First light with the ZWO ASI533MM camera. The small square sensor makes it a perfect tool to capture the small but beautiful barred spiral galaxy NGC7479, also referred to as the Superman Galaxy

M97, or the Owl Nebula, is a small planetary nebula in the constellation Ursa Major. Using Halpha and OIII narrowband filters enabled imaging while the moon was out at almost 100%.

The Monkey Head Nebula is a very nice narrowband target for when the moon is out. Located in the constellation of Orion, this is a typical winter target. While clouds interfered a lot with the imaging, over several nights about 7h of exposure could be gathered for this image.

Sh2-174 is a very faint planetary nebula and also known as Valentine Rose. In total 12h of H-alpha and OIII data was collected to create this final image.

M36 is a pretty bright open cluster in the constellation Auriga. A practical target to test out a new mount that was recently installed.

M74, also known as the Phantom Galaxy, is about 32 million light-years away from Earth. The galaxy contains two clearly defined spiral arms and is therefore used as an archetypal example of a grand design spiral galaxy.

The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus. Imaged here in a Hubble Palette. This is the first image using BlurXTerminator for deconvolution, which is nothing short of a revolution in PixInsight image processing.

The Tadpoles nebula is a very characteristic nebula in the constellation Auriga. This narrow-band image in Hubble palette clearly shows where this emission nebula gets its name from.

NGC 7789 is an open cluster in Cassiopeia that was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783. She was the sister of the well known William Herschel. When looking at this object visually the loops of stars and dark lanes give the impression of a rose, that’s what gave it the nickname Caroline’s Rose.
