"Welcome to the Bonaire Cloudy Nights
Observatory Gallery!
Step into the visual universe of the Bonaire Cloudy Nights Observatory, where each image is a quiet conversation between precision and wonder. Captured through a 122 mm apochromatic refractor, advanced cooled cameras with 4.63 and 2.9 micron pixels, and a powerful Meade Advanced Coma-Free telescope, these photographs reveal the hidden textures of the night sky with striking clarity.
Guided by a steady Sky-Watcher equatorial mount, every frame is the result of patience, technology, and a deep curiosity for what lies beyond.
Explore the gallery—and let each image bring you closer to the infinite.
The Eagle Nebula
The Eagle Nebula, also known as Messier 16 (M16), is a star-forming region and open star cluster located about 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Serpens.
Solved IC434
The Horsehead Nebula is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak.
Dumbbell Nebula(1x60 Sec Sub)
The Dumbbell Nebula is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1360 light-years. (Wiki)
Helix Nebula(1x60 Sec Sub)
The Helix Nebula has sometimes been referred to as the "Eye of God" in pop culture, as well as the "Eye of Sauron". (Wiki)
Moon
Overexposed in this phase, the moon shows the part illuminated by the light of the earth that reflects off it and returns to us.

Today The Moon is in a Waxing Crescent Phase, to the left SAO 157992 and left a bit top is SAO 158013.
California Nebula
The California Nebula is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. Its name comes from its resemblance to the outline of the US State of California in long exposure photographs
Horse-head Nebula
The Horsehead Nebula is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion molecular cloud complex.

Pillars of Creation is a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, in the Serpens constellation.
Rosette Nebula
The Rosette Nebula is an H II region located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Omega Nebula
The Omega Nebula, also known as the Swan Nebula, Checkmark Nebula, Lobster Nebula, and the Horseshoe Nebula is an H II region in the constellation Sagittarius.

Plot
This old satellite, launched from the USSR in 1988, is most likely tumbling and occasionally producing flares. The attached plot is for location, date and time.
Lagoon
and Trifid
nebula
The Lagoon and Trifid nebulae are two very famous nebulae in Sagittarius, and both nebulae can be glimpsed with the naked eye (from a dark site), and they are easy to see with binoculars.
Sculptor Galaxy
The Sculptor Galaxy is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. The Sculptor Galaxy is a starburst galaxy, which means that it is currently undergoing a period of intense star formation.
NGC 2903
NGC 2903 is an isolated barred spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation of Leo, positioned about 1.5° due south of Lambda Leonis. It was discovered by German-born astronomer William Herschel, who cataloged it on November 16, 1784.
At 30.66 million light years from Earth.
At 30.66 million light years from Earth.
Messier 83
Messier 83 or M83, also known as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy and NGC 5236, is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 15 million light-years away in the constellation borders of Hydra and Centaurus.
Pinwheel Galaxy
The Pinwheel Galaxy is a face-on spiral galaxy 21 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781 and was communicated that year to Charles Messier, who verified its position for inclusion in the Messier Catalogue as one of its final entries.
Andromeda
Galaxy
The Andromeda Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy and is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. It was originally named the Andromeda Nebula and is cataloged as Messier 31, M31, and NGC 224.
Lagoon Nebula
The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius.
Orion Nebula
The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion, and is known as the middle "star" in the "sword" of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky with apparent magnitude 4.0.
Moon
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It orbits at an average distance of 384,400 km, about 30 times the diameter of Earth. Over time Earth's gravity has caused tidal locking, causing the same side of the Moon to always face Earth.
Mineral Moon
Moon mineral is a color saturation technique that in this case somehow differentiates some regions on the Moon.
