Hallo @UPS_DE
Wie kann es passieren, dass ein an mich adressiertes Paket heute an eine völlig andere Adresse zugestellt wurde?
Ich weiß wo das Paket ist aber habe vom Kundendienst nicht die versprochene Rückmeldung bekommen wie es nun weitergeht ☹️

NGC 5367 Reflection Nebula (LRGB)
NGC 5367, also known as IC 4347, is a reflection nebula that reflects light from two bluish stars.
It is located in the Centaurus constellation (Southern Hemisphere) about 2,050 light-years away from Earth.
Data: Telescope Live
Processing: Beatrice Heinze
I did the stacking and processing in PixInsight.
It was the first time, I processed this nebula.
I think it's a stunning nebula. What's your opinion?
Telescope: ASA 500N, a 50-cm F3.8 corrected Newtonian telescope
Location: El Sauce Observatory, Rio Hurtado valley, Chile (Southern Hemisphere) => Bortle Class 1
Total exposure time: 4 hours
Clear Skies!

The Lagoon Nebula (M8) and the Trifid Nebula (M20) are a pair of cosmic stellar nurseries located roughly 4,000 to 5,200 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. They contain emission, reflection and dark nebulae. This is over 20hrs taken from my backyard in W.Australia
NGC 4236 captured from my dark site in southern France on three nights in April 🇫🇷😊🔭
This was shot on the EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar at f/2 for a total integration time of 11.5 hours in RGB+Ha using a QHY183C cam. The Ha data enhances the star forming regions.

Breakfast for Bumpy.
He's one of our newest orphans, at our Kaluku Neonate Unit in Tsavo. His mother was killed – likely defending him in a territorial fight – and he spent at least a day alone beside her before the Kenya Wildlife Service brought him in.
He's a baby hippo. Hippos start their lives in water and learn to nurse beneath the surface, diving and resurfacing for breath between sips. Bumpy's bottle feeds are easier – no diving required.
He has a long road ahead. Adopting Bumpy helps fund his milk, his Keepers, and the years of care between now and his return to the wild.

The "Pillars of Creation" are three colossal, tower-like clouds of interstellar gas and dust located about 6,500 to 7,000 light-years from Earth in the center of the Eagle Nebula (M16). Named for highly active "stellar nurseries" where dense pockets of gas collapse to form stars.

NGC 6188 The Fighting Dragons of ARA or the Firebird Nebula is an emission nebula located ~4000 light years from Earth in the constellation ARA.
This is ~30 hours of 180 sec exposures using Ha-OIII & SII-OIII 7nm Svbony sv220 filters using the Hubble SHO colour palette.
