Another galaxy in the constellation Virgo

At this time, since these latitudes, the constellation Virgo is high at midnight.
Then take the opportunity to photograph these wonders located millions of light years away.
This photograph is of the galaxy NGC 4781. It is a smaller galaxy that the Milky Way. Has light 55,000 years in diameter.
Its coordinates are RA 12h54m24s and -10 ° 31'59 ".
It has a magnitude of 11.10. It is much more tenuous than Messier 104.
Are in Group II of Virgo. Its size is 3.4 "x 1.4".
It is a barred spiral galaxy SO class.
Within its structure is a way to hook very peculiar.
He catches sight of a smaller galaxy: NGC4784 is of a size of 1.2 "x 18" and an apparent magnitude of 15.0. NGC4781 and NGC 4784 are separated by 0.1 °.
The photo was also taken with a Meade DSI Pro camera, with frames of 1 minute of exposure.

The galaxy Messier 104

This photograph was taken in 2013 april 12 with a Meade DSI Pro camera, a telescope Hokenn 200/1000 and a filter Celestron UHC / LPR. The exposure was 1 minute.
This galaxy is in the constellation Virgo. RA 12h40m00s and -11 ° 37'00 ".
At that time was 65 ° above the horizon. Its magnitude is 8.00 and its apparent size is 8.6 'x 4.2'. His name is "Hat Galaxy".
It is a type barred galaxy Sat. But is an eliptical giant galaxy.
Is 29 million light years from Earth. It is an oddly shaped galaxy. His bulky form and dark belt are rare. The center is a supermassive black hole.

NGC 3132

I share with you this picture.
I took it at midnight between yesterday and today.
It is the planetary nebula South Ring in the constellation Vela.
It's located in the sky is AR 10H 07m 35s and -40 ° 30 '16 "
It is 2000 light years from Earth. Its size is 0.5 light year.
The star at the center of the nebula is not the cause of the phenomenon but something very near invisible in this photograph.
The visible star is younger than the star emitting gas.
They can see some interesting peripheral details.
It has an apparent magnitude of 9.87 and a dimension of 84 x 53 arcsec.
It is the first relatively cool night  in our austral autumn (about 10 ° C at home). This is good for the camera.
The broader picture is smaller than the original photo. The other picture is a cut that.
I used a Canon D450 modified. ISO 1600 and 50 "exposure.
It is the result of 73 frames processed with DSS and Photoshop.
I hope you like it!

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

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.

The photos were processed with Deep Sky Stacker and Photoshop.

The Orion nebula

Also called Messier 42 or NGC 1976. I'ts in the constellation of Orion..

It is at 1270 light years from Earth. For this photo I took 184 photos of 15 "to ISO 400, with a UHF antipollution filter and a modified Canon 450D camera.
My observatory is located in a place with terrible light pollution.
Does anyone know how to eliminate the light pollution in our cities?
This photo was taken on 2012/12/12 but the process was done 2013/02/20

Old Photo - new treatment

This is a photo taken on Oct. 3, 2012. This time I processed the photo reducing the noise coming from the artificial light of the city.
This is the Lagoon Nebula.
This nebula is also called Messier 8. It is located in the constellation Sagittarius, about 5,000 light years.

A photograph of the satellites of Uranus.

This photo was taken with a Hokenn  200/1000 telescope. The camera was a Meade DSI Pro. I used the Envisage program. Do not use with the "planets" function. Use the "Deep Sky" function to see the satellites of the planet. They see the original photo, a photo cutout, a map taken from Stellarium program and a photo with arrows showing the satellites of the original photo.

Open cluster in Eta Carinae

It is an emission nebula located in the constellation of Sagittarius. It is at a distance of 5,000 light years.

Hello! He spent a long time since the last photo. This happened because I had personal problems. Today I upload a photo of the lunar crater Copernicus. Not a good photo, but the lighting of the sun can see very well the emission of matter from the point of impact. Hope you like. It was taken on 12/04/2012 at Buenos Aires time 0h30m.
