Info Post









I have shot many targets with several focal lengths. 


Due that, I will publish some of my material as an image sets, with different field of view and detail levels.


The fractal nature of our universe stands out nicely by this way and it will make the orientation more easy.





Many times, it's difficult to understand the image scale of astronomical images.


Due that, I will add a Moon circle in some of the images to show the angular scale in a sky. 


The full Moon has an angular size of ~30 arc minutes, that's equal to ~0,5 degrees.












Messier 27, the "Dumbbell Nebula"





Ra 19h 59m 36.340s Dec +22° 43′ 16.09″













NOTE. The size of the full Moon (0,5 degrees) is marked as a gray circle in all of the images.




Natural color composition from the emission of ionized elements, R=80%Hydrogen+20%Sulfur, G=100%Oxygen and B=85%Oxygen+15%Hydrogen to compensate otherwise missing H-beta emission. Star colors are mixed from the NB channels, Red=H-a, G=O-III and B= 85%O-III + 15%H-a.This composition is very close to a visual spectrum.









One image of M27 is used to make this image series.
