Every day our eyes catch the light of our memories – time spent with family, the journey to work, a special holiday, a beautiful sunset or a dark starlit night. Each image captured is a picture drawn in light – a photograph: only to be lost in our minds or forever forgotten. Nearly two hundred years ago a small group of amateur scientists achieved what had eluded mankind for centuries – the ability to capture a permanent record of an image seen by their own eyes – a moment in time frozen onto a surface. They had discovered Photography. They were the ‘Catchers of the Light’.

Triangulum Galaxy M33 I love it !!!
This is an image with the same old data from Nov 2013 but with a new approach about processing .
I made a synthetic luminance layer from the whole of my frames. Then I apply about 30 iterations of selective deconvolution in ccdstack. With ''selective'' i mean: manual selection of the area for deconvolution.
And the question is :What is the exposure time in this image ?
the total exposure time is the sum of whole frames and that is or the sum of the separate master layers such as Lum LumSynth RedSynth(Red+Ha) and so on
Instruments and exposure data:
L_(RED+Ha)_Green_Blue
Lum :147*5min bin1x1 (12h 15min)
Red :35*6min bin 1x1(3h 30min)
Green :27*6min (2h 42min)
Blue:46*6min bin1x1(4h 36min)
Ha:23*10min bin1x1(3h 50min)
Total exposure time 26hours 53min

M16 the Eagle Nebula
This is an early version image of the M16 nebula,in Ha 5nm filter.
No crop , no noise reduction, just deconvolved and sharpen in ccdstack2 and then, contrast adjustement in photoshop.
Tonight , if i'm lucky i will continue with OIII ......

The Flaming Star Nebula - IC 405
HaRGB technique it's not my favorite, but it's the only way to show this dramatic flaming view !!!

M13 GLOBULAR CLUSTER
M13 was discovered by Edmond Halley in 1714, and catalogued by Charles Messier on June 1, 1764.With an apparent magnitude of 5.8, it is barely visible with the naked eye on a very clear night. Its diameter is about 23 arc minutes and it is readily viewable in small telescopes. Nearby is NGC 6207, a 12th magnitude edge-on galaxy that lies 28 arc minutes directly north east. A small galaxy, IC 4617, lies halfway between NGC 6207 and M13, north-northeast of the large globular's center.
M13 is about 145 light-years in diameter, and it is composed of several hundred thousand stars, the brightest of which is the variable starV11 with an apparent magnitude of 11.95. M13 is 25,100 light-years away from Earth.
