Webb's Dazzling Collection Unveiled: A Mosaic of 19 Face-On Spiral Galaxies

In an exciting release on January 29, 2024 - Webb's Dazzling Collection Unveiled: A Mosaic of 19 Face-On Spiral Galaxies - For the latest discoveries visit www.jameswebbdiscovery.com - In a groundbreaking revelation, a treasure trove of mesmerizing images captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has just been made public, showcasing face-on spiral galaxies in near- and mid-infrared brilliance. For centuries, humanity has meticulously mapped Earth's features, advancing our understanding through sophisticated instruments. This extraordinary collection, featuring 19 face-on spiral galaxies, reveals stars, gas, and dust on a minute scale beyond our own galaxy.

This is the Silver Coin Galaxy! 💫💫💫

This intermediate spiral galaxy was found when famous astronomers Caroline Herschel was searching for comets in the night sky. At the center of the populated Sculptor galaxy group, this galaxy is one of the brightest and most active galaxies in the Milky Way’s vicinity! ✨✨✨

Astroimager software skyris

#Astroimager software skyris generator

Later I used ESRI’s ArcMap, a largely vector based environment which is unlikely to have any astronomy application at all. The first software I used was a NASA -developed program named ELAS (totally command line) which was commercialized as ERDAS and vastly extended and improved, a largely raster-based system. It's technical and almost ubiquitous in the world of astrophotography processing.īefore I retired I worked in image analysis from photography and other sources.

PixInsight (license) - Given your background, you should just get this software.

Enjoy your observatory under your lovely dark sky.totally jealous PixInsight is definitely the way to go for processing though, hands down in my opinion. I just realized you may have been asking only about post-processing software, so I'm sorry if the rest doesn't interest you. It's technical and almost ubiquitous in the world of astrophotography processing.

Sequence Generator Pro (license) - supports DSLRs as well as CMOS & CCD cameras (for future proofing your astrophotography ).BackyardEOS (license) - automated image capture and sequencing for your DSLR.Planetarium - for planning and gotos if you want your mount to be PC connected for slewing to targets. There would be several for you to look at for different parts of what you are looking to do. Lucky for us all, the software is probably the least expensive part of this hobby.

The NexStar+ hand control gives you instant access to all. The Advanced VX mount includes ports for a hand control, an autoguider, and 2 AUX ports for optional accessories. The computerized GoTo capability automatically tracks objects as they move across the night sky. If you want to use AstroImager, AstroGuider and AstroTelescope, you can consider to purchase INDIGO A1 (All-in-One) application instead.ĪstroImager is a member of our astrophotography tools family including also AstroDSLR, AstroTelescope, AstroGuider, FITS Preview, INDIGO Server for OS X, INDIGO Control Panel, INDIGO Dashboard, INDIGO Script Editor, Astrometry for OS X and INDIGO Sky linux distribution for RaspberryPi. The Advanced VX is the smallest of Celestron’s German equatorial mounts. Sequences of images can be saved in video formats including AVI and SER as well.Įven if it can be used separately, it is meant to be used together with AstroTelescope and AstroGuider. Images are stored in FITS, XISF, TIFF or JPEG formats with user defined keywords and can be debayered during preview. It can preview or capture and save images with any count, duration and time lapse, browse captured images, zoom and stretch them automatically or manually, measure FWHM, HFD and the drift of a selected star and plate-solve image using public or local service.ĪstroImager has simple sequencer to capture sequences of images with configurable duration, time lapse, count, base file name, binning and filter.

Three Galaxies in Draco Image Credit & Copyright: David Vernet , Jean-François Bax , Serge Brunier, OCA/C2PU

Explanation: This tantalizing trio of galaxies sometimes called the Draco Group, is located in the northern constellation of (you guessed it) Draco, the Dragon. From left to right are face-on spiral NGC 5985, elliptical galaxy NGC 5982, and edge-on spiral NGC 5981, all found within this single telescopic field of view that spans a little more than the width of the full moon. While the group is far too small to be a galaxy cluster, and has not been catalogued as a compact galaxy group, the three galaxies all do lie roughly 100 million light-years from planet Earth. Not as well known as other tight groupings of galaxies, the contrast in visual appearance still makes this triplet an attractive subject for astroimagers. On close examination with spectrographs, the bright core of striking spiral NGC 5985 shows prominent emission in specific wavelengths of light, prompting astronomers to classify it as a Seyfert, a type of active galaxy. This impressively deep exposure hints at a faint dim halo along with sharp-edged shells surrounding elliptical NGC 5982, evidence of past galactic mergers. It also reveals many even more distant background galaxies.

This is the Lagoon Nebula! 💗💗💗

The beautiful lagoon shaped portion is created from aggressive stellar winds pushing the nebulae’s gas and dust aside. Many of the stars here are young, hot O-type stars that are more than 200,000 times brighter than the Sun! ✨✨✨

The Exploding Galaxy is a starburst galaxy which may have been deformed by M81, another neighboring galaxy. 🌌

Starting in April 2010, the Exploding Galaxy started sending out strange radio signals and scientists to this day don’t understand them yet... 👽👽👽

Orion Panorama with the QHY367 by Terry Hancock Via Flickr: Please read my mini review on Cloudy Nights www.cloudynights.com/topic/574372-orion-panorama-with-the... Orion Panorama with the QHY367 This is a new process of data captured from Whitewater Colorado on the slopes of Grand Mesa. Using the new COLDMOS QHY367C, Full Frame 7376x4938, 36.4mega pixel One Shot Color Sony CMOS IMX096 sensor camera sporting the sensor used in the Nikon D810a. For this capture I used a Gain of 1208 and Offset of 76, although since then I have been using the Unity Gain of 2850. For comparison, here is my earlier Mosaic of Orion captured using the QHY11 Mono CCD, total integration time was over 40 hours (admittedly this image has H-Alpha added) www.flickr.com/photos/terryhancock/15094540899/in/album-7...
