NGC 2170 is a reflection nebula in the constellation of Monoceres the Unicorn
I started this project in early January. Almost every sub-exposure had a satellite trail. This has to be the worst target I've ever attempted and I'm renaming NGC 2170 to Satellite Road :)

Messier 101, also known as the Pinwheel galaxy, is located in the constellation Ursa Major. It is best observed in the Northern hemisphere during the spring time. Those in the Southern hemisphere may be lucky to observe it close to the horizon during the fall season.
This was a challenging object to photograph, in particular because I was imaging in from my backyard in Toronto (a Bortle 8 location). Severe light gradients took a lot of processing in Pixinsight and Photoshop to remove.
Overall I am happy with the image: blue star-forming regions are clearly observed, along with discrete dust lanes and the arms of the galaxy.
Technical info: three nights of imaging were required to capture 120 luminance images (1 min per image), 24 red (4 min), 7 green (2 min), and 25 blue (3 min), yielding a total integration time of 665 min's (over 11 hours)! Camera was an SBIG STF-8300M using Baader LRGB filters. The imaging telescope was a Celestron EdgeHD8 with a 0.65x reducer (focal length of ~ 1400mm). The mount was a Celestron CGX, and imaging control was done using N.I.N.A. Images were processed in Pixinsight, Photoshop, and Topaz Labs DeNoise AI.

This is an image of the lunar "Bay Of Rainbows" or Sinus Iridum. It is situated in the moon's northwest quadrant.
Imaged during the evening of 22nd April the feature has just emerged from the lunar terminator and the rising sun's low angle is providing great contrast within the image.
Situated on the edge of the large Mare Imbrium it is called a bay but is actually a crater whose right or Mare facing wall has been virtually obliterated. Only a few disconnected fragments remain.
The remaining mountainous wall is fairly high and you can see areas of it catching the sun strongly in the image.
There are two capes at each end of the bay. Uppermost is the Promontorium Laplace - casting a lovely shadow onto the bay -and the lowermost cape is the Promontorium Heraclides.
The whole bay is around 236km across.
The low angle of the sun is beautifully highlighting numerous wrinkle ridges or Dorsa. This adds to the analogy of the Mare Imbrium being a sea as the dorsa are like waves heading towards shore!!
Zooming in on the bay and mare areas reveals a wealth of small craters peppering the surface.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 and a ZWO 290MM camera/Baader long pass filter.
Thanks for looking!!

The dark floored crater Plato dominates this image from the 22nd April. Many small craterlets are visible within.
The smallest of these craterlets are close to 1 km in diameter!
Plato itself lies sandwiched between the seas or Mare of Frigoris to its left and the very large Mare Imbrium filling the frame to its right.
Many relatively small craters are visible within the Mare Imbrium (as well as isolated mountain ranges) and Mare Frigoris.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 and a ZWO 290MM with Baader long-pass filter.

Nice steady seeing, an obliging sun angle to the lunar surface and proximity to the lunar terminator, all combined to give this nicely contrasted, detailed image of the Clavius region.
Found within the moon's Southwest quadrant Clavius crater dominates this image at centre and contains a distinctive arc of smaller craters within its boundaries.
The floor has an area greater than that of Switzerland. Crater Clavius is around 225km in diameter.
Many fine details are visible within the image from craterlets to ridges to fine pits. Also notable is the longitudinal scarring/ridges to the top and right of Clavius.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO290MM camera/Baader long pass filter.

This is an image captured on the night of 21st April of the crater Plato and Alpine Valley area, within the moon's Northwest region.
Plato is the large dark-floored crater and is some 109km in diameter. It is one of the most perfect lunar craters and, as it is situated less than 10° from the lunar central meridian, it is well placed during each and every lunar cycle.
Furthermore it is almost perfectly circular but the foreshortening effect from our perspective makes it look elliptical. The dark grey floor makes it a contender for the darkest area on the moon only rivalled by crater Grimaldi.
The crater has relatively shallow ramparts and there is no large central peak. There are, however, numerous craterlets within Plato, a no. of which have been resolved in the image.
The Alpine Valley or Vallis Alpes is the large cutting or gash to the right and above Plato. It is around 180km in length and has a maximum width of 12km.
The valley runs in a straight line and at its southern extreme the valley is pinched shut by two mountains which are sometimes called the "Guardians".
A sinuous rille runs right down the main valley's centre. This is approximately 100m deep and generally less than 1km wide. It is visible in this image.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM camera /Baader long pass filter.
Again I shall post an annotated image later!
