CROW PAGES

Welcome to CROW's Gallery

This is all that it comes down to. These images were taken with me asleep or doing something else than worrying about the telescope or guider or whatever. Hope you enjoy. I sure do...

Galaxies

 

 

NGC 1275 & others 12.2008

Also known as Perseus A this is one of those pictures to keep human kind in th perspective..

 

 

NGC 6946 06.2008

This is NGC 6946 in the constellation of Cygnus.A beautiful galaxy.

 

 

M 33 10.2008

LRGB  of M33 (the triangulum galaxy). The name is based on the constellation where it resides.

 

 

M 51 03.2008

L channel on Losmandy GM8 with ATIK 16HR and FLT110 by William optics scope (TEC Lenses).

Leo's Trio

Three for the price of one! M 65, M 66 and NGC 3628.

 

M 101

LRGB and Luminance image of this very big galaxy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nebulae

 

 

NGC 7380 08.08

This Nebula pictured here in SHO as RGB is part of my imaginary when referring to astrophotgraphy. H alpha separated from an earlier version.


 

 

IC 1848

The Cone nebula without the Coneo itself. Due to a small FOV this is the central region of the object where fairy dust lies...


 

IC 1396

The Elephant's trunk nebula observed through an H-alpha 13 nm filter...Again this is the center of the object with the trunk only showing a little.


 

IC 59 & IC 63

This is one of those views one can usually only achieve through a computer since these objects are quite faint and small. Notice The very bright star's halos on the top left margin. Neat huh?! SHO and H-alpha separately.


 

 

IC 410 01.09

The Tadpole nebula observed through an H-alpha 6 nm filter. High contrast was used to get the nebula into one's eye...


 

 

IC 405 12.08

My best looking image ever. The processing must be credited to Filipe Alves and most of the observing runs to Paulo Barros.

IC 434

  • SHO image of one of my all time favourite objects. Losmandy GM8 mount and some more stuff.

Pickering Triangle 08.08

One of my all time favourites! My first 3D like image. 48 hours of exposure got me there.

  •  

M 27

 

A wonderful planetary nebula in Vulpecula! LRGB (LSHO really). This is a very rich region in all kind of things, stars, nebula, etc...

 

M 57

First fully robotic image ever at CROW. Believe it or not this was a major success for me.

 

NGC 7293

Also known as "The Eye of God" this is one of those objects one can easily find to fill the eye of the beholder.

 

Clusters

M 3 00.00

 

A great globular cluster

M 13 00.00

 

The great Hercules globular cluster.
