The Portrait of the Monkey This time it is a larger portrait, where we can see an area of hydrogen present in the shape of an arch, which looks like the neck and bust of the portrait. That's why I wanted to title the photograph "The Portrait of the Monkey." Very similar to the portraits t...

I took this photo throughout the month of August and I attest to the good seeing for each light of 15 minutes with detail of the pillars. In my life I have seen such punctuality achieved with the equipment and what has been said, it is not due to good guidance and tracking, it is certified that ther...

It is an emission nebula located in the constellation...

Sh2-174 Valentine Rose Nebula it is a very faint and old planetary nebula, its white dwarf is displaced. It has a magnitude of 14.74 and I have needed many hours of exposure to complete this image. It is only 9 degrees from polaris. It is located in the constellation Cepheus and is 980 light years a...

This summer I have been capturing this beautiful nebula that was photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995 and that made the phrase "the pillars of creation" so famous In this case I have obtained the images through a total capture of 18.5 hours divided into 15-minute photographs ...

Ctb1 Abell 85. A supernova remmant, 57 h exp time in HOO palette. It's size in the sky is similar to the size of a full moon. It's outer shell has ruptured between the 4 and 5 o'clock position. Originally this was thought to be a Planetary nebula (Abell 85) but in 1971 it was determined that is actu...

Jones-Emberson 1 (PK 164+31.1), also known as the Headphone Nebula, is a 14th magnitude planetary nebula in the constellation Lynx at a distance of 1600 light years. It is a larger planetary with low surface brightness. The 16.8-magnitude central star is a very blue white dwarf. RGB 24X300" (Ea...

vdB 16 is the bluish reflection nebula. It is illuminated by HIP 15984, a blue star of spectral type B8. To the south of vdB 13 is the dark nebula Barnard 203. Within the dark clouds of B 203 another reflection nebula is visible: RNO 14, showing a red-brown color. Herbig-Haro objects can be observed...

I present to you the great nebula of orion, captured with my takahasi FSQ106 at f3.6 I used the CMOS ZWO ASI 294MC Pro for the acquisition of the photographs. A total of 45 180" shots and 25 10" shots for the core. Captured in the rural skies of Torroja del Priorat Processed with Pixinsigh...

Winter Hexagon, Great asterisk in northen winter skies. From Torroja del Priorat I was taken 125 photos of 20" with my Sony A6300. All staked with DSS and processed with Phothoshop. I want to representate this great hexagon with 7 starts. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51854968425_63bbd286...

I am pleased to introduce you to the Tulip Nebula. Sh2-101. In the cygnus constellation. Image made in Hubble palette. Accumulating 45 hours of exposure, in 60 sub-shots of 15 minutes for each filter (Ha, OIII, SII). The photograph is taken from the skies of Ager, through my remote observatory. The ...

Hi friends! Very different from the ones I usually see from M78. This image contains Hydrogen Halpha, in the molecular field of Orion. M78 is a reflection nebula and therefore no broadband signal appears. So I wanted to show both parts. Halpha and LRGB It has been a very hard process and a total of ...

This is an extended cloud of gas and dust that is part of the low-mass star-forming region. The two small galaxies are the spiral galaxy PGC 69472 (top - magnitude 15.5 and size: 2.1x1.6 arcmin) and the spiral galaxy PGC 166755 (bottom - magnitude 16 and size: 1.3x0.6 arcmin).
