Messier 63 - The Sunflower Galaxy
A large spiral galaxy with tidal streams of stars around it, they are a remnant of older smaller galaxies that merged into it. Photographed from Germany with a Newtonian telescope.

Messier 33 - The Triangulum Galaxy
The second clostest major galaxy in the sky and a great example for a star forming spiral galaxy. Photographed with the Asiago Schmidt Telescope during my research stay in Italy in 2019. #astrophotography #galaxy #nebula #space #science #nasa #photography #deepsky

Thank's a lot Beatrice, nice to hear that! It's called FORAXX Palette this color rendition of narrowband data.

Thank you so much!

Mesier 51 - The Whirlpool Galaxy

One of the most remarkable and recognizable Galaxies in the northern hemisphere. Photographed with my newtonian telescope from my backyard in Germany.

Thanks! Just saw it 😊

Very cool color palette!

Sh2-132 - The Lion Nebula

A moderately bright emission nebula in the constellation Cepheus. Taken with my telescope from my backyard in Germany together with Julian Zoller.

Great Shot! I really like the composition and colors.

The Bright Rim Nebula - Sh2-140

A lesser known emission nebula in the constellation Cepheus. Taken with my newtonian telescope in Trevinca, Spain. It includes a bright star cluster ionizing hydrogen gas which glows red.

Thanks! Took that image last season but also looking forward to these constellations higher up in the sky. I want to image M82 this time 😊

Looks like the exposure time has paid off!

Great image!

Messier 81 - The Bode Galaxy (Big Dipper)

Taken from my backyard in Germany. One of the brightest and most beautiful galaxies in our neighbourhood. You can also see some interstellar dust in the foreground. #astrophotography #galaxy #space #astronomy #science #nasa #photography

I just captured over 17 hours on the North American Nebula. It turned out far better than I ever imagined! This is just the Cygnus Wall portion.

It's never too late to start an inspiring journey 😊

Thank you really much for your kind words! The good thing is you don't really need a specialized telescope to take images of galaxies and nebulae. As a photographer you probably have some kit available, see this tutorial a friend of minde made for inspiration: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuMZ...

Sh2-126 - A glowing jewel in the sky

This is a bright emission nebula in the constellation Lacerta that also features blue and brown reflection nebulae from young bright stars. Taken with my telescope in Trevinca, Spain.

Very cool, you probably had quite dark skies there! When I was in Namibia I could also see it without telescope, but looking at it in a Dobson was even more amazing 😊

The globular cluster NGC 5139 or Omega Centauri, a large ball of approximately 3 Million stars in both blue white and orange color

Image taken during my astro trip to Namibia in July 2024 with my Takahashi Epsilon 130 telescope.

Looks promising! I'm looking forward to the final result 😊 never imaged that target myself

That's a great target for that camera and setup, have fun and good luck!

Cooles Bild!

what did you image?

I recently used these settings and got good results (sorry it's in German)

Yeah that is to be expected with strong light pollution, however I think you did a good job of including the narrowband data and the stars also have natural color.
