This is a hybrid image. The RGB image shows nicely colored stars, but very little background nebulosity. Adding H-alpha as a red layer using the Bob Franke technique, brings out the hydrogen emissions and addition a blue O3 layer brings out the oxygen emissions. The result is a more interesting then the straight RGB image.

Little Red Spot near limb
Credit: Amit Kamble (Auckland Astronomical Society), NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute

There is a lot of free data out there from all space missions so far, really need to learn some data mining and how to download all that data. The data is usually in FITS format (RAW) or Low/High Res JPG.

I was trying to see if i could get some data from New Horizons and managed to find some JPG images from the Jupiter Fly by. Below are two images from the LORRI (The LOng-Range Reconnaissance Imager) Camera onboard New Horizons.

LORRI is a narrow angle (field ofview=0.29°), high resolution (4.95μrad pixels), Ritchey-Chrétien telescope with a 20.8 cmdiameter primary mirror, a focal length of 263 cm, and a three lens field-flattening assembly. A1024 × 1024 pixel (optically activeregion), thinned, backside-illuminated charge-coupled devicedetector is used inthefocal planeunit and isoperatedinframe transfer mode. (http://www.boulder.swri.edu/pkb/ssr/ssr-lorri.pdf)

Image Details : Little Red Spot near limb, 2007-02-27 03:12:21 UTC, 3 msec, 3.0M km

It is pretty amazing to see how sensitive the camera is, 3msec = 3 microsecond is pretty fast shutter speed and capturing all that detail, considering all those devices were installed at least a decade ago.

NGC 5945 is the bright SB Galaxie near the center.
Some of the galaxies in this field are merging with others,
The distance of the glaxiecluster - a little right of the center - is approximatly 3 Billion Lj.

Each time I'm fascinating about the deep of our universe.
On my Website you can find many informations round this picture and a full resolutionimage.
