Fantastic Work !!! Thanks for sharing !!! Pardon my question but how much costs a setup to take pictures like this ?

[MarkHellweg]

@capoia something between 3.000-10.000 Euro....;-)

Excellent photos and setup! Are all these photos in true color, or have they been processed?

[MarkHellweg]

@Khepramancer

Both methods are shown. So called mapped color and RGB "real" color filter were used. Colorful universe right ?!

These photos are absolutely remarkable. I'm sure your spent a fortune on your setup but if you told me these photos were take by the Hubble Space Telescope I would have believed you and NASA spent quite a bit on that :P.
