NGC 6992, Eastern Veil, an ionized Oxygen only


Eastern Veil was my opening image of the Autumn season 2013.
I just made a new image out of it. This photo shows only an emission of the ionized Oxygen.

Astro Anarchy gets published



My works are selected as a public content for a pedestrian zone in my home town Oulu, Finland.
There is a very large display unit at the end of the zone, 5.12 x 3.2 meters (over 16 x 10 feet). Four different sets of my astronomical photographs and animations are running there as a slide show, January 2014.

I have had my images in the same public screen before, January at last year. This time there is not only normal images but also my experimental 3D-work. The show will run at every 15-25 minutes or so and last about three minutes at the time.

An experimental 3D-studie, Sharpless 132, Sh2-132



Images are for two different viewing methods, the first  is for the Parallel Vision method and the second one for the Cross Vision method. Viewing instructions can be seen HERE.

NOTE! This is a personal vision about volumes and shapes, based on some known facts and an artistic impression.

PS.

Please, let me know, if you are able to see 3D-stereo pairs, by leaving a comment.
If there are no  viewers, I'll stop posting my 3D-experiments, since they can be kind of confusing.

All of my images from the year 2013



This is a poster format presentation out of my images from the year 2013. There are couple of my favorites, like a two panel mosaic of Melotte 15 area in IC 1805, the Heart Nebula, at bottom middle. An other favorite of mine is a rarely imaged supernova remnant in constellation Cygnus, the G65.3+5.7SNR at bottom right.

Two optical configurations was used, Meade LX200 12" and a Canon EF 200mm f1.8 camera lens.

Results of my passion from the year 2013
