Masters of PixInsight + SWOS World-Class Imaging Data, Now Available to Our Subscribers Masters of PixInsight is proud to partner with SWOS (Stan Watson Observatory South) to bring our subscribers access to some of the finest deep-sky imaging data in the world. About SWOS Located under the pristine skies of the Chilean Andes, SWOS is equipped with a PlaneWave 24” CDK telescope mounted on a PlaneWave L-600 direct drive mount, paired with a Moravian C5 camera. At 2x2 binning, the system delivers an extraordinary 0.39 arcseconds per pixel, making it possible to capture the finest details of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in the southern hemisphere. In addition to Chilean data, we're also offering data sets from the old SWOS observatory in New Mexico. Data was acquired with a 24” PlaneWave, PlaneWave A200HD mount, SBIG 16803; 17” PlaneWave, PlaneWave A200HD mount, and SBIG 16803.

Masters Provided: L-R-G-B-HA-O3-S2 $31.50 Purchase Download NGC 1313 Usually, galaxies this topsy-turvy result from a recent collision with a neighboring galaxy. Spiral galaxy NGC 1313, however, appears to stand alone. Brightly lit with massive, new blue stars, star formation appears so rampant that it has been labeled a 'starburst galaxy.' Masters Provided: L-R-G-B-HA $22.50 Purchase Download M17 Messier 17, or as it’s more famously known, the Omega Nebula (or Swan Nebula), is considered one of the brightest and most massive star-forming regions in our galaxy. Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, this stellar nursery is 5,500 light-years away in the Sagittarius constellation. Masters Provided: R-G-B-HA-O3-S2 $27.00 Purchase Download NGC 253 The Sculptor Galaxy (also known as Silver Coin, Silver Dollar, and Caldwell 65) is an intermediate spiral, galaxy with a 'starburst' core, which means that it's currently undergoing a period of intense star formation. Masters Provided: L-R-G-B-HA $22.50 Purchase Download NGC 247 Needle’s Eye Galaxy NGC 247 is a spiral galaxy smaller than our Milky Way, and is measured to be only 11 million light-years distant. Tilted nearly edge-on from our perspective, it dominates this telescopic field of view toward the southern constellation, Cetus. The pronounced dark void on the bottom side of the galaxy's disk recalls for some, its popular name, the Needle's Eye galaxy. Masters Provided: L-R-G-B-HA $22.50 Purchase Download M8 The Lagoon Nebula (catalogued as Messier 8 or M8 , NGC 6523 , Sharpless 25 , RCW 146 , and Gum 72 ) is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region.

The galaxy is considered to be similar although larger than the Milky Way and it exhibits an elongated core with flocculent arms. Masters Provided: L-R-G-B $18.00 Purchase Download SWOS - New Mexico IC 1871 Zooming in on the northeastern part of the Soul Nebula, this image shows a few groups of bright rimmed globules that are catalogued as IC 1871 (left) and SFO 12 (right). Their gaseous forms are sculpted by UV radiation and stellar winds from hot, young stars in the star cluster associated with the Soul Nebula. Masters Provided: L-R-G-B-HA-O3 $27.00 Purchase Download NGC 7023–Iris Nebula This deep, telescopic view shows off the Iris Nebula's range of colors and symmetries in impressive detail. Within the Iris, dusty nebular material surrounds a hot, young star. The pretty blue 'petals' of the Iris span about six light-years. Masters Provided: L-R-G-B $18.00 Purchase Download NGC 4725 While most spiral galaxies, including our own Milky Way, have two or more spiral arms, NGC 4725 has only one. In this color composite image, the one arm seems to wind from a prominent ring of bluish, newborn star clusters and red-tinted star-forming regions.
