Total Exposure Time / Image Quality / Narrowband

Generally speaking the longer the total exposure time the higher the overall image quality. Each one of these thumbnail images has had basic images processing applied to produce a fair representation of what you can expect. When you work with the full resolution images you will notice the quality difference in the increased total exposure time. Access to narrowband images requires joining Plan-160 or higher as narrowband take a long time to capture.

New Release – April 1st 2024

iTelescope T10 : NGC 6188, known as the Fighting Dragons of Ara, is an astronomical spectacle situated in the Ara constellation, around 4,000 light years from Earth. This image reveals a celestial dance of interstellar matter, where vibrant hues meet to create a scene reminiscent of mythological dragons locked in an eternal struggle. The S O H (Sulfur, Oxygen, Hydrogen) palette from the iTelescope T10 in Siding Spring accentuates the dynamic interaction between the elements, highlighting the nebula's complex structures and vast expanses of glowing gas. Through this palette, the violent births and deaths of stars within NGC 6188 are captured, offering a glimpse into the tumultuous processes that shape our cosmos.

Release – March 1st 2024

Rosette Nebula - color camera + 160mm Refractor

This vibrant cosmic tapestry showcases the Rosette Nebula, a celestial rose in full bloom. Captured with the precision of a 160mm refractor and the sensitivity of a ZWO 6200C camera, this image emerges from nights of dedicated observation, each 600-second exposure layering depth and detail. Swirls of ionized hydrogen gas glow crimson, tracing the nebula's intricate petals, while newborn stars twinkle like diamonds within its heart. This is not merely an image; it's a testament to the wonders hidden in the night sky, and the relentless passion of astrophotographers who reveal them.
