crop from the larger image which has strong "cosmic cliffs" vibes.

Sh 2-155, from the Sharpless catalog, also known as the Cave Nebula, is a diffuse nebula in the constellation Cepheus, within a large nebula complex containing emission, reflection and dark nebulae. Sh 2-155 is an ionized H II region with ongoing star formation activity, at an estimated distance of 2400 light-years from Earth.

Since a few days, I've got a #Nebula account, thanks to #NotJustBikes @notjustbikes (i didnt see your heads up regarding the price increase but got it as I was planning to do so for quite some time already, just in time).
Anyways, does anyone have good recommendations for other Channels to follow on Nebula? Does not have to be Urbanism-themed, I'm open for discovering new stuff & topics :)
SH 2-119 (from the Sharpless catalog of H II regions), also known as the Clamshell Nebula, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. It is fainter and not as frequently imaged as its western neighbour, the North America Nebula.
This image was captured over six nights between July 13 and August 1st. Two different dual narrow-band filters were used to capture the different wavelengths of the sulphur, hydrogen and oxygen emissions.

The Crescent Nebula (NGC6888) is a cosmic bubble about 25 light-years across, in the constellation Cygnus, blown by winds from its central massive Wolf-Rayet star (WR136).
This image was captured on July 26 & 28 under quite bad sky conditions; low transparency due to smoke from wild fires in the West combined with Moon illumination.

I played a bit with Darktable to re-frame and fine tune the colors of my recent Elephant Trunk nebula image. Is it too much? Let me know!
#astrophotography #astronomy #space #nebula #photography #darktable #foss #ic1396
The Elephant Trunk Nebula (IC 1396) in the constellation Cepheus in SHO palette.
This image was captured over three nights with an OSC (RGB) camera and two different dual narrow-band filters (Sulphur + Oxygen and Hydrogen + Oxygen emissions) allowing the SHO palette (Sulphur=Red, Hydrogen=Green and Oxygen=Blue). SHO images are usually captured with a monochrome camera and three separate narrow-band filters, one for each emission line.

A view of the extensive H II emission regions in the constellation Cygnus, just North of the star Sadr (γ Cygni), which forms the intersection of the asterism known as the Northern Cross.
At the bottom right is the NGC 6914 reflection nebula, blue halos created by the reflection of the light from blue giant stars on the surrounding interstellar dust.
The field of view is 3.2 x 2.1 degrees, with the celestial North to the left of the image.

Tried to renew my #Nebula account, but they don't accept payments from a VISA debit card and I don't have a "real" credit card, so I can't pay for it. 😢
@notjustbikes I will keep following you on YouTube, but it's not the same.
Great new video from "political influencer" 😉
@notjustbikes
Many many valid points.
Is there any other way we could save lives, help the environment, reduce injuries, improve mental health, reduce pollution, make transport cheaper, and more, for such a small amount of money and effort?

The Tarantula Zone
The Tarantula #Nebula, or 30 Doradus, is a vast star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, 180,000 light-years away. It's the most active in our Local Group and would dominate half our sky if as close as Orion Nebula. The image shows its vibrant filaments and nearby supernova SN 1987A.

Just finished watching the latest #PhilosophyTube on Nebula, and I loved @notjustbikes 's contribution.
I am only mildly disappointed that there wasn't a shot of Jason and Abigail riding a tandem in latex costumes, but I'll forgive them. :D
The concept of phantasms explains a hell of a lot of the radical right out there, and she talks about the 15-min city conspiracy theorists.
If you have #Nebula, I recommend you watch. If not, it'll be on Youtube next week.
I'm satisfied of the images I've been able to capture in 2023 despite multiple extended periods of cloud cover. This is a montage of most of those images, in no particular order.

A widefield view of the Pleiades cluster and reflection nebula (M45) at the North-West end of the constellation Taurus. The surrounding interstellar dust in is illuminated by the blue giant stars of the cluster, giving this nice fuzzy blue cloud look.
While most images of the Pleiades focus on the cluster itself, I wanted to take a wider field image to show the extent of the interstellar dust in this area, including this long arching structure to the left of the cluster in the image.

Nebula creators, what do the economics of legacy subscriptions and lifetime memberships look like to you?
My subscription is $30/yr, while current rate is $50. Yet it looks like it will renew at the $30 dollar rate. I suspect long-term subscribers have a different value calculation to you the creators/owners than short-term. And is the $300 lifetime deal really that great for you?

The heart of the Heart Nebula (IC1805) in the constellation Cassiopeia.
This is the first image from my new 150/750mm f/5 Newtonian telescope, and the first image I produce in months due mostly to bad weather and some guiding issues with the new scope (resolved with off-axis guiding).

Hey Albert Pyun fans, who played Alex's mother in the opening scenes of Nemeses 2 Nebula?

We've had four consecutive clear nights this week, a rare event! Despite being the shortest nights of the year, I managed to get a little over five hours of usable data over two nights on the western part of the Veil Nebula.
This nebula is the visible part of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant in the Cygnus constellation. Located at approximately 2400 light years from Earth, the remains of the supernova that exploded 10,000 to 20,000 years ago now span approximately 130 light years across.
Visible in this image are the Western Veil nebula aka "Witch's Broom" (NGC 6960), Pickering's Triangle as well as NGC 6974 and NGC 6979.

Here is my initial process of my SH2-124 data. 8 hours H-alpha, 7.5 hours [SII] and 10 hours [OII] mapped in the standard SHO palette. The star colours might be a bit off, I haven't checked them yet, but I'm quite pleased as how this came out considering how faint the [SII]/[OIII] channels were. Imaged with MN190 scope and Atik 383L+ mono cam from Lancashire UK #astrodon #astrophotography #nebula #sharpless #space #astronomy #astro #narrowband #photography
Hi folks, this is my official #introduction!
I'm R.B. Lemberg, a #queer, #nonbinary author of fiction and poetry set in my #lgbtqia-centric #fantasy world, Birdverse. My work has been a finalist for the #Nebula, #Worldfantasy, #Locus , #Ignyte, +other awards.
I'm an #immigrant from #Ukraine now living in KS. I'm married to the amazing @bogiperson. We have a teen, Mati :) We are all #neurodivergent!
In my daily life I'm a #linguist. I am interested in #Jewish stuff, #fountainpens and #trees.
Asked #Nebula on their subreddit if they've considered creating a Mastodon account.
