A strange irregular planetary nebula.

This planetary nebula is called NGC 5189.
It is in the constellation Musca, at 24 ° of the south celestial pole.
It looks like a barred spiral galaxy. This irregular shape is the result of the gravitational action of a nearby star of the exploded star. Its aparent size is 3 minutes by 2 minutes
Were 59 frames of 1 minute exposure at ISO 1600. Were processed with Deep Sky Stacker, Photoshop and Pix Insight.

IC 2944, a nebula with Bok globules

IC 2944 is an open star cluster and emission nebula. It is the birthplace of new stars. It is in the southern constellation Centaurus. This object has a magnitude of 4.5.
Can be seen bottom left Bok globules or Thackeray globules.
The IC 2944 is at 5900 light years away.
This photo is processed with 36 lights for one minute of exposure.
The camera was a Canon 450D modified. ISO 1600. A filter UHC / LPR Celestron.
The photo was processed with Deep Sky Stacker; Pix Insight, Photoshop and Gimp.
We applied 20 flats, 20 darks and 20 offsets.
This photo is a cut in the central area of ​​the original photo.

New Eta Carina Nebula

This photograph of this magnificent nebula in the constellation Carina was acquired on March 16, 2013.
It is the result of 47 frames, 20 darks, 20 flats and 20 offsets.
We used the same telescope. We used the modified Canon 450D camera and a Celestron antipollution filter.
These are pictures taken at ISO 1600 and with an exposure of 1 minute.

A new process of a picture of the Tarantula Nebula.

With photos taken on February 12, 2013 I made this rework.
This time I used the "auto white balance" in the program Deep Sky Stacker.
Also I used "star mask" for stars.
I think this is better than the last.

Carina nebula

This nebula is a wonder of the southern sky. It is four times larger than the Orion nebula.
Also called NGC 3372 or Eta Carina Nebula.
It is about 6000/10000 light years from earth. It is an emission nebula.
This photograph was taken on February 9, 2013.
Lights are 50 "exposure at ISO 1600. Taken with a Canon 450D modified with antipollution filter. The camera was mounted on the telescope Sky Watcher 200 mm aperture.
The photos were processed with Deep Sky Stacker and Photoshop.
