Telescope: William Optics APO. refractor FLT110 (F7). Mount: Losmandy G11 with Gemini (go to). Camera: SBIG ST2000XM with wheel of filters CFW10. Filters: Astronomik narrow band filters (H-alpha, SII, OIII) Programs for processing: Maxim DL and Photoshop CS2. Without darks and or flats.

Description

Times of expose: (H-alpha)-2x60minutes. (SII)-1x60minutes. (OIII)1x60minutes. It used the Hubble palette where the H-alpha filter was used as luminance and with the green color, the SII filter with the red color and finally the OIII fiter with the color blue. This nebula is located in the Orion constellation and distant from our solar system 6400 years light.

Description

The Triangulum Galaxy Messier 33 (M33, NGC 598) is another prominent member of the Local Group of galaxies. This galaxy is small compared to its big apparent neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy M31, and to our Milky Way galaxy, but by this more of average size for spiral galaxies in the universe.
