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.

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.

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

This is a nice open cluster with some 50 stars. This cluster have a diameter of 6'. Was taken in 2012/11/24 at 03:48 AM with mi Meade DSI monochrome camera and the Envisage programe. Distance: 8400 ylights. Apparent madnitude: 4.7

This picture was taken with my Canon 450D. But now this camera is modified. We remove the IR filter. The photo is the result of 19 frames of 1 minute of exposure. ISO 1600. 20 darks, 20 flats and 20 offsets. I put a filter Celestron UHC / LPR. The photo was processed with Deep Sky Stacker and Photoshop. This is the nebula Messier 8 also called Lagoon. 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.
