The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, M27, or NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1227 light-years. This object was the first planetary nebula to be discovered by Charles Messier in 1764.

A spectacular emission nebula in the constellation Sagittarius, this is a companion to an equally spectacular nebula called the Trifid Nebula. While the Trifid has a blue reflection nebula visibly close to its emission nebula, the Lagoon emits only in the red spectrum.
Photo was taken through my Stellarvue SV102ED2 using a Canon EOS Ra camera. It is a stack of multiple exposures from 30 s to 5 min, and ranging from ISO 800-12,800. Total integration time is 1 hour. Pre and post-processing was done in Pixinsight.

A nebula created in May 2019 as seen from Dumbarton, Scotland.
A nebula (Latin for 'cloud' or 'fog'; pl. nebulae, nebulæ, or nebulas) is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases. Originally, the term was used to describe any diffuse astronomical object, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy, for instance, was once referred to as the Andromeda Nebula

The emission nebula is about 5,200 light years away from earth and measures approx. 50 light years in diameter. The picture is a bicolour composition (Halpha & OIII) taken with a TS Star71 apo and an ATIK 383l+ CCD-camera.
The Trifid nebula can be found in the constellation of Sagittarius about 5000 light years away, being a bright emission nebula that can be seen with binoculars. The nebula appears very low in the sky here in England, and is not an easy imaging target due to the air pollution and murk being so low down in the sky. Special narrow band filters and looong exposures are required to reveal good detail and structure.
This image was acquired with more modest kit, back in April/May, when the sky was very clear and transparent, due to the depleted pollution from industry and aircraft during locked down. Although there was still a light pollution dome on my near horizon, the severity of the image color cast in my image was easier to reduce in the final image, due to the cleaner sky. Back to normal now, couldn`t achieve this image again.

The Rosette Nebula (also known as Caldwell 49) is a large spherical H II region (circular in appearance) located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy. The open cluster NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50) is closely associated with the nebulosity, the stars of the cluster having 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.
The radiation from the young stars excites the atoms in the nebula, causing them to emit radiation themselves producing the emission nebula we see. The mass of the nebula is estimated to be around 10,000 solar masses.

Ou4 the Giant Squid Nebula, Data in from last night 1800 x 14 at F3
Ha Tonight! Looking at the individual subs there is not much to see but when they are all stacked and treated the elusive squid begins to reveal it's self.
The North America Nebula is a large and colorful emission nebula, immense clouds of ionized gases throwing off their own light. It is 1,500 light years distant from earth and in the night sky it appears as large as 4 full moons. While it is large and bright for a nebula, it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye. But I use a "go to" tripod and mount that can guide a telescope to thousands of galaxies, nebulae and stars. It can not only point the camera precisely to the object, it also tracks the target's movement across the night sky so that the stars remain points of light even with exposure times (the time the shutter is open) of 5 minutes.
This composite photo is a stack of 35 photos, each 5 minutes long, so light was collected for close to 3 hours. I lounged in my sleeping bag nearby, keeping track of the progress of collecting photos with an iPad mini. On each of the nights I turned off the mount and camera at about 4 am, as light began to appear on the eastern horizon.

M 42 ZWO Seestar S50 A diffuse nebula in the Milky Way south of Orions belt in the constellation of Orion. 1,500 Light years away from Earth
Colour flashed Orion Nebula (M42)
Today I show you my interpretation from the Orion Nebula. I have here so many version with different colours and I got lost now. Maybe to much colours or wrong colours but I like it this way. Maybe just this morning 😂😂😂
The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula in the Milky Way situated 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 an apparent magnitude of 4.0. It is 1,344 ± 20 light-years (412.1 ± 6.1 pc) away and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. M42 is estimated to be 25 light-years across (so its apparent size from Earth is approximately 1 degree). It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky and is among the most intensely studied celestial features.[8] The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks and brown dwarfs within the nebula, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula.

North American Nebula ISO3200 2h 32m 46s 65 frames.
Can be seen in the constellation of Cygnus, which is directly overhead from 10pm in August, here in England. You can see this as a bright patch in the milky way, if you know where to look, from a dark sky site.
The dark rift cutting the nebula in two looks like a hole, but it is a cloud of dark material blocking the glow and stars in the nebula, the fewer stars that can be seen are in the foreground.
Up to 5,000 stars in this scene, as counted by Deep Sky Stacker.

The Medusa Nebula, also known as Abell 21, is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Gemini, about 1,500 light-years from Earth. It is the remnant of a dying star that shed its outer layers, forming a complex, glowing shell of ionized gas. Its twisted, filamentary appearance and faint greenish hue give it a resemblance to the serpent-haired figure from Greek mythology, inspiring its name.
The Orion Nebula is visible to the naked human eye--it is both bright and relatively large. It is in the constellation Orion, in the dagger, which hangs from Orion's belt.
Fifty-one photos, each 45 seconds exposure (ISO 2000, 540 mm, f/11) were assembled in Starry Landscape Stacker and processed in Photoshop and Topaz DeNoise AI.
The camera was mounted on an Ioptron SkyGuider to track stars.
The Helix Nebula (also known as NGC 7293 or Caldwell 63) is a planetary nebula (PN) located in the constellation Aquarius. Discovered by Karl Ludwig Harding, probably before 1824, this object is one of the closest of all the bright planetary nebulae to Earth. (Wikipedia). Only 655 light years away.
The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula is a dense region of dust and gas found within the considerably larger star forming region IC 1396 in constellation of Cepheus, around 2,400 light years away from Earth.
This emission nebula was named the Elephant’s Trunk because a piece of the nebula resembles an elephant’s head and trunk at visible wavelengths, appearing as a dark patch with a bright winding rim. The nebula is large and relatively faint, stretching over 100 light years. The trunk of the nebula stretches for over 20 light years and is designated IC 1396A.
The California Nebula (NGC 1499) is located in the Perseus constellation and about 1,000 light years away from earth.
Image taken with Star71/347mm flatfield apo, ATIK 383l+ CCD-cam and Baader H-alpha, OIII & SII narrowband filters while the stars have been captured with RGB-filters. Total exposure about 4 hours.
