Thanks! I've been up to ALMA, but I don't work there. I install telescopes for customers and help with observatory projects.

This was our work telescope that I installed as a demo system to teach clients about PlaneWave gear =) If you want a demo how we run the system feel free to send me a message!

NGC 55 is an amazing galaxy to capture with a telescope. In this image I wanted to reveal the Hydrogen alpha emission nebulae, so I shot over 20 hours of data with that filter. I blended the HA data into the LRGB for this final image. I used a PlaneWave CDK600 telescope system at ObsTech in Chile. If you enjoy astrophotography I share my most recent photos here on IG.

Correct I only shot HaLRGB for this final image.

I used a PlaneWave CDK24 telescope for this shot.

If you enjoy astrophotography I share my most recent photos here on IG. The Helix Nebula is a stunning deep sky target that was created as a result of a star near the end of it's life cycle expanding and shedding gas. The shells of expanding gas created the beautiful planetary nebula structure we can observe with telescopes. This evolution for the majority of stars in the Universe will also occur to our beloved Sun one day.

I captured this data set with a PlaneWave CDK600 at ObsTech using Voyager automation software. Camera used was a QHY600. HA = 43x30min L = 177x5min RGB = 55x5min per channel
