IC2177 - the head of the 'Seagull' Nebula - Another quick process on Telescope Live data from my free trial. This has 2 x 600s subs each for L+R+G+B, with the CHI1 scope in Chile. Cheers, Ivor

Thanks John, I’m so looking forward to getting it. Ill let you play with it at the New Inn sometime!

#telescope_live

Another of the Telescope Live datasets. This one consists of 20xHa, 9xOiii & 8xSii at 300s each, taken with the SPA3 (100mm F3.6) scope in Spain. Dataset curated by Ian Howarth. The Jellyfish Nebula i

That's certainly a mixed up planetary. I suppose a second star is involved in a lot of these nebulae. Rod.

#telescope_live

They must be indicative of the cloud of gas that formed them. Rod.

#telescope_live

Great result, Ivor. I'm also think I'm seeing more than the average number of binaries. Rod.

Tonight's episode... NGC2835, an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation of Hydra, approx 35 million light years away. The data set for this one came as a 'parting gift' as my free trial with

Found PCG962.... It's like playing 'Where's Wally!' Andy.

#telescope_live

A recent thread on the SGL pointed out the jet in M87 from the black hole... I'd spotted it whilst processing, but thought it was an unidentified galaxy... Despite my mangled processing, it's just abo

The free subscription, which lasts a month is for the 'Silver' plan which normally costs £19 a month. This gets you up to five 'one-click' observations at a time, access to the 'pro' datasets and disc

Just the usual processing - but the colour has to be in the original subs in order to bring it out. Pixinsight has a few different methods to 'stretch' images, when converting from the Linear to Non-L

Another of the Telescope-Live 'one-click' observations. This one is of M88, one of the galaxies in the Virgo cluster. Taken with the SPA2 70cm F/8 scope in Oria, Spain. 8x300s L; 4x300s R&G; and 5x300

The new stars, formed in the region, warm the dust which then radiates in the infra-red. Paul

#telescope_live

Thanks, Ivor. It was the apparent deformation of the spiral arms that prompted the question. Rod.

#telescope_live

That's nearly as good as Robin's Cigar. Why did they give you more blues? Rod.

#telescope_live

Thanks Ivor, for all the excellent info. Rod.

#telescope_live

With narrowband you can map any mix of colours. The common SHO/Hubble Palette maps SII to Red, Ha to Green and OIII to blue. In this case the red blob is either some Ha or a defect in the Ha images. T

#telescope_live

What a great image. Gives you the feeling that we're not alone. Doing astronomy on a rainy afternoon- is this the way forward? I found last night that we have until about Thu. when the Moon will start

In the galaxy itself, I think you can see clusters of stars. The yellow stars in the foreground are in the Milky Way. Cheers, Ivor
