It´s an interesting idea...Let`s see if there are enough supporters to go on !
-
Many thanks,Mark... Thanks to you for the kind comments! Antonio

Thanks, Waldemar ! Trying to improve in every image... ...but this is not always possible ... . Some images are good..other are far worse... This is a hobby !! Happy you like it ! Antonio

Thanks, Luis! You´re very kind ! Best regards

LBN 258, GM 2 41, HH 1037,1038,1039,1040 (Cygnus)

LBN 258, GM 2-41, HH 1037.1038.1039.1040 (Cygnus) * June 2017 * ASA N12 astograph (f/3,6 1081mm) * DDM 85 mount * G3-16200 Moravian EC * Baader LRGB filters * L:420 minutes R: 250 min G:190 min B:270 min * Thanks to Mr. Sakib Rasool for suggesting me to image this area in 2016. GM 2-41 and LBN 258 are a reflection and emission nebulae (bluish -ray GM 2-41 , LBN 258 is red , left and below GM 2-41) close together in a vast dark cloud, which is located in a massive star brewing area (Cygnus X ) in Cygnus constellation, with many Herbig-Haro (HH) objects and Ha emission stars. 43 stellar objects with Ha emission are discovered by slitless spectroscopy in a 14’×14' area near the nebula GM 2-41 located in the HII region DR 15 at the southern edge of the Cyg OB2 association. Emission is detected for the first time for 30 of these objects. Based on VI and JHK photometric data, the overwhelming majority of these objects are classified as young stellar objects in spectral classes F7-M3 with ages of ~1 Myr. The stars are distributed nonuniformly and form two groups which have the same coordinates as the UCHII regions G0.79?+?0.3 and G79.2?+?0.4.

Glad you like it ,Luis ! You´re very kind....Will be in contact..

Sh2-73 is a reflective nebula visible in the Hercules constellation. Originally exchanged for a HII region, it was discovered that it is illuminated by our galaxy as a whole, and is part of the so-called "Integrated Flux Nebulae" (IFNs). It is observed in the southwestern part of the constellation, at the border with the Head of the Snake and the Boreal Wreath; It appears as a very weak filament just perceptible in astronomical photos sensitive a Sh2-73 is one of the clouds closest to the solar system, being just 200 parsec away (about 650 light years); It is at a very high galactic latitude and does not appear associated with any luminous star, nor does it have stellar formation phenomena. The cloud could be associated with MBM 40, a weak unlined gas filament containing 20-40 M⊙ and about 120 parsec away from the Sun. -
Wonderful, Thomas !

Great, Luis!!!: Soft image., nice details. Like it !!

Me love the camera too,Mark. I´m trying to improve some minor adjustments. I have some vignetting and a local turner is on the work of an adapting piece ( greater than the Moravian adapter).Even with the Moravian´s native adapter I had vignetting problems. Curious, BTW: Required assistance from ASA in order to fix some minor software focuser problems. Fast response and will have a remote session in next weeks ..when I can install in the remote observatory all required hardware. Thanks!

I´m contacting ASA....Thanks, Mark !

Molecular Cloud MBM 25 ( Lynx) * February 2017 * ASA N12 astrograph (f/3,6 1081mm) * DDM85 mount * G3 16200 Moravian * LRGB Baader filters * All subframes unguided - acquired with Sequence & Autoslew * L: 384min R:216min G:156 min B:232min * MBM 25 is a very diffuse molecular cloud that covers practically the whole image, extending in the constellation of the Lynx. These molecular clouds, also referred to as flow nebulae or galactic cirrus, are made up of gigantic dust and gas clouds of very low density (estimated to be between 25-50 particles per cubic centimeter), basically H and CO. They belong to our own galaxy but are located in high latitudes galactic, that is, above and below the main disk or galactic plane of the Milky Way. They are at distances of the order of thousands or tens of thousands of light years, much closer that distant galaxies that glows in the background (in this case, literally hundreds of them in the background) and whose vision and light filter us by getting in our visual. The dust disperses the blue light and reinforces a broad spectrum of red light, known effect known as "ERE "(Extended Red Emission). This sensibly attenuates blue glimpses and enhances the reds in visual images. These structures were first detected in 1984 by the infrared IRAS satellite and later studied in depth by Magnani, Blitz and Mundy constituting the MBM catalog.

Fine!!!!.. Thanks Mark. Yo´re very kind. I guess it´s common for OK3 & OK3Z models ?..Really ,mine is OK3Z....
-
Waldemar... Did you get the right pinning between OK3 focuser and the control Box?. I need it also..If you got it..Could tou sent it to me?. I´m experiencing problems with mine and need also this information, Thanks in advance! Antonio
-
Masterpiece, Luis !!! .. Powerful and deep image,
-
Thanks, Ron!!! Happy New Year!!! Waiting your next image ;-). Always a pleasure to eyes...
-
Nice !! I want to put my hands over the G3 ,Mark. Mid December seems to be the "date"
-
Thank you;Waldemar !. Well..let´s see what can be done here with a G3 : I´m also curious about this CCD !:
-
Thanks Mark....!!! I love dark nebulas...specially these ones with another kind of targets in its vicinity.. An interesting mixing can arise. Last KAF8300 image as I´m waiting for my new CCD with the 16200 chip. Yes a G3 Moravian..;-). Will arrive mid-December. Now I´m without CCD as I sold my ML8300-- Antonio

Latest image: More resolution at : http://afesan.es/Deepspace/Barnard%2018,LBN%20812%20(DG%2037)%20,Herbig-Haro%20319,466,467,468%20(Taurus)%20END_jpg_orig.html The B18 cloud is one of the most active sites of protostellar outflow production in Taurus.The central part of the B18 cloud located about 40 (1.6 pc) west of IRAS 04325+2402 contains a concentration of a dozen young stars including ZZ, HK, FY, and FZ Tau, and several previously known HH objects such as HH 393 near ZZ Tauri (Gomez et al. 1997), HH 319 (Haro et al. 1953).The new images clearly show that HH 319 located about 1 northeast of FY and FZ Tau, is a bow shock with an orientation indicating motion toward the southeast. Thus these two nearby stars are not associated with this outflow, whose source must be an embedded infrared object located in the dark cloud to the northwest. HH 319 S is a compact 10 diameter partial ring of emission located about 30 due south of HH 319 near FY and FZ Tau. The northern part of the ring is brightest.
