Image of IC 405 aka the Flaming Star Nebula This is an emission (the red part) and reflection (the blue part) nebula. It's relatively bright for a nebula with visual magnitude of +6.

The bright star at the center of the blue reflection nebula is AE Aurigae, it's the star responsible for the ionisation of the gas in this nebula. AE Aurigae is what's known as a runaway star, those are star that moves at high speed compared to their surrounding environment. They are the result of gravitational interaction between stars or stars being ejected by nearby supernovae. In the case of AE Aurigae, it was probably ejected due to gravitational interaction, its path has been traced back to the Orion Nebula from which it was ejected about 2 million years ago.

The moon was nearly full and somewhat close by when I took the photos, so it was a bit tricky to process them. As a result, the reflection part of the nebula was not as visible as I would have liked but I think the overall result is not too bad.

Image taken using a CarbonStar 150/600 newtonian telescope with a 0.95 coma corrector, ZWO ASI294 monochrome camera. 6x300s image for each colour filter (LRGB) and 12x300s for the Ha filter, total imaging time 3h, stacking and processing done in PixInsight.

Tried applying the Ortonglow script in PixInsight to give the nebula a bit more depth, but I don't like the halos it gave around the bright stars on the left.

This probably is my most detailed picture of the nebulas surrounding Orion's Belt. I was specifically targeting the nebulae 'next' to Alnitak, but I didn't realize until I saw the result of tonight's shooting that the Great Orion Nebula is the brightest of them all. I know in which direction I'm making pictures next time.

Music Inspiration

I've been meaning to make art around this music for a while, I finally got around to making concept arts (in which are up on my Patreon), but I reaaaally liked how I did the eyes in one sketch, which made it hard to see in the concepts (as it looked more focused in landscape, which had me go ehhh, because there wasn't really much), so I decided to do a closer shot! : D

StARS Presentation

On Wednesday, April 24th, I presented at the Student Arts and Research Symphosium, or StARS for short, alongside my classmate, Cameron Williams. At the event, we presented our pictures of the Crab Nebula, comparing our edits against one another's. Alongside our Crab Nebula, we had pictures of the Flame Nebula, and Saturn, which I had edited, as well as Cameron's image of the Iris Nebula. Throughout our time presenting, we had multiple people approach our poster, asking questions about how we edited our images, as well as why we chose to colorize the images that we did. We received numerous questions regarding our class, as well as how long we worked on each image. We explained to people how long the images took to create and dove into the details of the steps we took, highlighting our use of the curves tool, and the levels tool. Cameron and I also explained how we aligned the several layers of each image, as well as explained the difference between each layer to the people who approached our poster. We touched on the three screen layers, and how each were either green, red, or blue, as well as the top layer, or the luminance layer. Presenting at StARS was a fun experience, allowing us to showcase our newly learned knowledge in image editing. It also allowed for us to see the differences in each other's posters, as well as other posters from presenters outside of our class. The presentation was a good and fun experience and allowed me to really discover how much I learned over the course of the semester.
