Today we see a shot of the spherical constellation Omega Centauri, NGC 5139, which can be found at the same time on www.astronomie.de with professional explanations by Peter Riepe as the astrophoto of the week. Of course, there is a comparison on Saturday, because a new picture of Fuerteventura from early June was successful in good conditions.

Image Description and Details : Details: NGC 5367 and Barnard 146E are an interesting mixture of bright and dark nebulosity in Centaurus. The brightest portion is the reflection nebula NGC 5367 surrounding a 9th magnitude star. A second fainter portion is visible in an 8" telescope, a little southeast of the brightest portion, surrounding a 10th magnitude double star. This would be an interesting region for a visual observer with a large telescope.

The South Celestial Serpent is a large integrated flux nebula (IFN). IFN are composed of diffuse dust particles, hydrogen and carbon monoxide and other elements. Unlike reflection nebula’s which are lit by proximate stars, IFN are illuminated by the glow of the Milky Way Galaxy and are much fainter than most reflection nebulae. IFN were only identified quite recently in great part due to improvements in the sensitivity of imaging sensors. They are very prominent in the direction of both the north and south celestial poles. The large IFN nebula close to the south celestial pole is MW9 and is commonly termed the South Celestial Serpent.

Imaged in RGB on our RH 350 at Observatorio El Sauce, Chile.

My favorite poet certainly didn't have such a luxurious fountain in mind, when he wrote those words in his famous novella "The Little Prince", but when I saw it during my visit to Death Valley National Park in May, I knew I had to return to shoot it with the rising Milky Way.

Saturn, with the resplendent colours of its southern hemisphere.

I had superb seeing for this session and that has resulted in a lot of detail being resolved in the planet's atmosphere.

There is a large storm cell in the NNTeZ on the p side of the Central Meridian, which could be seen in both the RGB and IR images. On its f side a series of small ovals can be observed.

This is the first image I have captured where there is clearly discernible activity in the southern hemisphere now that the ring tilt is allowing us to see that. On the northern side of what I think is the SSTeB, there is quite a dark feature on the f side of the Central Meridian nearer to the limb, again clearly discernible in RGB and IR. On the p side of this feature is a line of small ovals and festoons.

Image Description and Details : The "Cocoon" nebula is aptly named: it is a magnificent nursery of stars, located about 3500 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. The "Cocoon" is home to a small open cluster (called "Collinder 470") that reveals about 20 stars. If it does not have the generous apparent dimensions of other well-known star-forming places, such as the Orion or Lagoon nebulae, the Cocoon nebula is nevertheless the seat of a sustained activity of star creation, the great majority of which are actually hidden behind the dark dust bands. The Cocoon Nebula also has a "bluish" zone around the edge of the ionized zone, which does not result from the same physical mechanism. In this zone, the light does not result from the absorption of stellar radiation by the gas and its re-emission at a lower energy (red zones), but from a simpler "reflection" of the light by the surrounding dust clouds.

Image Description and Details : Galaxy M94 or Ngc 4736 is located about 14 million light years away in the constellation of the Hounds. The M94 galaxy is certainly one of the most beautiful galaxies observable in the spring sky. NGC 4736 was discovered by the French astronomer Pierre Méchain in 1781. Messier 94 is thought to have a diameter of 30,000 to 50,000 A.L. corresponding to its main nucleus. Beyond this, a much fainter looking halo extends another few tens of thousands of A.L. This picture was taken in Alentejo (South Portugal) in Remote de France by Team ARO from 04/07/22 to 05/08/22. Astrosib 400/3200 telescope on DDM 85 ASA mount. Camera Moravian G3 16200. Lum=89X5'.

Image Description and Details : In recent months, and more precisely from March 19th to June 5th, I have concentrated on shooting the portion of the sky between the constellations of Leo, Virgo and Coma Berenices. This is a very rich field of galaxies from the Leo Triplet to the Virgo Cluster, some very small, some larger that show interesting details and others that appear as a simple wad of light with the brightest core in the center. In total, I acquired about 77 hours of signal to compose 17 images in which I could count (thanks to the annotations of Pixinsight), in addition to the 21 subjects belonging to the Messier catalogue that were my main subjects, 44 galaxies belonging to the NGC catalogue (New General Catalogue), 29 belonging to the IC catalogue (Index Catalogue) and 760 remote galaxies belonging to the PGC catalogue (Principal Galaxies Catalogue). I close my first galaxy season with this composition of the main galaxies captured, namely the 21 cataloged by Messier and others in the NGC catalogue, including the Hamburger Galaxy, the Markarian's Eye and the Siamese Twins.
