M 51 „Whirlpool Galaxy“
Insgesamt 9,5 Stunden. Aufgenommen in 3 Nächten mit meinem #dwarf3 .
Nachbearbeitet in #siril mit diversen Filtern und Skripten (alle OpenSource)
Quick and dirty edit to brighten things up and saturate it a bit more. It’s probably a bit over-saturated, but I think it’s pretty good for 2 minutes with Windows’ photo viewer at work 😅
The North America nebula! Two and a half hours of exposure from my porch with the Dwarf 3. Only “edits” were the Dwarf’s star correction and noise removal - no manual touch-ups to stacking (yet)
So the challenge from my Astronomy club for us this month is The Rosette Nebula, Caldwell 49 or NGC 2237.
This is a bit of a rough cut - I've not seen it done with an OIII SII filter before, and I'd like to add some more frames. Thanks to @rdm for lending me the filter!

Here we have part of the #MilkyWay.
Near the centre we have #Crux, the #SouthernCross, along with the #CoalSack.
Now to share a bit of what I have learned about how the traditional custodians of where I live call things.
Pretty much everywhere the Coal Sack is the head of Wetj, the Emu.
In #Whadjuck #Noongar lands, Crux is Waalitj, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle, but in #Yued lands Crux and the Pointers are Yongka - the kangaroo, with Crux forming the head, and the Pointers being the front paws.
