Tino HeubergerAfter break of over a year I was able to finally get back into the hobby and take a new photo.<br> <br> This time the target was NGC7331 (top right) and the Stephan's Quintet (bottom right). <br> <br> NGC7331 is a spiral galaxy located 50 million light years away from earth. It shares many similarities both in size and composition.<br> <br> Stephan's Quintet are 4 galaxies gravitationaly interacting and are between 210 to 340 million light years from earth. <br> <br> Further, in the background of the image many many more tiny, very distant galaxies can be seen.

Tino HeubergerThe Deep Sky Collective just released their newest photo. which resulted in over 525h of total combined exposure time (of which I contributed over 42h)!<br> <br> Shown is CasA*, a supernova remnant that is very very faint and required a lot of work to get all of that depth with amateur telescopes. The image is a narrow band image in the SHO palette, meaning red hues are Sulfur (S-II), green hues are Hydrogen (H-alpha) and blue hues are Oxygen (O-III)<br> <br> For more info and a full resolution go check out the original AstroBin post: <a href="https://www.astrobin.com/ug8i0t/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.astrobin.com/ug8i0t/</a><br> <br> Image credit: <br> Tim Schaeffer, William Ostling, Justin, Adrien Keijzer, Paul Kent, BTB Astroteam Brentenriegel, Steve Gill, Tino Heuberger, Nicolas Puig, Julian Shapiro, Felix Schöfbänker, Mikhail Vasilev, David Wood<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photoghraphy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photoghraphy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/longexposure?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longexposure</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/nebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nebula</a>

Tino HeubergerIC1396 - A mosaic of The Elephants Trunk Nebula<br> <br> Another record for my longest project yet. 64h of total exposure time isn’t something I have done before on a single target. The main “issue” with my Telescope is it’s “sort of” low field of view, making it very good for galaxies, but not so good for the big nebulas of our Milkyway which sometimes span over multiple degrees of the night sky in diameter.<br> <br> The original photo has a resolution of over 200MP and can be found here: <a href="https://theuberger.ch/post/astrophotography/20231025-ic1396/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://theuberger.ch/post/astrophotography/20231025-ic1396/</a><br> <br> Because of this, it usually takes at least a 2x2 mosaic to image some meaningful part of any nebula.<br> <br> This allows me for a higher resolution, but less depths on nebulae compared to a more wide field telescope setup.<br> <br> For this photo I decided to go with a 2x2 mosaic with 16h exposure time for each panel. Spending less time on H-alpha, which is very prominent and has much higher SNR compared to O-III or S-II spectral lines. This allowed me to get some more detail on the those fainter features.<br> <br> For this image I went with a SHO palette, meaning Sulfur corresponds to red tones, Hydrogen to greenish tones and Oxygen corresponds to blueish colors.<br> <br> In 2003, infrared telescopes discovered that this nebula is an active, star forming region. Containing several young stars (younger than 100'000 years) in the tip of the dark nebula. According to current theories, the nebula gets compressed through the strong ionizing forces of some of the very bright stars and the outwards pressure from the new born stars. This creates enough pressure for even more stars to be formed.<br> <br> Around 250 young star systems have been identified in and around the nebula.<br> <br> Note that many of these newly formed stars are engulfed by dark, dense clouds. Making it impossible to see them in visual light (my photo is purely in the visible spectrum of the light).<br> <br> The nebula itself is located roughly 2400 light years from earth, spanning over 100 Light years in diameter. The trunk alone has a length of 20 Light years. The main source of it’s luminosity is a multiple system of blue stars (HD 206267). <br> <br> The Elephants Trunk Nebula is known as a active star forming region, where new star systems are formed. Around 250 newly born star systems with an age of &lt; 100'000 years are known inside it.<br> <br> In and around the nebula many dark dust structures (globules) can be found, some of them small (zoom into the full-resolution photo at the top to see them) and some of them rather big (spanning over multiple light years).<br> <br> A very noticeable feature is the hole like cavity in the tip of the prominent nebula structure (which also resembles an elephants trunk, hence the name of the nebula).<br> <br> It seems that this cavity was formed through the outward pressure of two bright and older stars laying inside of it, pushing the gas outward and compressing it at the edges of the cavity.

Tino HeubergerThis is a reprocess of some of my data from last year from Messier 27 using new techniques and skills.<br> Especially the core of got a lot more details, and the stars turned out a lot lot better.<br> <br> The Dumbbell nebula is a bright planetary nebula located in the direction of the Vulpecula constellation around 1360 light years from earth. At its center lays a dying star, which has been ejecting a shell of hot gas into space for approximately 48'000 years. In my narrowband photo, hydrogen gas is colored red, oxygen gas blue and sulfur green.<br> <br> The star responsible for the nebula, is a very hot, blueish subdwarf star, emitting highly energetic radiation mostly in the non visible part of the light spectrum. The radiated energy is being absorbed by the surrounding gas, which causes the gases to ionize and glow in a very specific color (hence why narrowband filters can be used to make certain chemical elements visible).<br> <br> The blueish tint in its center is due to the large amounts of oxygen present there. It appears there are hydrogen jets coming out from the left over dwarf star (visible as red “jets” coming out from the center).<br> <br> The nebula itself is made up of different shock-wave fronts, which can easily be seen as different “shells” travelling through the nebula. These are expanding at a rate of up to 40-80km/s!<br> <br> Note that this is a Narrowband image, meaning there were 3 filters used that only let one narrow spectral line through, producing 3 black / white images which were then assigned to RGB channels. Because of this, one can see from the colors, where which chemical element is present. Red is Hydrogen, Blue is Oxygen and Green / Orange is Sulfur.<br> <br> The first two images are the new edit, and the last one the old (with the exact same data).<br> <br> 20h 10min of total exposure time<br> <br> Taken with:<br> Losmandy G11<br> QHY163m<br> RC8"<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photoghraphy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photoghraphy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/longexposure?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longexposure</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a>
Tino HeubergerMessier 51 is a spiral galaxy, that has been interacting with its neighbor NGC5195 for the past 100's of millions of years. During this gravitational interaction a lot of star systems were ejected out of the galaxies. These are visible as grayish streams flowing outwards. One of the arms from M51 can even be seen as connecting to the other galaxy (NGC5195).<br> <br> The pair of galaxies is located roughly 30 million Light years from earth.<br> <br> M51 features very prominent spiral arms. Fine dust lanes (dark / black) can be seen traveling along those arms towards the core of the galaxy. The blue colors indicate areas of stars formation (young stars) while the yellowish color hints at older stars with areas of less / no star formation.<br> <br> What looks like red dots in the arms is ionized hydrogen, this hints at very active star forming regions.<br> <br> <a href="https://theuberger.ch/post/astrophotography/20230628_m51/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://theuberger.ch/post/astrophotography/20230628_m51/</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photoghraphy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photoghraphy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/longexposure?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longexposure</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a>
Tino HeubergerWe finally made it! This is the result of a group of 15 amateur astronomers (which I am part of) who have shared their data in an effort to get as much data on this pair of galaxies as possible. The result is over 400h of exposure time (where over 200 are in narrow band Hydrogen-Alpha).<br> <br> This allowed us to create the deepest and most detailed image of M81 and M82 probably done by amateur astronomers ever! The red, faint Hydrogen "exploding" outwards from Messier 82 is truly a sight to be seen.<br> <br> For more details and a full-resolution image check the my website <a href="https://theuberger.ch/post/astrophotography/20230507-m81m82-collab/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://theuberger.ch/post/astrophotography/20230507-m81m82-collab/</a> or the official AstroBin post: <a href="https://www.astrobin.com/tb0sou/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.astrobin.com/tb0sou/</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photoghraphy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photoghraphy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/longexposure?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longexposure</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/night?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#night</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a>

Tino HeubergerArriving at this finished photo was quite the journey! It took 36 hours of total exposure time and is made up of a 1x2 mosaic.<br> <br> These two neighboring galaxies belong to the M81 Group, which got its name from Messier 81 (the big galaxy on the right hand side in the photo). They are located roughly 12 Million Light years from earth in the constellation of Ursae Majoris (Big Bear).<br> <br> Messier 81 (also known as “The Bodes Galaxy”) is one of the most prominent spiral galaxies. It features two very prominent spiral arms with a very bright core. The galaxy is estimated to be the home to roughly 250 billion star systems.<br> <br> The weird looking shape of the galaxy on the right gave it the rather unique name Cigar Galaxy (or Messier 82). This galaxy is categorized as a starburst galaxy, meaning it is undergoing an exceptionally strong phase of star formation.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photoghraphy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photoghraphy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/longexposure?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longexposure</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/night?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#night</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a>
Tino HeubergerA photo which I took last summer: <br> <br> The Hercules globular star cluster is one of the most famous star clusters of the night sky. It is so bright that it can be seen with a good set of binoculars, if one knows where and what to look for. <br> <br> A globular star cluster is made up of several hundred thousands stars orbiting the milky way. To this day they are still one of the big mysteries of astronomy. It seems that these globular clusters are made up of old, metal rich stars. It appears that there are no new stars being born in these clusters. So what causes all these stars to concentrate at this place? <br> <br> Compared to our interstellar neighborhood, the stars in M13 are packed more than a hundred times denser. They are so close to each other even that some stars collide and produce more massive stars. <br> <br> M13 is located around 25000 ly from earth and has a diameter of 145 ly. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/astrodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photoghraphy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photoghraphy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/photog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/longexposure?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longexposure</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/night?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#night</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a>
