Thank you very much! Glad to see a fellow astrophotographer like my work on this image

Hi, these colors are real but not something we can see with our eyes. These colors come from ionized hydrogen(red), oxygen(blue) and sulfur(green) shot with special filters to capture the emissions from those gases. In processing you assign each of those emissions to the RGB channels of an image

I am glad you liked it so much! Hapoy to share my passion with others who appreciate the images

Glad you liked it

No, those objects are literally hundreds of millions of kilometers away, so no movement or anything is observable to the naked eye. Also when you use a telescope to see them, you will not see colors, they only show in long-exposure images

Thank you very much

Thank you very much for your comment! Glad you liked my image

Thank you very much for your kind comment!

Also, shooting with the monochrome camera makes a huge difference when it comes to capturing subtle details

Thank you very much for your comment! Pixinsight has a very steep learning curve but there is simply nothing like it

The Horsehead and the Flame nebulae in Orion. Shot from my home in San José, Costa Rica with my Askar V telescope at 60mm and and the 2600MM-Pro monochrome camera. 60 exposures of 180 seconds each. Processed in the SHO palette in Pixinsight.

Thank you for sharing my image and for kind comment on my work on it. A difficult target for sure, but worth any effort done to capture it

It is a challenging object indeed! But it is so totally worth the effort. I will shoot it again with the monochrome camera and my Celestron EdgeHD with the reducer

The Dolphin Head nebula (SH2-308) in the constellation Canis Major is a deep-space object I love. Image captured from my home in San José, Costa Rica using my Askar V telescope and the ASI071MC-Pro color camera. 5 hours total integration.

I appreciate your comments on my images. Thanks

Thanks!

Thank you very much!

That part is amazing. Every time we look into space, we are looking back in time.

You can get started with relatively simple equipment. Even a cellphone on a tripod will allow you to capture great wide-field images of the sky

Indeed. That in itself is mind-blowing

Thank you!

I have gotten more responses to my images here on Bluesky in a couple of days than in years on Facebook. Glad you like them

Every single one of my images was captured by me using my own equipment to capture and process them.

Thanks!

And I’ll do it again!

Thanks!
