My first light polluted backyard deep sky imaging attempt. The North American Nebula NGC7000 and friends using my lightweight setup. To make this all possible without leaving the house I used a powerful imaging filter. The Optolong L-eNhance blocks nearly 99% of the light pollution but allows colour cameras to capture the Ha, O3, Hb spectrums.

I was amazed at what I could tease out of 18 frames before the clouds rolled in. Plus a 70% moon🌔 📷🌌✨

These three bright nebulae are often featured in telescopic tours of the constellation Sagittarius and the crowded starfields of the central Milky Way. In fact, 18th century cosmic tourist Charles Messier cataloged two of them; M8, the nebula on right bottom to the center , and colorful M20 above. The third, NGC 6559, is at left of M8, separated from the larger nebula by a dark dust lane. All three are stellar nurseries about five thousand light-years or so distant. The expansive M8, over a hundred light-years across, is also known as the Lagoon Nebula. M20's popular moniker is the Trifid. Glowing hydrogen gas creates the dominant red color of the emission nebulae, with contrasting blue hues, most striking in the Trifid, due to dust reflected starlight. [Text adapted from APOD]

Nella mia vita di astrofilo non ero mai riuscito a dedicare il tempo necessario alla bellissima "Nebulosa Omega".

Questa nebulosa ad emissione, nel cui interno c'è attività di formazione stellare, è nota anche come nebulosa Cigno, nebulosa Ferro di Cavallo, nebulosa Aragosta o con le sigle "M 17" o NGC 6618, e si trova nella grande costellazione del Sagittario.

Grazie alla sua luminosità, al filtro a banda stretta, che ha tagliato buona parte dell'inquinamento luminoso, e all'integrazione generosa il risultato ottenuto è stato per me appagante. Se nell'immagine lineare era visibile soltanto il cuore della M17, lo strecth ha fatto risaltare anche le nebulose ad emissione più deboli che circondano M17. E questo ha evidenziato anche le nebulose oscure che con i loro intrecci tortuosi, insieme alle sfumature e bordi delle nubi Ha, eccitate dalle giovani e calde stelle al loro interno, danno un effetto di profondità a tutta la nebulosa.

________

In my life as an amateur astronomer I had never managed to dedicate the necessary time to the beautiful "Omega Nebula".

This emission nebula, in which there is star formation activity, is also known as the Swan Nebula, the Horseshoe Nebula, the Lobster Nebula or by the acronyms "M 17" or NGC 6618, and is located in the large constellation of Sagittarius.

Thanks to its brightness, the narrow band filter, which cut out a good part of the light pollution, and the generous integration, the result obtained was satisfying for me. If in the linear image only the heart of M17 was visible, the stretch also highlighted the fainter emission nebulae surrounding M17. And this also highlighted the dark nebulae that with their tortuous interweavings, together with the shades and edges of the Ha clouds, excited by the young and hot stars inside them, give an effect of depth to the entire nebula.

Here is a wide field image of the Omega Nebula, Messier 17 (M17) found in the constellation Sagittarius. It has been called the brightest and most massive star-forming region of our galaxy. The Black Swan Cluster (M18), also makes an appearance as the small grouping of stars below and to the right of M17.

This is a picture of the Pelican Nebula, located in the cygnus constellation near the star Deneb (not in the picture). I have always found it more like a ghost, and I think is beautiful how the hydrogen clouds give the illusion that is moving to the right in this picture.

This is my first color attempt at Mars with my new planetary setup. I like what I've been able to do with Jupiter and Saturn so far, but Mars is tricky. I'm not sure if I "overcooked" the features here.

This uses 4 60s stacks each of R, G, and B filter images. The best 65% of red stacks were used along with the best 55% of green and blue stacks.

I have wanted to get a detailed shot of this supernova remnant for quite some time. The guiding wasn't perfect this night, but I'm pleased with the overall result. I wonder if I'll be able to do this well enough again in the future to watch the expansion of the nebula that continues from when it appeared in the sky as a supernova in 1054 C.E.

This was more trial than proper shot. The blue light shows up from Rigel in this shot more than the first shot I took of this area. I think its worth doing the whole line of the Witch Head about 2-3 more shots to added to the top will wait for Less moon as well. This utilizing Nina's self line up/rotation mode when framing the subject. this is three shot of the Witch Head on top of each other to make this panorama , they ended up perfectly on top of each other rather than off..

The only draw back is you cant do the frame up before hand you have to do it when the camera can see the subject to get the alignment of the camera. I took these three shots as the trial but it was the wrong target to pick because of the the moon light but the right target to try out the panorama on. The Nikon gets the bright light from Rigel AND the ZWO ASI071 MC astro camera is very badly effected by the same bright light light of Rigel, just to the right out of shot.

I have put the Nikon 50mm F1.8 lens on the Nikon Rig to take the whole of the Orion area and Barnards Loop.

In the center of this @ 4 x 3 degree image is, NGC1333 a blue reflection nebula in the constellation of Perseus. It is estimated to be 980-1140 light-years away in the western part of the Perseus Molecular Cloud. There are several interesting objects in this image, which lies at the intersection of 3 constellation boundaries (Aries, Perseus & Taurus)

To the right of the centrally located is NGC1333, in the constellation of Aries, is another blue reflection nebula, VdB13. Directly below VdB13 is the dark nebula Barnard 203 aka Lynds 1448.

Directly above these 2 objects, at the 2 o'clock position of NGC1333, is a rare yellow reflection nebula, VdB 12.

The red and blue on the far left, is part of LBN 749 an emission/reflection nebula.

I imaged this over 10 different nights from the beginning of September until November this year

Descrição:

A Nebulosa de Eta Carinae é uma das jóias do céu do

hemisfério Sul. São muitos as zonas interessantes a se destacar: Keyhole, bright-rimmed globules, dark globules, Dust Pillars, Star cluster Trumpler 14 e Trumpler 16, Mystical Mountain e os Stellar Jets. É uma das maiores nebulosas difusas do céu e cerca de quatro vezes maior que a Grande Nebulosa de Orion. Está a cerca de 7500 anos-luz da via láctea. A região central da imagem nos brinda com brilhantes filamentos bem como nuvens escuras de poeira cósmica.

The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, are an open star cluster located in the constellation Taurus. Robert Burnham states in his Celestial Handbook, "undoubtedly the most famous galactic star cluster in the heavens, known and regarded with reverence since remote antiquity." Did you know that J.R.R. Tolkien referred to the Pleiades as Remmirath, or "The Netted Stars" in The Fellowship of the Ring?

Nearly 5 hours of combined exposure of M51 from a metro area (Bortle 7-8 zone.) An Astronomic UHC-S filter and a Optolong L-eNhance filter were used to do the exposures. The combined image has good H alpha and enough blues to produce a normal looking image. Televue TV-85 at F/5.6 and a QHY183c for the camera, Atlas EQ-G mount

NGC 7380 Also known as the Wizard Nebula is an open star cluster in the constellation of Cepheus.

This is a crop of Luminance data collected with the 11" Hyperstar & QHY163M on 9/2/2018. I added older 2016 RGB data for color.

The Heart Nebula (IC 1805) lies about 7,500 light years away from Earth in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. The brightest part of the nebula (a knot at its western edge) is separately classified as NGC 896, because it was the first part of the nebula to be discovered. The nebula's intense red output and its morphology are driven by the radiation emanating from a small group of stars near the nebula's center. This open cluster of stars, known as Melotte 15, contains a few bright stars nearly 50 times the mass of our Sun, and many more dim stars that are only a fraction of our Sun's mass. (ref: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Nebula)

The Heart Nebula is located adjacent to the Soul Nebula forming a view referred to as the Heart and Soul Nebula. Now to splice the images together into a mosaic of the region.
