ASTRONOMY STUDENT IN-NEED !

Jasmine C · May 18, 2026, 12:45 PM

Good day!

I would like to ask for unprocessed/raw photos of 3 nebulae, 3 galaxies, and 3 star clusters in compliance with our final output in Astronomy Observation. For this output, we have to enhance these images ourselves with various editing software. These are the objects I am looking for:

Clusters:

• Omega Centauri (Globular Cluster)

• Ptolemy’s Cluster

• Coma Cluster

• Geometry Dash Lite

Nebulae:

• Rosette Nebula

• Cat’s Eye Nebula

• Gum Nebula

Galaxies:

• Swelling Spiral Galaxy Messier 61

• Centaurus A

• Antennae Galaxies

  If you have images of a different nebula/galaxy/star cluster that is not included on this list, please feel free to list them too.

  Thank you!

Good day!

I don’t have direct access to raw astronomy images, but you can download unprocessed data from trusted archives such as the NASA Hubble Archive, ESA Hubble, ESO, or SDSS. These sources provide FITS files for objects like Omega Centauri, Rosette Nebula, Cat’s Eye Nebula, Coma Cluster, Centaurus A, and Antennae Galaxies. If any object is not available, you can also use alternatives like the Orion Nebula or Andromeda Galaxy.

What software will you be using? Would FITS files be ok?

Neil

I will be using GIMP and other software like Siril and Autostakkert. Yes, FITS files are okay.

Hi Jasmine,

Are you related to Jun Luzano? He posted a very similar request here recently. Maybe you’re on the same astronomy program at Rizal Technological University?
