Thank you for sharing your photos - this is exactly what this project is all about! :-)
Yes, I fully understand that this photo was not taken with my telescope, but with the Hubble Space Telescope. Still, I really enjoy working with such data: processing it, examining the finest details, and sharing this beauty with others. Especially now, when the weather and white nights prevent me from shooting myself.
Processing was done in Siril and PixInsight. In Siril, histogram stretching was performed on the RGB and H-alpha channels, then in PixInsight — channel combination and work with the color stack in Siril. Final processing and image refinement were done in Adobe Photoshop.
Yes, I noticed a while ago that you have images from the southern hemisphere. That really stood out. You always posted shots of the northern sky, and then suddenly southern objects. Did you use a remote observatory in Chile?
I completely agree. The level of detail is insane. I couldn't upload the PNG here because it was 420MB. This is in JPEG format, slightly compressed. But still, it's clearly visible. And this is from a distance of 31 million light-years.
