Image Description and Details : NGC 1514 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Taurus. It is also known as the Crystal Ball Nebula. It is 1520 light years from Earth. The nebula originated from a binary star system with the designation HD 281679 from the Henry Draper Catalogue. The bright, visible component is a giant star, while the nebula-generating companion is now a hot, sub-luminous O-type star. The two have one of the longest known orbits for any planetary nebula, with a period of about 9 years.
Captured on my remote observatory in Spain.

Image Description and Details : The Crab Nebula (catalogue designations M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant in the constellation of Taurus. Corresponding to a bright supernova recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054, the nebula was observed later by English astronomer John Bevis in 1731. The nebula was the first astronomical object identified with a historical supernova explosion.

At an apparent magnitude of 8.4, comparable to that of Saturn's moon Titan, it is not visible to the naked eye but can be made out using binoculars under favourable conditions. The nebula lies in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, at a distance of about 6,500 ly from Earth. It has a diameter of 11 ly.

At the center of the nebula lies the Crab Pulsar, a neutron star 28–30 kilometres across with a spin rate of 30.2 times per second, which emits pulses of radiation from gamma rays to radio waves.

Image Description and Details : This is easily one of my most ambitious astrophotography projects to date. Given that I’m fairly limited by my dslr in terms of imaging very dim objects, I decided to dump as much time on Orion as possible to see how much dust and gas in the region I could reveal. I was struck by how much wispy H-alpha gas didn’t line up exactly with the dust in the region – it was very cool to see the differences in ionized and non-ionized gas.

Image Description and Details : Gassendi, an amazing crater.
Normally, when we start astrophotography, our first target is the Moon. Our old Lua is generous because it works well even on the most modest instruments. A simple 60mm scope and a cell phone already allow for interesting photos.
But shooting the moon in high resolution requires good apertures, proper collimation and a dedicated camera, and it can be difficult work if the photo is close to the terminator.
But, in fact, it is the photos close to the terminator that reveal the good lunar photographers, as they require adequate control of light, both at the time of capture and in subsequent processing.
In this photo we have Gassendi very close to the terminator, and with the sun at an extremely low angle, the relief of the floor stands out in a dazzling way. Its rhymes are usually very evident but with the sun low we can clearly see how irregular the floor of this remarkable crater is.
Gassendi is one of the main lunar craters, with its 114 km in diameter, it is very old formed in the Nectariam period about 3.92 billion years ago.
It is an impact crater with Fractured Interior (FFC), which was modified by volcanic action after its formation, probably huge lava flows gushed through the cracks in the floor, causing numerous stress fractures to form in its interior from the reservoirs. of lava, this made it quite shallow in relation to its diameter - just 2.8 km deep.
When observed through spectroscopic analysis, the Gassendi crater has a "behavior" very different from any other lunar crater (Mikhail 1979). High-resolution studies performed in near-infrared light (Chevrel and Pinet 1990, 1992) indicated the presence of extrusive volcanic material (that is volcanic material that flows to the surface and then crystallizes) limited to the adjacent southern part of the Gassendi floor. to the floor of the Mare Humorum.
Interpretation of the data also suggested that major extrusive volcanism may have occurred in the eastern portion of the floor, as indicated by the significant presence of pyroxene, which corresponds to visible volcanic features. The western part of the crater floor, away from the geometric continuation of the western rim of Mare Humorum, is composed of rich upland material.
The difference between the west and east sides of Gassendi with intensely fractured soil could be strongly linked to the early thermal history of Mare Humorum.
I've already taken countless photos of Gassendi, but the result of this one with the sun very low really surprised me. A pleasant surprise, which shows that each photo is unique in itself and each moment is unrecoverable if we don't know how to take advantage of it.

Image Description and Details : SH2-308 - commonly dubbed as the Dolphin-Head Nebula by astrophotographers - a HII region located near the center of the constellation Canis Major.

It is thought to have formed about 70,000 years ago by the ejection of the outer layers of the star EZ Canis Majoris.

Image Description and Details : LTNF 1 is an extremely faint and rarely-imaged highly-evolved planetary nebula in the constellation Ursa Major. It is a high-excitation nebula with an eclipsing binary star system (BE Ursae Majoris) at its centre which has resulted in its unusual morphology. It is around 5,000 light years from Earth. It is so transparent that galaxies can be seen through it. It was discovered by James Liebert, Richard Tweedy, Ralf Napiwotzki and Michael Fulbright in 1995. A joint project with Sven Eklund.
