WR 31a - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/nFT5Co
A remarkable nebula around a Wolf-Rayet star known as WR 31a. I'd love to see some H-alpha data for this. It could be a wind nebula similar to the one around WR 124 but it sure doesn't look very similar. Hrm. Another treasure dug up from proposal 15036. Red: ACS/WFC F814W Green: Pseudo Blue: ACS/WFC F606W North is NOT up. It is 49.22° counter-clockwise from up.

The Trifid Nebula with the INT - From Ángel López-Sánchez - https://flic.kr/p/2jWP5kf
The Trifid Nebula (M 20) in H-alpha (green) [O III] (blue) and [S II] (red filters) using the WFC (Wide Field Camera) instrument at the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) in the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (La Palma, Spain) in 2005. This was one of the very first colour images using professional telescopes that I processed when I was doing my PhD at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC, Spain). I used this image for illustrating my PhD Thesis and for explaining H II regions. The data were taken by Sergio Simón-Díaz as a part of a study of Galactic HII regions we were conducting at the moment. This is a reprocessing of the data I've done in 2020, where I performed some cleaning of saturated stars, color correction, removing artefacts, hot pixels, and selective smart sharpen for revealing some extra details. However, I can't find the original FITS data of the individual channels, so this has been done over the Photoshop file I created in 2006, when I first created the colour image. The data is actually a mosaic including the blue reflection nebula (at its top in this image), but I have not reprocessed (yet) the other ccd as it is very tricky (plenty of artefacts and a very saturated star). I hope to eventually do it. Credit: Ángel R. López-Sánchez, Sergio Simón-Díaz, Jorge García-Rojas & César Esteban.

NGC 247 with the 2.5m INT - From Ángel López-Sánchez - https://flic.kr/p/2kDR8cf
NGC 247 is a small spiral galaxy about 11.1 million light years away in the constellation Cetus. It belongs to the Sculptor galaxy group. This image shows plenty of star-forming regions (in red colours) and young star-clusters (in blue-white), as well as a central region with dominant old stars (yellow colours). Image obtained using the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (Obs. Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, Spain). We used the Wide Field Camera (WFC) and filters B (blue) R (green) and H-alpha (red). Observations were conducted in October 2006. The data were reprocessed in February 2021. Credit: Ángel R. López-Sánchez (AAO-MQ), Adal Mesa-Delgado, Sergio Simón-Díaz (IAC) and Bärbel Koribalski (CSIRO).

This shouldn’t be the story of Valour FC.

But Wade Miller and WFC didn’t care, they let the club spiral without giving even half a look.

Valour’s sad demise should be attributed to nobody but Miller and Co.

Nebulosa de Orión en filtros estrechos - From Ángel López-Sánchez - https://flic.kr/p/4rxfgJ
Nebulosa de Orión, M 42, observada desde el Telescopio Isaac Newton, de 2.5m, en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos en la isla de La Palma (España) usando el instrumento de gran campo Wide Field Camera (WFC). Se usaron filtros estrechos para recrear los colores, en concreto [O III] 5007 A para el azul, Hα 6563 para el verde y [S II] 6720 para el rojo. Las líneas verticales negras corresponden a la separación entre distintas CCDs. Bajo M 42 se observa M 43, la nebulosa de Marian, que es ionizada por una estrella no muy caliente, de ahí que no se observe apenas en [O III] (en azul), sobre todo si se compara con la Nebulosa de Orión.
