Cave Nebula, also known as Sh2-155 or Caldwell 9 is a huge emission nebula located in the constellation of Cepheus. The Cave itself is the dark arcuate object in the center surrounded by the red emission nebula. It has about 14 light years in diameter and is part of a much bigger cloud of gas and dust, which lies at a distance of 2740 light years.
I captured this image in September through a borrowed telescope Vixen 81S with my modified camera Canon EOS 1300D. It is my first attempt at taking emission nebulae through the telescope, not a lens, and I am pretty happy with it. There is much more detail than it would be through the common lens.

The Sombrero Galaxy (M104), 04/18/2021
Like I said in my last photo, its galaxy season, lol. A few weeks ago, I took my gear up into the woods and was able to capture lots of images while in the dark skis. I have always wanted to photography this galaxy, but it is really small and far away (31 million light-year), but I did it anyways. This picture is cropped in a lot. The Sombrero Galaxy is almost perfectly edge on to our field of view, so the dust lanes really pop. It also contains one of the biggest super-massive black holes ever discovered.

This is my first Orion Nebula of the season. I used my smaller 6" Newton to capture it. In the next weeks i try to use the 10" to get a detailed picture of the center of the nebula.

This is my first time using the H-Alpha Version of my Canon 60Da. Great to see it captures the H-Alpha lines so well. Barnard 33 is one of the most amazing objects is captured so far, I hope you enjoy the picture !

Leo Triplet (M65, M66, NGC3628), 03/17/2021
Galaxy season is here. In Spring most of the nebulas set too early to photograph so attention turns to distant and dim galaxies. For my current setup this is unfortunate because I have wrong field of view for tiny galaxies. But a YouTube channel I watch (Chuck’s Astrophotography) did this group using the same telescope I have so I gave it a go. Thanks Chuck! I did spend a lot of time on this so I would have enough detail to crop it in a bit. So, I give you the Leo Triplet, unsurprisingly found in the constellation Leo. These gravitationally bound galaxies are approximately 35 million lights years from you.

The Rosette Nebula is a large spherical H II region around open cluster NGC 2244. The stars of the cluster having been formed from the nebula's matter. The cluster and nebula lie at a distance of some 5,000 light years from Earth and measure roughly 130 light years in diameter.

Starting to pull out detail from the galaxy. Need to start generating flats. Start Data collection over on these images. Make sure that certain temp is attained before taking lights. Prevents noise.

I created this mosaic with a ZenithStar 61ii throughout August, September, and October 2021. Each panel integrated a minimum of 7 hours of 6 minute exposures at dual narrowband. The mosaic shown here integrates 107.5 hours of photons.
Take a look for the Heart Nebula, Soul Nebula, Fish Head Nebula, quite a few planetary nebulas, and quite a few more hydrogen-rich formations.
For each panel, I extracted and stacked Ha and [OIII] separately, then processed to remove light pollution.
I then stitched separate mosaics for Ha and [OIII] and combined them with an HOO2 palette.
I found that taking adding 3-6 panels at a time and carefully matching across boundaries was helpful in building a consistent mosaic. I also found that the LNC typically suggested for mosaics (LNC degree 4, 3 iterations) introduced wavy artifacts across the mosaic, but blending with simple MBB (20% overlap) gave a much better result since I had already reduced light pollution from the individual panels.

A comet streaks across a dark night sky, dotted with distant stars. No specific person is identifiable in the image, but the image shows a celestial event, likely captured by an amateur astronomer or astrophotographer. The comet's tail is visible, indicating its movement through space. The image's purpose is likely to document and share the observation of this astronomical phenomenon.
My very first experience in AP without any cropping. Still learning the craft and post processing (if you're in AP this is very obvious just by looking at the picture).
This is the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237). This nebula is 5,219 light years away from earth with an approximate radius of 65 light years. Image is comprised of approximately 18 images at 4 minute exposure with a combination of 20 dark frames, 20 bias frames, 20 flat frames, and 20 dark bias frames.

Elephant's Trunk Nebula is a nebula, a structure of gas and dust, located in the constellation Cepheus. It belongs to a lot larger emission nebula IC 1396 (the entire red object in the image). The elephant's trunk itself is only a small part (in the middle of the crop in the second image), which really looks like a curled elephant's trunk. The whole nebula is ionized by a massive star in the center and is home to very young stars. It lies at a distance of 2400 light years and has a size of 6 full moons in the night sky!
The obviously red star at the edge of the nebula is called Herschel's Garnet Star or Erakis. It was noted by William Heschel, who described it as "a very fine deep garnet colour, such as the periodical star Omicron Ceti (variable star in Cetus)". It is one of the largest known stars with a radius of around 1.2 billion km and is expected to explode "soon" like a supernova and become a black hole.
There is also a part of Sh2-129 (the Squid Nebula) in the lower right corner.
I took this image in August with my modified Canon EOS 1300D and CLS filter. It was made from only less than two hours because of a short night and clouds, but it still looks pretty good.
