M33 is located in the triangle-shaped constellation Triangulum, earning it the nickname the Triangulum galaxy. About half the size of our Milky Way galaxy, M33 is the third-largest member of our Local Group of galaxies following the Andromeda galaxy (M31) and the Milky Way (NASA)

Thank you for viewing Weiburger's clasic blue Planetary Nebular. Appearing to be held in animated suspension by the streams of effervescent Hydrogen emitting dust an gas. Last year while expanding a mosaic of Cygnus out to the lower left quadrant just past Sharpless 115, I noticed a small perfectly formed planetary nebulae that looks very similar to the well known soap bubble in shape and size! This year, I re-visited Weiburger's and photographed it with higher magnification for a more detailed look.

Rielaborazione Chiamata anche La Scopa di Strega è la parte occidentale della nebulosa Velo e catalogata come NGC 6960, caratterizzata dalla presenza della luminosissima stella 52 Cygni, sovrapposta in prospettiva ma estranea in realtà all'oggetto nebulare. Distante da noi circa 1470 anni luce , si estende per circa 35 anni luce , e’ composta da gas e polveri in espansione derivati dall’ esplosione di una supernova , stella collassata sulla sua stessa gravità con masse superiori a 9 volte quella del sole. Oggi notiamo i sempre piu' rarefatti filamenti nebulari fluttuare nel vuoto cosmico che ci regalano immagini stupefacenti per la loro particole bellezza

Wrapping up my final astro adventure of 2024 under the stunning skies of Harvey. Took a 1.5-hour drive south of Perth to scout around Harvey Dam, armed with a few planned shots in mind. Arrived just before twilight to set up, and by 10:30 PM, I was already heading back home—mission (mostly) accomplished.

The wind was relentless that night, and while the tall trees offered some shelter, the dream of capturing those perfect sky reflections on the water? Gone with the breeze. Not everything went to plan, but hey, that’s the beauty of nightscape photography—always keeping you on your toes!

This picture shows the eastern part of one of the most prominent supernova remnants visible in the night sky. In contrast to other types of nebula, which usually take the form of diffuse clouds, supernova remnants show very distinct concentrations of gas in form of threads that sometimes can look like the strokes of a brush in the sky.

SH-2 132 Lion Nebula HOO

 

SH2-132 Lion Nebula has always been an image I wanted to capture and actually look a little like a Lion.

 

Not sure if it made the grade this time but pleased with the colour contrast and details in the Oiii and Ha regions.

 

In this image I made some changes to the editing workflow to leave the colour control and blending to PhotoShop and used PixInsight for the image pre-processing and stacking.

WR 134 is a variable Wolf-Rayet star located around 6,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus, surrounded by a faint bubble nebula blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star. It is just over four times the radius of the sun, but due to a temperature of 63,000 K it is 250,000 times as luminous as the sun. [Wiki]

The Sadr Region (also known as IC 1318 or the Gamma Cygni Nebula) is the diffuse emission nebula surrounding Sadr (γ Cygni) at the center of Cygnus's cross. The Sadr Region is one of the surrounding nebulous regions; others include the Butterfly Nebula and the Crescent Nebula. It contains many dark nebulae in addition to the emission diffuse nebulae.

 

Sadr itself has approximately a magnitude of 2.2. The nebulous regions around the region are also fairly bright.

 

The Crescent Nebula (also known as NGC 6888, Caldwell 27, Sharpless 105) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, about 5000 light-years away from Earth. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1792. It is formed by the fast stellar wind from the Wolf-Rayet star WR 136 (HD 192163) colliding with and energizing the slower moving wind ejected by the star when it became a red giant around 250,000 to 400,000 years ago. The result of the collision is a shell and two shock waves, one moving outward and one moving inward. The inward moving shock wave heats the stellar wind to X-ray-emitting temperatures.

 

It is a rather faint object located about 2 degrees SW of Sadr. For most telescopes it requires a UHC or OIII filter to see. Under favorable circumstances a telescope as small as 8 cm (with filter) can see its nebulosity. Larger telescopes (20 cm or more) reveal the crescent or a Euro sign shape which makes some to call it the "Euro sign nebula".

I recently upgraded my telescope mount to a Celestron CGX. It was about a month later (2023-03-24) when we finally had a clear night that I could try imaging with it. This was from a stack of 91 90 s frames at a focal length of 1530 mm with an Atik 414-EX and Optolong L filter on a Celestron Edge HD. Images were taken from my backyard where I can't see stars fainter than magnitude 3.2 on a good night.

 

Preprocessing in Nebulosity; stacking and intial processing in PixInsight; final touches in Photoshop.

 

I can't wait to get some color and H-alpha data to match up with this.

The North America Nebula (also known as NGC 7000 and C 20) is an emission nebula visible in the constellation Cygnus, near Deneb (the swan's tail and its brightest star). The shape of the nebula outlines the North American continent, especially the east coast, between the Gulf of Mexico and Florida.

First summer #milkyway arch of the season (southern hemisphere)! While I’d planned to capture this earlier, time and conditions weren’t on my side—until now.

 

This shoot was a race against the clock: nightfall began at 9:05 PM, and the moon rose at 10:47 PM, giving me just 1 hour and 42 minutes to frame and shoot 55 long-exposure images for this panorama at 24mm focal length (37mm full-frame equivalent). By keeping exposures to 20 seconds, I managed to nail the pano and even grab two more shots from different angles.

 

The location? Wanagarren Nature Reserve, a sprawling field of grass trees, recently scorched by a massive bushfire. These resilient beauties stand strong against the harshest conditions—even fire. Nature’s true survivors!
