NGC 7293 - Helix Nebula (HOO) Also known as the "Eye of God". I was able to add some more data to my previous images and make out more of the finer detail in the surroundings. I plan on adding more once the skies clear up. Processed using the HOO pallete which maps hydrogen to the red channel, and oxygen to the blue and green channels. This was also the first time I was able to use my new OAG instead of the 60mm guidescope I had been using. -Askar 80PHQ Refractor -ZWO OAG -ZWO ASI 533MC Pro Camera -ZWO ASI 120MM Mini Guidecam -ZWO Dualband Filter -Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro Mount -53 x 180s subs, -15C, 101 gain #space #universe #cosmos #deepsky #planetary #nebula #nebulae #helix #helixnebula #astronomy #astrophysics #astrophotography #astrophotographer #stars #whitedwarf #zwo #askar #agenaastro #skywatcherusa #aquarius #constellation #nightsky #nightskyphotography #reno #nevada #telescope #photography #deepskyobject #astro #astropics

M33 - Triangulum Galaxy (HaRGB) This is my first attempt at an HaRGB photo! The data used to compile this image was 3 hours and 51 minutes of data taken in RGB with an extra 45 minutes of images taken using a hydrogen alpha filter. I am happy wit the way this composite image turned out as I was able to make out more of the reds and blues within the nebulae as well as individual globular clusters within the spiral arms. I plan on adding much more data to this image as I get the opportunity in the coming weeks. -Askar 80PHQ Refractor -SVBONY 60mm Guidescope -ZWO ASI 533MC Pro Camera -ZWO ASI 120MM Mini Guidecam -Optolong UV/IR Cut Filter (RGB) -ZWO Dualband Filter (Ha) -Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro Mount -77 x 180s subs RGB, -15C, 101 gain -15 x 180s subs Ha, -15C, 101 gain #space #universe #cosmos #galaxy #stars #clusters #globularcluster #nebula #nebulae #astronomy #astronomylover #astrophotography #astrophotographer #triangulum #constellation #askar #zwo #agenaastro #optolong #telescope #telescopephotography #nightsky #nightskyphotography #deepsky #deepskyphotography #deepskyobject #skywatcher #skywatcherusa #cosmic #art

M20 & M21 - Trifid Nebula & Webb's Cross The Trifid Nebula is unique in the fact that its comprised of four separate components in one: an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (red), a reflection nebula (blue), and dark nebula. This image also shows a nearby star cluster called Webb's Cross on the top right. I definitely plan on adding more integration time to this image as I wasn't able to get a lot this time around. -Askar 80PHQ Refractor -SVBONY 60mm Guidescope -ZWO ASI 533MC Pro Camera -ZWO ASI 120MM Mini Guidecam -Optolong UV/IR Cut Filter -Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro Mount -23 x 180s subs, -15C, 101 gain #space #universe #cosmos #deepsky #reflection #emission #dark #nebula #nebulae #open #star #cluster #starcluster #webb #astronomy #astrophotography #astrophotographer #telescope #telescopephotography #askar #zwo #optolong #svbony #agenaastro #reno #nevada #nightsky #nightskyphotography #astro #astropics

IC 1848 - Soul Nebula The Soul nebula is an emission nebula located within the constellation Cassiopeia nearby the Heart Nebula. Even though it's fairly far away from Earth (7,500 light years) it's still a very bright nebula in the night sky and popular amongst many amateur astrophotographers. -Askar 80PHQ Refractor -SVBONY 60mm Guidescope -ZWO ASI 533MC Pro Camera -ZWO ASI 120MM Mini Guidecam -ZWO Dualband Filter -Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro Mount -57 x 180s subs, -15C, 101 gain #space #universe #cosmos #deepsky #nebula #nebulae #soul #astronomy #astronomylover #astronomyposts #astrophotography #astrophotographer #astrophoto #cassiopeia #constellation #zwo #askar #agenaastro #cosmicart #starcluster #telescope #telescopephotography #deepsky #deepskyphotography #deepskyobject #astro #artwork #reno #nevada #youaretheuniverse
