M64 - The Black Eye Galaxy M64 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Coma Berenices, about 17 million light-years from our solar system. It's also known as NGC 4826 in the New General Catalog (NGC). #astrophotography #astronomy #AstroCostaRica 🔭

Its popular name among astronomers is due to the prominent dark band of dust that obscures part of its core. Annotated image and with better resolution in my Astrobin: app.astrobin.com/i/lgyg1f

Leo Quartet group of galaxies The Leo Quartet or Hickson Compact Group 44 (HCG 44) is a group of galaxies in the constellation Leo, it is situated around 100 million light years from Earth. #astrophotography #astronomy #AstroCostaRica 🔭

Leo I, Dwarf Galaxy. Although this is not a very eye-catching picture, the faint smudge in the center of the image is very interesting object: Leo I, a dwarf galaxy gravitationally bound to our Milky Way, and one of the farthest ones, at 820,000 light years. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭

SH2-280: emission nebula in Monoceros, the unicorn. It's an interesting HII region very close to the Rossette nebula, frequently overshadowed or ignored because of its bright neighbor. Located at around 5,500 light years from Earth. #astrophotography #astronomy #AstroCostaRica 🔭

The main image is processed using the HOO palette, but I also processed a version in natural colors.

Horsehead Nebula & Flame Nebula — 2×2 Mosaic in HaRBG Over several of the few clear nights at end of Dec and Jan, I collected data for this ambitious project: a 2×2 mosaic of this iconic region, captured with both broadband and narrowband filters. #astrophotography #astronomy #AstroCostaRica 🔭

The Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) is a dark cloud of dust silhouetted against the glowing hydrogen of IC 434, while the nearby Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) shines as an emission nebula energized by Alnitak, the easternmost star in Orion’s Belt.

Each mosaic was stitched and processed separately, then blended to combine the RGB data with the Ha signal. This area of the sky has always been one of my favorites. It’s a striking mix of emission, reflection, and dark nebulae—and it carries personal meaning.

Boogeyman nebula, part of Barnard's loop and Casper Nebula (M78) in HaRGB #astrophotography #astronomy #AstroCostaRica 🔭

I always wanted to capture this field of view, and now with the versatile Askar V, I was able to do it with the right focal lenght (270 mm). Annotated image and with better resolution in my Astrobin: app.astrobin.com/i/qmhkd2

Boogeyman nebula, part of Barnard's loop and Casper Nebula (M78) in HaRGB #astrophotography #astronomy #AstroCostaRica 🔭

This field is a reminder of how diverse Orion is: emission, reflection, and dark nebulae all woven together in a single tapestry.

Gum 15, Gum 17 & NGC 2671 in Vela. Gum 15 and Gum 17 are two emission nebulae in the southern constellation Vela, which represents the sails of the ancient ship Argo Navis. Near the center of both nebulae lies the open cluster NGC 2671. #astrophotography #astronomy #AstroCostaRica 🔭

The constellation Vela is rich in emission nebulae and supernova remnants. It is a vast region of the sky, and this image captures only a very small portion of it. Annotated image and with better resolution in my Astrobin: app.astrobin.com/i/kw500i

LBN 777 - Vulture Head Nebula In the constellation Taurus, vast regions of faint, dusty nebulae stretch across the sky, occasionally forming shapes that feel strikingly familiar. The Vulture Head Nebula is one such example, its outline resembling the head of a bird. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭

This nebula is sometimes also referred to as the Baby Eagle Nebula. Located roughly 400 light-years from Earth, this object is among the closest star-forming regions in our galaxy.

CG4 (Cometary Globule 4) in Puppis — also known as the Hand of God or the Mouth of the Beast. This is a star-forming region in the constellation Puppis. It resembles the trunk of a cosmic monster reaching toward the small galaxy ESO 257-19, trying to devour it. #astrophotography #astronomy 🔭

Timelapse of the Southern night sky captured alongside my telescope imaging session. While visiting the dark and beautiful skies of Ensenada, Puntarenas, I decided to record a timelapse of the southern horizon as my telescope tracked nebulae. #astrophotography #astronomy #AstroCostaRica 🔭
