So I'm attending a tech conference in Munich this week - virtually. This means I am keeping CEST, and that lunchtime is 6pm local.

So at lunchtime, I set up my #dwarf3 on the back roof, and let it run for the 'afternoon'.

My target was Messier 6 aka NGC6405 aka "The Butterfly Cluster". There is some very nice nebulosity right next to it. so I framed things a little off, and also got the smaller open clusters NGC6383 (aka NGC6374) and the tiny NGC6404.

I ended up with 240 frames out of 300, at 60s per frame - or 4 hours of usable data.

I then ran it through the Dwarflab postprocessing tools, and finished off with some work in Google photos and Snapseed.

The Eta Carinae Nebula.

This was taken with the new DwarfLab Dwarf3 smartscope, one of which I recently acquired. I brought it to Australia with me on a current trip, and shot this Nebula from Bortle 6 skies, using the built-in Duo Band filter..This is 30x15 second frames, stacked and denoised within the Dwarf app. Mild saturation increase in Lightroom.

A Stellar Look at NGC 602

The young star cluster NGC 602 sits some 200,000 light years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Seen here in near- and mid-infrared, the cluster is a glowing cradle of star forming conditions similar to the early universe. A large nebula, made up of multicolored dust and gas, surrounds the star cluster. Its dusty finger-like pillars could be an example of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities or plumes shaped by energetic stellar jets. (Image credit: NASA/ESA/CSA/JWST; via Colossal)
