The mostly photographed deep space object by me is Veil nebula. I simply love this supernova remnant. Previous mosaic picture revealed that the eastern part is slightly brighter, therefore I pointed my telescope with longer focal length there and made this bi-color picture.
M33 Triangulum Galaxy
Triangulum Galaxy is our neighboring spiral galaxy in distance only 3 Million light years from the Earth. It has diameter approximately 30 light years, which means that it’s 3 times smaller than our home – Milky Way Galaxy. Last year I tried to capture some photons coming from there, but the outcome was not so great, therefore I was waiting one year and here is the outcome:
NGC7380 Wizard nebula
Wizard nebula is an open cluster associated with nebulosity. Visually, it has apparent size of the full Moon, but since it’s very far from the Earth (7200 light years), its real diameter is about 100 light years.
So, where is the wizard located? It took me a while to find him, but if you turn your head 90° counter-clockwise, you see two darker hands. It looks like he is trying to grab something. Then above the hands you see the wizard’s conical hat.
First picture is a composition of 3 narrow band pictures (Ha, OIII and SII) and composed in Hubble Space Telescope palette. Second one is more-or less visible spectrum.
