Wonderful. Have a nice day!

Are all open clusters boring or equal?
Of course not!
M35 is bright with about 500 stars situated 2970 lightyears far. In the same field you can see NGC 2158 a more concentrated one not related with M35, situated 9000 ly far.

Penghu 1 the famous fossil jawbone found in Taiwan was a Denisovan‼️
This finding is important because we just realize Denisovans lived not only in Siberia or Tibet but also in the warm south-eastern shore of Asia…

What is a Herbig–Haro object?

It’s a bright nebulosity with jets associated with a newborn star.

It is formed when narrow jets of partially ionised gas ejected by stars collide with nearby clouds of gas and dust at several hundred kilometres per second.

The binary star Wolf-Rayet 140 produce shells of dust every eight years as rings‼️
Each ring was created when the two stars came close together and their stellar winds collided, compressing the gas and forming dust.

Another beautiful open cluster in Cassiopeia: NGC 663 located 8,800 light years from us. It has about 400 very young stars (only 20-25 million years old). Most of them are blue massive ones.
I did this image with 45min exposure in each RGB filter and a 35cm telescope.

M103 is a small open cluster located 9400 light-years far and only 15 l-y of diameter. It has 172 stars with two prominent ones.
This image is a RGB’s 180 minutes exposure taken remotely from my private observatory “Anysllum”.
See the diverse color of stars in this area of our Milky Way…

Detail of just a part of the ring of M57 “Ring Nebula” the archetypal of a planetary nebula.
This amazing image has been done by the James Webb Space Telescope with its NIRCam Camera.
See the intricate details in this image!

NGC 7789 (“White Rose”) is an open cluster in Cassiopeia situated 7600 lightyears far. It’s composed by more than 1000 stars‼️in a rich Milky Way’s field.
This two-hours exposure RGB image was done from the Anysllum observatory recently (Xavier Bros - AstroSabadell).

The 23th exoplanet transit measured!
TOI-1728b is a Neptune-like exoplanet that orbits a K-type star situated 198 lightyears far. Its mass is 26.78 Earths. The brightness gap detected is 0,007 magnitudes!
Observation done from the “Anysllum Observatory” by Xavier & Jordi Bros.

NGC 2403 (Caldwell 7) is a spiral galaxy “only” 8 million lightyears distant. It’s very similar to M33. In this LHaRGB image you can see several star-forming HII regions.
(16h of integration from Anysllum Observatory (X.Bros-J.Zapata) processed by J.Zapata! AstroSabadell).

A group of galaxies around NGC 7331, 40 million lightyears far. The main galaxy is an unbarred spiral with a diameter of 120000 lightyears, similar to MilkyWay.
Image done by Xavier Bros and Jaume Zapata, AstroSabadell members, from the remote-operated "Anysllum" observatory.

An incredible image of C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) by Tobias Swaczyna.
Enjoy it‼️

The most difficult exoplanet transit I could observe until now:
K2-285c, a neptune-like around a K star 500 lightyears far.

Detected a tiny disminution of brightness of only 2,3 thousandths of a magnitude‼️The light curve is not beautiful but it’s a challenge achieved.

M52 is a rich open cluster with a mass of about 1200 suns. As usual in open clusters is very “young” (age 158 million years…).
Image taken from the amateur observatory Anysllum @AstroSabadell with a 35cm telescope and 45min exp in each RGB filter.

See this amazing Venus image done by NASA's Parker Solar Probe in its trip to the Sun in 2021.
It is possible to see some Venus details through its clouds‼️

How is our Galaxy’s shape?

The MilkyWay is a barred spiral galaxy with about 200000-400000 million stars… our sun is 30000 lightyears from the center where is a black hole.
Sun's Galactic rotation period is about 240 M years!

A moon over the sky of Mars:
In this Martian skyscape the brightest object is Deimos, the smallest of Mars’ two moons.
This image was taken before sunrise by Perseverance rover on March 1, 2025.

Communication with alien life:
Very different cognition, culture and language could be as difficult or more than technology or distance to communicate with them.

The exoplanet Kepler-76b is situated 2684 lightyears far. Its a hot jupiter (mass of 2 Jupiters).
This transit observation was done from the Teide observatory, telescope IAC 80, by the IAC-AstroSabadell team‼️

The Messier 11 open cluster (“the wild duck”), is a compact, metal rich cluster situated 6120 lightyears far.
A beautiful contrast of its young stars with the more diverse stars of the rich Milky Way backgroud:
Image from the Anysllum Observatory, 90 minutes of RGB exposure.

Neptune, it’s wonderful rings and the main moon of this system, Triton, in a memorable image by the James Web Space Telescope… beautiful ‼️

Isaac Asimov:

“Don't you believe in flying saucers? in telepathy? in life after death?
No, I reply. No and no.
I believe in evidence, in observation confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it.”

Observed 16 exoplanet transits from the Anysllum Observatory:

Last one was XO-7 b: a gas giant exoplanet that orbits an F-type star. Its mass is 0.709 Jupiters.
Its star is situated 764 lightyears far‼️
During the transit the star is only 0.01 magnitudes fainter‼️

The galaxy cluster of Coma Berenice, Abell 1656, is situated 320 million lightyears far… and has about 1000 galaxies‼️
How many do you see in this image behind the blue bright stars of our own galaxy?
18 hours of LRGB exposure from the Anysllum Observatory, AstroSabadell.

The universe is expanding at different rates‼️
According a research using JWST data: the Hubble constant could be different when we observe in different directions:

When bright & dark nebulae met with open clusters, we see huge views: Melotte 15 -part of Heart Nebula- with bright stars between gas & dust!
