#KStars debuts a new documentation site!
A comprehensive resource that helps you to get to know and make the most of KDE's fantastic night sky observatory and astrophotography utility.
At the moment, only English is available. More languages coming soon.

Currently collecting photons on a very weirdly framed jellyfish nebula (because my FOV is a bit tight for this one).
I like the overview page of #EKOS in #kstars so I took a quick screenshot of the current session.
On the 300s subframe preview you can already start to see the jellyfish Ha structure a bit :D
I think the DSOs with at least one medium bright star next to then are always my prefered ones. I really like star spikes.
(But please Alnitak, you are overdoing it)

I'm not done with the processing of my Soul Nebula (IC 1848) data but I thought I'd share this little crop from the larger image which has strong "cosmic cliffs" vibes.

Sh 2-155, from the Sharpless catalog, also known as the Cave Nebula, is a diffuse nebula in the constellation Cepheus, within a large nebula complex containing emission, reflection and dark nebulae. Sh 2-155 is an ionized H II region with ongoing star formation activity, at an estimated distance of 2400 light-years from Earth.

SH 2-119 (from the Sharpless catalog of H II regions), also known as the Clamshell Nebula, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. It is fainter and not as frequently imaged as its western neighbour, the North America Nebula.
This image was captured over six nights between July 13 and August 1st. Two different dual narrow-band filters were used to capture the different wavelengths of the sulphur, hydrogen and oxygen emissions.
