The Heart and fleeing fish Nebulae lie some 7500 light years away from Earth and are located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. This is an emission nebula showing glowing gas and darker dust lanes. The nebula is formed by plasma of ionized hydrogen and free electrons.
Gently.placed some olive oil over balsamic vinegar in a saucer ready to dip some local bread in and then eat, but started taking photos instead. I used my head torch on red LED setting, olloclip macro @ 21x, Hisy remote, Shoulderpod S1, no editing.

Fun with the California nebula in HaRGBL&OIII

Ha was added to the Red channel then combined to produce an RGB image. Then Ha + OIII was used a luminance layer and OIII colour blue was layered though a masking process in Ps to create separation.

IC 443 (also known as the faint and elusive Jellyfish Nebula Jellyfish Nebula and Sharpless 248 (Sh2-248)) is a Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Gemini. Flanked by two bright stars, Mu and Eta Geminorum. Its distance is roughly 5,000 light years from Earth. At that distance, this image would be about 300 light-years across.

Deep in the forest unnder the deep sky
Mountains Dirfys the mountainous Evia through the dense forest of chestnut trees, our galaxy panorama bringing the magic of mellowed beautiful ornaments full of star clusters and nebulae cosmic dust
rose from the depths
mountains, nebulae, oceans

You're looking at a narrowband shot of IC405 and IC410; two emission nebulae in the Auriga constellation, around 1500 and 12000 light years from earth respectively.
I combined data from last year to some freshly captured exposures (I felt like it needed just a touch more). Pretty happy with the outcome.

Last night I was inspired to go out and shoot this by my friend Orhan,
he is from my home town in Greece were I was born but moved away very young,
He shot a night scene that I loved,
I love for you to listen to this beautiful song with Christopher Parkering,
I have many of his recordings,
Quite amazing how many of the nebulae and objects can be scene in the night sky over this section of Maine with the Nubble Lighthouse in the view as well. Pleiades can also be seen just rising above the rocks in the center (I marked its location on the image with a note). Can be seen when viewed large.

A cloud is a visible mass of droplets or frozen crystals floating in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body. A cloud is also a visible mass attracted by gravity (clouds can also occur as masses of material in interstellar space, where they are called interstellar clouds and nebulae.) The branch of meteorology in which clouds are studied is nephology or cloud physics.

Sh2-68 is a planetary nebula in the Serpens constellation, estimated to be around 980 light years from earth (planetary nebulae are extremely difficult to perform distance measurements on, let alone accurate ones). It's sometimes refered to as "The flaming skull" nebula. Usually, I think these names are quite far-fetched; with this one I can sort of see it though.
At first sight, this is your typical planetary nebula. Meaning a low to intermediate mass star came to the end of its life and the colourful gas we see is what used to make up the outer shell of said star. However, the "tail" of gas moving away (towards the right of the frame) is somewhat unusual. So what's going on there?
The central star within the nebula is moving through space at a fairly high speed. Additionally, the area of space it's in contains a fair bit of gas/dust of its own. As a result, the material being expelled by the star is meeting some resistance as it collides with the already present gas (and is being slowed down if you will), while the star itself continues on its merry way. Over a long period of time, the distance between the star and the expelled gas becomes great enough to be perceived as a "tail".

NGC 2170 is an emission/reflection/dark nebula in the Monoceros constellation, around 2400 light years from earth.
Besides just being pleasing to look at, this area provides a perfect showcase for different types of nebulosity all in one. The blue areas are reflection nebulae, which as the name suggests means that starlight simply gets reflected there. The red areas are emission nebulae, which means that the energy in said areas is so high (caused by UV radiation from nearby stars) that it causes the gas in said areas (mostly hydrogen) to ionize and emit red/pink'ish light as a result. The dark areas are areas of dense dust concentration where neither of the two previous things is able to happen and very little light can penetrate.
