AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights imaging of the Trifid Nebula (M20) and Lagoon Nebula (M8), captured in July 2016. The image features NGC6544, a globular cluster, and M21, an open cluster, alongside the nebulae. The processing involved stacking 11 frames using Deep Sky Stacker and editing in Lightroom. The equipment used includes a Canon 6D with 11 exposures of 30 seconds each at 400mm, f5.6, and ISO3200. The final result showcases the vibrant colors and details of these celestial objects.

hi everyone

a little more processing of some imaging from July 2016

M20 - Trifid Nebula on the left a striking blue and red nebula and
M8 - the Lagoon Nebula on the right
The fuzzy yellow blob to the right of M8 is NGC6544, a globular cluster
The group of stars in the lower left corner is M21, an open cluster

This is 11 frames stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and edited in Lightroom
Canon 6D, 11 x 30 sec subs, 400mm @f5.6 and ISO3200

Lagoon Nebula 2016-07 11 x stacked-2sm.jpg
cheers

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
