It is so cool to see such photos by beginners made with iPhone and eyepiece: “I know this may not be as good as many other photos but I tried my best with my beginners luck. Equipment : -Skywatcher 8 inch dob (manual) -iphone 7 (held manually) -10 mm eyepiece (super Plossl) Processing : Just photoshopped by -increasing contrast - fixing exposure - balancing whites and blacks Conditions: -very crappy skies (not good transparency) -light pollution: bortle 8-9 (inner city) - Jupiter not at opposition http://ift.tt/2FhOOrZ

M2 9: Wings of a Butterfly Nebula : Are stars better appreciated for their art after they die? Actually, stars usually create their most artistic displays as they die. In the case of low-mass stars like our Sun and M2-9 pictured above, the stars transform themselves from normal stars to white dwarfs by casting off their outer gaseous envelopes. The expended gas frequently forms an impressive display called a planetary nebula that fades gradually over thousands of years. M2-9, a butterfly planetary nebula 2100 light-years away shown in representative colors, has wings that tell a strange but incomplete tale. In the center, two stars orbit inside a gaseous disk 10 times the orbit of Pluto. The expelled envelope of the dying star breaks out from the disk creating the bipolar appearance. Much remains unknown about the physical processes that cause planetary nebulae. via NASA
