Wikipedia:
Nebulosa del Corazón es también conocida como IC 1805, se llama así por su característica forma en fotografías de larga exposición. Tiene un tamaño de casi 300 años luz, y su fuente de ionización son las estrellas del joven (1,5 millones de años de edad) cúmulo abierto Melotte 15, situadas en su interior y que se han formado en ella.
IC 1805 e IC 1848 son dos nebulosas de emisión situadas en la constelación de Casiopea a 7500 años luz del Sistema Solar, en el brazo espiral de Perseo de la Vía Láctea.1 Ambas conforman la asociación estelar Cassiopeia OB6.2Cerca también de IC 1805 se hallan Maffei I y Maffei II, dos de las galaxias más brillantes del Grupo Maffei.34
La distancia hacia estas dos nebulosas está bien determinada, principalmente porque tienen un Cúmulo de estrellas en su centro (es mucho más fácil de determinar la distancia de una nebulosa si esto ocurre). Las nebulosas Corazón y Alma están ubicadas en el brazo de Perseo de nuestra galaxia a 7000 y 7500 años luz de nosotros. Esta parte del brazo tiene una gran actividad de formación de estrellas y hay muchos Cúmulo estelares jóvenes.
La nebulosa se caracteriza por su color rojo intenso y su configuración es resultado por la radiación que emana de un pequeño grupo de estrellas cerca de centro de la nebulosa que Ionizan el gas dándole ese color rojo. Este cúmulo abierto de estrellas conocido como Melotte 15 contiene algunas estrellas brillantes cerca de 50 veces la masa de nuestro Sol, y muchas estrellas más tenues que son sólo una fracción de la masa de nuestro Sol. El Cúmulo de la nebulosa contuvo un microcuásar que fue expulsado hace millones de años.
Finally, I got my decent shot of Andromeda galaxy M31 that up to a level that I’m willing to achieve.

The Wizard nebula Sh2-142 , nebulosa a emissione visibile nella costellazione di Cefeo.
Si individua nella parte centro-meridionale della costellazione, prolungando la linea che congiunge le stelle ζ Cephei e δ Cephei e deviando poco verso sud; il periodo più indicato per la sua osservazione nel cielo serale ricade fra i mesi di luglio e dicembre ed è notevolmente facilitata per osservatori posti nelle regioni dell'emisfero boreale terrestre, dove si presenta circumpolare fino alle regioni temperate calde.
Sh2-142 è una regione H II situata sul Braccio di Perseo, alla distanza di 3537 parsec (quasi 11530 anni luce). Appare legata al giovane ammasso aperto NGC 7380 e possiede una massa di circa 4000 M⊙; la responsabile della sua ionizzazione è la stella binaria a eclisse DH Cephei, formata da due stelle di classe spettrale O6. Alla nebulosa è anche legata una nube molecolare contenente da 6000 a 15000 M⊙, oltre all'ammasso aperto NGC 7382; tutti questi oggetti fanno parte della grande associazione Cepheus OB1 (wikipedia)

This large star forming region is called the Soul Nebula (or Embryo Nebula) and is found in the constellation Cassiopeia. This nebula is often shown next to the Heart Nebula (IC 1805). The Soul Nebula is about 6,500 light years away from Earth. The nebula contains several open clusters and there are few smaller emission nebulas around the perimeter. The star clusters are surrounded by hydrogen, which glows red from the young hot stars nearby.

The Ancient Mariner NGC 3199 one I took before but it never looked like this at all, An old wooden ship sailing on a sea of stars. This is a shot I did want to come back to and do it some justice as I was not happy with the first one I did. Now I believe I have done it some justice this time so much so I am also taking the other nebula in the first shot as well NGC3247.

The Rosette Nebula (also known as Caldwell 49 or Sharpless 275) is a large spherical ionized atomic hydrogen region (H II region) that is circular in appearance and 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 been formed from the nebula's matter (from Wikipedia). The nebula is about 5,200 light-years away and spans nearly 65 light-years. This version has been processed using the Hubble Palette.

Winter imaging is not complete until you image the Orion and Running Man nebula found in the constellation Orion. I really wanted to put more time into this, but spent a lot of time switching from a DSLR setup to a dedicated astronomy camera, and the associated learning curve.
This is probably one of the most photographed nebula in the sky. Objects in this view include M42 (Orion Nebula), M43 (de Mairan’s Nebula), NGC 1977 (The Running Man Nebula), NGC 1975 and NGC 1973.

Annotated version on our blog at: darksideobservatory.com
While the main and most prominent object in this image is the Glowing California Nebula otherwise known as NGC 1499, there is much dust and in the annotated version www.flickr.com/photos/terryhancock/49425960883/in/datepos... an abundance of distant galaxies are also visible. It only takes 1000 years for light to reach us from the California Nebula, yet in this very same image we are looking at photons that left the distant elliptical galaxy IC 2027 287 million years ago.

The famous nebulae in the night sky attract the most attention from astrophotographers but the areas between them are not empty and often contain interesting objects. For this shot I wanted to look at the region in Monoceros to the east of the Rosette nebula up to the edge of the large area of red nebulosity which contains the Cone nebula - which lies off to the bottom left of this frame.
You can see two giant "pincers" of red nebulosity extending from the Rosette. In the left pincer there are the red and blue tendrils characteristic of a supernova remnant.
For this image I used a William Optics Redcat51 telescope with an ASI2600MC camera and took 14 hours of data through an Optolong L-eXtreme filter combined with another 7 hours of luminance data. All post-processing was carried out in PixInsight.

IC410 is an emission nebula in the constellation of Auriga. Often called the Tadpole Nebula in reference to the two tadpole shaped clumps in the upper left of the nebula.
NGC1893 is the open cluster of stars in the middle of IC410. It's these stars that are ionizing and shaping the surrounding nebula. The tadpoles themselves could be collapsing in to new stars.
The nebula is around 12 to 12,500 light years away and 100 light years across.
The open star cluster is believed to have been formed 2 to 4 million years ago.

The Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is a dark nebula of gas and dust and a cloud of atomic hydrogen ionized (HII region). It's located 1° south of the star ρ Ophiuchi of the constellation Ophiuchus and 3° North of Antares, the heart of the Scorpion. At an estimated distance of 460 light-years this cloud is one of the closest star-forming regions to the Solar System.

This is my humble attempt at imaging this tricky and faint supernova remnant in the constellation Auriga. I managed to get around 20 hours, but I feel like I could have done with 30 or 40 hours. I started imaging this in November 2024, but unfortunately the weather is not cooperating, so I have decided to conclude this project now.
This has proven to be a very tough target to extract signal from. I used a dualband filter (Optolong L-Ultimate 3nm Ha & Oiii), which worked well to get some signal. The individual subs didn't seem to show much of the nebula, and it was only after stacking and post-processing with PixInsight (GHS helped here), that I started to see the Rice Hat shape.
I used my William Optics FLT132 with FLAT8 0.72x reducer/flattener.

Taken from the AstroAtlas Observatory situated in Noventa di Piave (ITALY), this is NGC7380 in Bi-Color version.
I have acquired it with half moon.
Unfortunately, during the post processing, I struggled with an halo due to the fact some lights entered inside the camera from a small hole...
I hope you like it and clear skies!
NOTE: The image was acquired from a polluted sky with high humidity - Bortle 5.

The Seagull Nebula is an emission nebula (primarily ionized hydrogen) that straddles the border between the constellations Monoceros (on the left) and Canis Major (on the right). The whole hot mess is typically referenced as IC 2177 (the Index Catalogue (IC) is a list of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters that supplements the New General Catalogue (NGC)), but many different features have catalogue numbers of their own.
NGC 2335 and NGC 2343 are open clusters in Monoceros. HD 53367 (Henry Draper star catalogue) is a triple star system that ionizes the "head" of the seagull, Sh 2-292 (the Sharpless Catalogue (Sh)).
NGC 2327 is a reflection nebula in Canis Major.
FN Canis Majoris is a runaway binary star system that was ejected from its home sometime in the past. It is currently screaming through this gas cloud, creating the prominent bow shock -- the blue arc -- in advance of its trajectory.

While keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that there will be an opportunity to photograph the fabulous nebulae in the Milky Way around Sagittarius before the rainy season puts an end to my astrophotography, I had another go at processing data I captured last year for the Eagle nebula, M16. It's an HαRGB blend with about 3.5 hours of data in each channel captured on a QHY163M using Optolong filters. All post-processing was carried out in PixInsight.

Dopo aver fotografato la Nebulosa Velo Orientale era opportuno dedicarsi anche alla Velo Occidentale(NGC6960, Sh2-103) che si trova a ridosso di altre nebuose, la più nota chiamata Triangolo di Pickering, che la dividono dalla parte orientale.
Tutti questi componenti che compongono la famosa Nebulosa Velo o Anello del Cigno sono ciò che rimane dell'esplosione di una supernova avvenuta crca 10.000-20.000 anni fa.
Questa nebulosa diffusa, tuttora in espansione, ricchissima di Ha, OIII e S è molto vasta e per fotografarla nel suo insieme occorrono corte focali, ma focali più lunghe permettono di evienziarne gli intrecci e filamenti che la compongono anche se si è costretti, in base alle dimensioni del sensore fotografico, ad inquadrarne solo una parte .
Infatti questa è un mosaico composto da 2 pannelli: a sinistra il Triangolo di Pickering e le nebulose NGC6974 e NGC6979 mentre a destra la NGC6960 sulla quale spicca la stella 52Cyg.
Anche se la Nebulosa Velo è abbastanza luminosa, acquisendo in banda stretta occorrono più sessioni per registrare un discreto segnale; quindi più notti, diversa trasparenza, diverso seeing. E Alla fine non sempre è facile comporre un mosaico: gradienti diversi da inquinamento luminoso, segnale diverso ecc.
Ho cercato con le mie modeste capacità e conoscenze di equilibrare luminosità e colore tra i 2 pannelli e successivamente di estrarre dal fondo cielo anche le nebulosità più tenui. Sono molto soddisfatto del risultato ottenuto e lo dedico al mio caro amico astrofilo e maestro di elaborazione Piero Lavoratti di Pistoia (www.aavapieri.org/piero/ciao.htm) che in questo mese ha compiuto 90 anni: auguri Piero!!!

After photographing the Eastern Veil Nebula, it was appropriate to also focus on the Western Veil Nebula (NGC6960, Sh2-103), which is located close to other nebulae, the most famous of which is called Pickering's Triangle, which separate it from the eastern part.
All these components that make up the famous Veil Nebula or Cygnus Loop are the remains of a supernova explosion that occurred approximately 10,000-20,000 years ago.
This diffuse nebula, still expanding, rich in Ha, OIII, and S, is very large. Photographing it as a whole requires short focal lengths, but longer focal lengths allow you to highlight its interweavings and filaments, even if you're limited to capturing only a portion of it, depending on the size of your camera sensor.
In fact, this is a mosaic composed of two panels: on the left, Pickering's Triangle and the nebulae NGC6974 and NGC6979, and on the right, NGC6960, which features the star 52Cyg.
Although the Veil Nebula is quite bright, acquiring in narrowband requires multiple sessions to record a decent signal; therefore, multiple nights, different transparency, different seeing. And ultimately, it's not always easy to compose a mosaic: different gradients from light pollution, different signals, etc.
I tried, with my modest skills and knowledge, to balance brightness and color between the two panels and then extract even the faintest nebulosity from the background sky.I am very satisfied with the result obtained and I dedicate it to my dear friend, amateur astronomer and processing master Piero Lavoratti from Pistoia (www.aavapieri.org/piero/ciao.htm), who turned 90 this month: happy birthday Piero!!!
