In this post, we present new data on the open cluster M36, a young collection of stars located in the constellation Auriga, approximately 4,100 light-years from Earth. Through observation and analysis, we explore its main physical characteristics and its relevance to the study of stellar evolution, focusing on details that emerge beyond the visible spectrum. This new addition expands the available data.

Discover the fascinating planetary nebula M76 (NGC 650/651), a rare bipolar object in Perseus. We explore its formation process, the story of its 'dual identity,' and the shocking 120,000°C temperature of its central white dwarf. Includes technical details of the acquisition from the Lyra Observatory and the download of raw data for the community.

In the final episode of the PixInsight tutorial, we complete the workflow using Statistics, MaskedStretch, CurvesTransformation, RangeSelection, StarMask, PixelMath, LocalHistogramEqualization, NoiseXTerminator, and ACDNR — enhancing detail and reducing noise for a balanced, ready-to-share image.

In the fourth episode of the PixInsight tutorial, we explore Deconvolution, along with DynamicPSF, StarMask, and RangeMask, to recover fine detail with precision. We also dive into BlurXTerminator, the innovative AI-powered tool by Russell Croman that enhances sharpness and structure in astrophotography images.

Astrophotography of NGC 7331 in the constellation Pegasus, taken between July and August 2025 with a Sky-Watcher 200 PDS telescope, ASI 533MC Pro camera and L-Quad Enhance filter on an EQ6R Pro mount. In this session, with more than 10 hours of exposure from a Bortle 4.5 sky, the supernova SN 2025rbs, discovered in July 2025, was recorded. This supernova is a type Ia, a stellar explosion that shines with the intensity of an entire galaxy and can be detected even with amateur

Hello everyone! I'm back and today I have something very special for you: the Melotte 15 data is ready to share! For those who don't...
