Something I've been working on with remote data: a 3-panel mosaic of the Andromeda Galaxy. Integration now includes reds and luminance data but only used luminance for this image. Getting used to the mosaics and core brightness reduction workflow for now.

No luck with finding the right area in the sky... This is harder than I thought. #astrophotgraphy #deepsky

Sh2-119 – der Muschelnebel in Schwan
Zwischen leuchtendem Hα/SII und kühlem OIII formt 68 Cygni diese „Schale“ aus Gas und Staub. Ein oft übersehener Schatz neben NGC 7000.

The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888)
=========================

5,000 light-years away, a dying Wolf-Rayet star unleashes violent winds that sculpt glowing shells of gas into this breathtaking crescent. What looks like delicate beauty is actually a cosmic battleground where creation and destruction dance together.

This is why astrophotography transcends science — it reveals the universe’s hidden artistry, one photon at a time. Sometimes the most beautiful art comes from the most violent processes in nature.
