Comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko as it appeared on the night of November 2-3, 2021 in a good return near Earth, after its previous return in 2014-2015 when it was visited by the European Space Agency's Rosetta probe and Philae lander. The comet was faint — about 10th magnitude at this time, but did show a small tail on the photo and a typical cyan glow to its coma. The comet was in Gemini at this time. This is a Jupiter-family comet with a period of 6.45 years.

This is a clip from a larger image showing the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888, Sharpless 105) located in the constellation Cygnus. Just trying to figure out how much detail can be captured using the Williams Optics REDCAT on a wide field image. The Crescent Nebula is about 5,000 light years away from Earth. The Crescent Nebula was formed by the central star shedding its outer layers. According to NASA, “Burning fuel at a prodigious rate and near the end of its stellar life this star should ultimately go out with a bang in a spectacular supernova explosion”.

La Nebulosa di Orione (nota anche come Messier 42 o M 42, NGC 1976) è una delle nebulose diffuse più brillanti del cielo notturno. Chiaramente riconoscibile ad occhio nudo come un oggetto di natura non stellare, è posta a sud del famoso asterismo della Cintura di Orione,[6] al centro della cosiddetta Spada di Orione, nell'omonima costellazione.
Posta ad una distanza di circa 1270 al dalla Terra,[2] si estende per circa 24 anni luce[5] ed è la regione di formazione stellare più vicina al Sistema solare. Vecchie pubblicazioni si riferiscono a questa nebulosa col nome di Grande Nebulosa, mentre più anticamente i testi astrologici riportavano lo stesso nome della stella Eta Orionis, Ensis (la spada), che però si trova in un'altra parte della costellazione.[7] Si tratta di uno degli oggetti più fotografati e studiati della volta celeste,[8] ed è sotto costante controllo a causa dei fenomeni celesti che hanno luogo al suo interno; gli astronomi hanno scoperto nelle sue regioni più interne dischi protoplanetari, nane brune e intensi movimenti di gas e polveri.
La Nebulosa di Orione contiene al suo interno un ammasso aperto molto giovane, noto come Trapezio.[9] Le osservazioni con i più potenti telescopi (specialmente il Telescopio spaziale Hubble) hanno rivelato molte stelle circondate da anelli di polveri, probabilmente il primo stadio della formazione di un sistema planetario.
La nebulosa è stata riconosciuta come tale nel 1610 da un avvocato francese, Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637),[10] anche se, date le dimensioni e la luminosità, era certamente conosciuta anche in epoche preistoriche. Tolomeo la identificava come una stella della spada di Orione, di magnitudine 3.

La Nebulosa del Capullo, catalogada como IC 5146, es una nebulosa de gran belleza situada a unos 4.000 años luz de distancia, en la constelación del Cisne.
Dentro de la nebulosa hay un nuevo cúmulo abierto de estrellas en pleno desarrollo. Al igual que otras guarderías estelares, la nebulosa del Capullo es, al mismo tiempo, una nebulosa de emisión, de reflexión y de absorción. Algunas especulaciones basadas en medidas recientes sostienen que la estrella masiva en el centro de la fotografía abrió un agujero en la nube molecular existente, a través del cual fluye gran parte del material que resplandece.

This image shows a molecular cloud field in constellation Pegasus. This molecular cloud takes the shape of ghostly wisps, is located just outside our own galaxy and is called IFN - integrated flux nebula. This means that they reflect the combined luminosity of the stars in our galaxy and are, therefore, made visible.
But lurking in “between” these clouds, several galaxies are visible, being the largest one NGC 7497, located at about 60 million light years - a closer look will allow us to identify some of them. Despite appearances, these are located much farther than MBM54, which is at about 1,000 light years away.
This landscape has been on my target list for almost 8 months and only now it shows on the right position to photograph. But I also had the luck of being on a dark site during New Moon which helped tremendously. Astrophotography is indeed a hobby of patience and also some luck.

NGC 7293 is a bright planetary nebula, and one of the most recognizable and iconic deep sky objects in the sky through photography (thanks to Hubble)!

The California Nebula, catalog number NGC 1499, owes its name to its resemblance to its American state counterpart.
It is a diffuse nebula more than 100 light years long located in the constellation of Perseus, in the outer part of the Orion arm of our galaxy about 1000 light years from the solar system. The region is extremely rich in ionized hydrogen, which makes it an area of high star formation, with stars that have a mass even 50 times greater than the Sun.
In this image I used the technique made famous by NASA with its Hubble Space Telescope called SHO or Hubble Palette.
This technique involves the use of interference filters which serve to isolate the three elements of which the emission nebulae are composed.
Ionized oxygen (Blue color)
Ionized hydrogen (Green color)
Ionized sulfur (yellow orange color)
I tried to keep the palette as scientifically faithful as possible in order to make the separation of the three physical elements evident at the expense of the artistic rendering, so I kept the green tones and a bit of magenta on the stars.

47 Tucanae (NGC 104) ou apenas 47 Tuc é um aglomerado globular situado na constelação de Tucana. Está a de cerca de 16 700 anos-luz de distância da Terra, e tem 120 anos-luz de diâmetro. Pode ser visto a olho nu, e é brilhante o suficiente para ganhar uma designação de Flamsteed com uma magnitude visual de 4,0. É apenas uma de um pequeno número de características com essa designação do céu do sul.
47 Tucanae foi descoberto por Nicolas Louis de Lacaille em 1751; a sua localização muito ao sul tem escondido de observadores europeus até então. O aglomerado aparece aproximadamente com o tamanho da lua cheia no céu em condições ideais.
É o segundo aglomerado globular mais brilhante no céu (depois de Omega Centauri), e é conhecido por ter um núcleo muito brilhante e denso. Ele tem de 22 pulsares milisegundos conhecidos, e pelo menos 21 estrelas retardatárias azuis (blue stragglers) perto do centro.[4]
47 Tucanae está incluído no Catálogo Caldwell de Sir Patrick Moore como C106.
NGC 104 concorre com NGC 5139 (Omega Centauri) para o título: O mais esplêndido Aglomerado Globular no céu. NGC 104 tem duas características em seu favor. Ele é arredondado e tem um centro mais compacto. No entanto, devido à localização, mais observadores vão para NGC 5139.

Happy New Year to you all !
Messier 45, also known as the Pleiades or Seven Sisters, is a bright open star cluster located in the constellation Taurus. The Pleiades cluster lies at an average distance of 444 light years from Earth.
M45 contains a number of hot, blue, extremely luminous stars and is one of the nearest star clusters to Earth. It is the easiest object of its kind to see without binoculars.
M45 has a core radius of 8 light years and its tidal radius extends to about 43 light years. The total mass of M45 is estimated at about 800 solar masses.
At the end of October, I had 2 almost clear nights, and decided to spend it on the Pleiades, as last year the weather didn't allow it.
I was really not happy with framing from the first night (some "recentering" issues after the Meridian Flip), so I took the right panel during the second night. A bit overkilled I know :p
I had to drop a lot of my subs (+/- 50%) due to clouds, so the Exposure Time is not as I wanted.
Best Wishes & Clear Skies :)
Sadr (Gamma Cygni) is the center star of the Northern Cross and is about 1,800 ly from earth. Its solar mass is 12.11 times that of the Sun, so it is destined to be a supernova someday. The nebulosity and dust clouds that appear to surround it are actually 4,900 ly away, so they do not interact with Sadr. The open cluster NGC 6910 is just to the right of Sadr.

Lying at a distance of around 30 million Light Years from us in the Constellation of Andromeda and classed as an edge on unbarred Spiral Galaxy, a popular target for both professional and Amateur Astro Imagers, as I had not captured this target since 2010 I have long awaited recapturing. I am very pleased with the results using the QHY16200, binning 2x2 I expected ,
Captured from my backyard observatory in Western Michigan on Friday evening the 2nd September 2016 using the 12” RC and the new QHY16200 Monochrome CCD with LRGB Filters for a total integration time of 3.3 hours. For the first time ever I captured all of the LRGB data binned 2x2 and I’m very pleased to see the data has very little noise while using this lower resolution.

Meu primeiro registro da galáxia Centaurus A. No processamento dessa galáxia, utilizei muito o software PixInsight. Estou em fase inicial no aprendizado para o uso desse software, havendo ainda muito a aprender e a melhorar, inclusive para maior aproveitamento dos tempos totais de exposição realizados em cada alvo. No caso desse registro, os frames empilhados, captados em dois dias consecutivos, somam 8 horas e 40 minutos totais de exposição.
"Centaurus A é uma galáxia peculiar localizada na constelação Centaurus. É a quinta galáxia mais brilhante do céu noturno, a galáxia gigante mais próxima da Via Láctea e uma das rádio-galáxias mais próximas da Terra. Seu tipo exato é incerto, mas geralmente é classificada como uma galáxia elíptica gigante ou lenticular. A distância exata da galáxia à Terra também é incerta, mas as estimativas geralmente variam de 10 a 16 milhões de anos-luz". Fonte: constellation-guide.com

This was is an image created from two sessions a month apart, at different locations, with different telescopes: A Vixen ED80SF (July HaOiii) and a Tele Vue NP101is(August, SiiOiii). This was first light on the Tele Vue NP101is. Since they had different resolutions I had to go to astronometry.net to get the proper orientation and the center coordinates from the July HaOiii image. I plugged these coordinates into NINAs target instruction set for the SiiOiii image in August. In Pixinsight I used Star Alignment to do final alignment between the images out of WBPP before processing through Pixinsight.
