First, your images are just mind blowing! I guess a LOT of time really helps, and masterful editing . The three dimensionality of the Tulip nebula is sic! This was just the first one I was stunned by. The others are no less amazing. I need to stay these on a bigger screen.
Thanks very much Mike. A lot of time definitely helps which is why being able to image from Spain has been so great as they have a lot of clear nights (unlike here at home). There is a lot of interesting stuff to image around the Tulip for sure. Clear skies.
WOW! Some SUPER fine images, Logan. I am quite impressed with the Flying Bat and Squid Nebula. I will download that file and play around with it. I would like to try to capture that here with my equipment. Lately, the sky has been filled with clouds with many more nights of clouds on the way ... rats! Also, that Lagoon / Trifid Nebula was awesome. I've never noticed the "Waterfall" before. The Lagoon elevation is the southern limit for me. That collaboration of M106 is just insane with those extremely distant objects ... just insane. Clear skies, Logan
Thanks Pat. Feel free to have a play within any of the files. I hadn't noticed the abundant OIII flowing out from the Lagoon either until very recently. The images being produce by the NHZ and DSC groups are beyond what one person could achieve as far as hours of integration time is concerned so it's nice to be apart of those projects also. Sorry to hear about your cloudy skies - it hasn't been much better here lately but might be clear tonight.....might. Clear skies.
Hey Logan - Some phenomenal images and processing of them. That planetary nebula was very cool looking. That squid really was faint. Thanks for the shout out and congrats on the 2K pal 👍
Thanks very much Ollie. I was pretty worried when I saw that first exposure of the squid roll in thinking I had wasted a lot of time on the Ha already but managed to catch that mollusc in the end. I don't know what I have done wrong but the card link I placed in the video for your video and James' video isn't working so I'll need to sort that out at some stage🤔.
Some belting images there Logan clear skies here have been rare this year that & not having the will to image anything right now isn't helping, hopefully I'll get back to it soon though. Clear skies
Thanks Tich. I know how you feel as the weather here is crap - endless clouds and even if it's clear all day, the clouds roll in at sunset. Thankfully Spain stops me from going all "Here's Jonny"!!! 🤣.
Thanks. I have read quite a lot more about this and several papers refer to it as a bubble or a nebula blown by the jet so whilst it probably started out as a bow shock wave, the jet is propagating forces out in 3 dimensions and therefore creating the bubble. CS
Excellent work, and thank you for sharing the data! Very impressed with your Cocoon, it’s one of my new favouite targets but one I don’t think I’ll be able to shoot from Oamaru.
Thanks James. The Cocoon was always on my wish list and like you say, unattainable for us down here. So once it popped into view up in Spain, I was all over it like a rash. I find dark nebula quite challenging to process so it was good to get back to processing one again. Hope your weather in Oamaru is better than up here at present ( just going outside to shout at the clouds again 😅).
wow, you have been busy! There is a lot of exposure time there. Amazing work! I'll love to collaborate in a group project but maybe I (my skills) am not ready yet 😅 Keep pushing!
Thank you very much. Having the rig in Spain has certainly upped the integration time massively that I'm able to do. Group collabs are a lot of fun and for my part in the two groups, I'm not actually doing any processing so it's really data collection and calibration of my frames so don't let concerns about skill level stop you from joining - the main thing they are after is dark skies and the ability to do longish exposures like 10+ mins etc.
Thanks Stuart. I'm imaging most days at the moment with the rig in Spain so even though the weather is its usual crappy here, I can still stay sane (well relatively sane 🤣).
Oh Wow Logan! Some incredible images there, and the hrs, omg! I can only wish to get those kind of numbers! Huge congrats on 2k subs, well deserved mate👍 Very interesting video, I love all the details you give on your images, clearly a lot of work gone into them! Thanks for sharing 👍 Clear skies
Thanks Simon. Before having the rig in Spain, the weather here at home was always a source of frustration as I wanted to do long integration projects which just are not possible with out local climate. The rig in Spain has really filled that gap and has opened up a whole new hemisphere to explore. While I don't do any of the processing for the large group projects, it's still fun to be part of some of these incredibly deep imaging projects. Hope you are getting some clear nights at home. CS
Excellent video and Outstanding images Logan! I hadn't seen NGC5189 either, what a lovely looking object. Thank you for sharing your data, I'll definitely have a good play with it.
I don’t know, I’m really not surprised the bow shock looks like a bubble. Wouldn’t the shock propagate in 3 dimensions. I’m not an astrophysicist. Just my 2 cents.
Yes I think this must be what is going on here. Looking at several articles, it is often referred to as a bubble or a blown nebula. The bow shocks I've seen in various images related to stars etc have been visualised as arcs where as this appears to be more like a bubble. So from what I can make out from the various articles (although they are written in highly scientific language which does go over my head at times), it seems that the jet is not just creating an arc at the far end of where it hits the ISM, but is also blowing a bubble in three dimensions as you suggested.

First! Some great work Logan I cant wait for my leave and better weather to do some decent imaging.
Thanks Nik. Hopefully good weather coincides with your leave. It's nothing but clouds here but at least Spain is keeping me sane. CS

Very cool images Logan
Look forward to seeing yours and James data combined for the Tulip “bubble”
Thanks. I have read quite a lot more about this and several papers refer to it as a bubble or a nebula blown by the jet so whilst it probably started out as a bow shock wave, the jet is propagating forces out in 3 dimensions and therefore creating the bubble. CS
@@LogansAstro So interesting to imagine how that process happened over time and try to visualise in your mind.
Excellent work, and thank you for sharing the data! Very impressed with your Cocoon, it’s one of my new favouite targets but one I don’t think I’ll be able to shoot from Oamaru.

Great video mate and some really awesome images, thanks for the data share
Thanks very much Frank. Enjoy having the play about the data. CS

Great video, and a stunning set of images there Logan, you certainly have made the most of that remote rig..👍🏻
Thanks Stuart. I'm imaging most days at the moment with the rig in Spain so even though the weather is its usual crappy here, I can still stay sane (well relatively sane 🤣).

Thanks Pete. NGC5189 is also relatively bright so doesn't need a lot of integration time like a lot of PN. CS
