Centaurus A 15 hours and blue jet

Posted By Greg Bradley
I recently found out about a peculiar blue jet coming out of Centaurus A from Spitzer Telescope images.

I added more data from ealier 12.5 inch RCOS images I had to my recent 10:40 image using a TEC180fluorite
and the blue jet was quite visible.

Have a look at the image and the bottom right you'll see the blue jet which is about half way out from the core
of this galaxy. It looks like a short blue line. A strange phenomenon:

This image is now a total of 15:05 hours.

NGC1097

Posted By Greg Bradley
This is an image I took about a year ago. I was reprocessing it when I discovered
there was more data in the image. I had actually picked up a pair of tidal streams
from this galaxy.

Tak BRC250, FLI ML8300, Baader Clear RGB filters.

About 5 hours. Taken from my dark site in NSW Australia.

Near the Rho Ophiuchi complex this colourful area definitely resembles a horse's head.

Rho Ophiuchi

Posted By Greg Bradley
This is part of a larger mosaic I am processing - the largest image I have attempted:about 3.5 billion
pixels.

This is panel 2 of that mosaic and is the main Rho Ophiuchi nebula area.

HaLRGB 120 60 60 60 70.

first light Planewave CDK17

Posted By Greg Bradley
This is the first light for my new Planewave CDK17.

I was happy with this image as it was taken under a FULL MOON so
I didn't really expect anything out of it.

FLI Proline 16803, Lodestar autoguider, MMOAG,
Paramount ME mount at my home observatory in NSW Australia.

LRGB 110 30 40 40 for a total of 3:30 hours.

I am looking forward to the darker nights about to start.
