This is a 12 panel mosaic SHO photo of NGC2244 that I’ve been working on for five months. This is a total of roughly 2,250 five minute exposures (188 hours). It was taken in a Bortle 7 zone and processed in Pixinsight. Shot with a Celestron EdgeHD 8” telescope and ASI2600mm Pro camera. I used Antlia 3nm SHO filters. I do not have Astrobin (I need to get an account) so hopefully the quality isn’t killed when I post. Please zoom in to enjoy all the little details.

Coming from a complete neophyte, I can’t get over that nebulas function as star incubators. I’m all wonder.

this is made for a telescope meade lx 90 and a qhy 5 III 485 C

This. I love you

This is the Moon at 35% phase photographed on 3 April 2025. I was able to pull out fine details of the surface of our satellite. I've also brought out the colours of the lunar seas. The red-pink hues indicate iron oxide and the blue hues represent titanium oxide. Notice the various optical phenomena observed on the photo: rainbow around the Moon due to dispersion, diffraction rays due to the construction of Newtonian telescope.

I used a Canon 6D amateur camera, a 2x Barlow lens, a GSO 150/750 reflector telescope, and an Arsenal EQ5 mount.

The cluster’s most massive stars, which are many times more massive than our Sun, blaze with an intense blue light in this image.
