Imaged two nights short of full moon, when the moon was so bright barely a handful of stars were visible in a clear sky. The moon was casting bright shadows- didn't need a headtorch to see what I was doing it was so bright!
Normally would not have bothered to image a deep space object on such a night but it has been over a month since we last had a clear sky so had a go with low expectations of decent returns- as it turns out rightly so.
50 minutes of integration -10 minutes subs
must say i am surprised to salvage an image even if it's not great given the conditions so while the L extreme filter does create ugly halos around stars at least it does a good job of cutting through bright moonlight

First image completed with my new camera and considering it represents just six hours total integration I'm pretty pleased with it. For an uncooled camera with just 8.3 megapixels the Player One Uranus C is a quality piece of kit. Teamed with my William Optics Whitecat telescope, Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro mount and Optolong L-eNhance filter in my Bortle 6/7 backyard. Processing was carried out using Deep Sky Stacker, Pixinsight and Affinity Photo.
The Orion Nebula, Messier 42 or NGC 1976 is a diffuse nebula situated just below Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky and is the closest region of massive star formation to us. It lies at a distance of 1,344 light years.
Imaged over 5 nights, the 24th Nov.2023, 12th,13th,14th and 17th.Jan.2024.

IC 405 (Flaming Star)
Day to day we go through life in a daze going from one task to the next not fully realizing anything beyond ourselves. Every once in a while someone hears something, reads something or looks up at the sky and realizes that there is much more then the mundane. much more to learn to feel to see then we could ever imagine. The universe is so vast yet potentially impermanent our solar system earth and lives certainly are as far as we know there is sometimes a sense of insignificance. However, the realization that the very atoms in our bodies came form birthing and dying of stars from nebulae like the one I am sharing today give a great sense of connection and that we are playing a part... of the unfolding. Enjoy!

From Wikipedia:IC 405 (also known as the Flaming Star Nebula, SH 2-229, or Caldwell 31) is an emission and reflection nebula in the constellation Auriga north of the celestial equator, surrounding the bluish, irregular variable star AE Aurigae. It shines at magnitude +6.0. Its celestial coordinates are RA 05h 16.2m dec +34° 28′. It is located near the emission nebula IC 410, the open clusters M38 and M36, and the K-class star Iota Aurigae.The nebula measures approximately 37.0' x 19.0', and lies about 1,500 light-years away from Earth. It is believed that the proper motion of the central star can be traced back to the Orion's Belt area. The nebula is about 5 light-years across.

Lunar Landing Sites in the Region of the Taurus Mountains and Mare Serenitatis
This photo, which spans a region roughly 980 mi. by 460 mi., shows a portion of the Moon between Julius Caesar Crater (bottom center) and the pair, Hercules and Atlas Craters at upper left. The sweep of the images is from southwest at bottom to northeast at top. The shadowed day-night terminator is in the lower left near Julius Caesar, while the upper portions are fully illuminated. The upper portions are heavily cratered and mountainous, making them highly reflective, whereas the lower portions are smoother and covered by darker lava flows.
The lower right is filled with the dark lava plain Mare Tranquillitatis. Near the center, Mare Tranquillitatis joins with Mare Serenitatis. The strait separating these two lunar “seas” is marked on the left by a point of mountainous terrain known as Promontorium Archerusia, an extension of the Montes Haemus, and on the right by the Taurus Mountains. Between these two areas of high ground can be found the crater Plinius. Take note of the different shades of the mare material between Mare Tranquillitatis and Mare Serenitatis, and within each of the maria themselves. These mark areas of lava flows having different ages and compositions.
At the upper right, opposite Hercules and Atlas craters is the similarly-sized Geminus Crater with its terraced walls and central peak. A pair of craters, Cepheus and Franklin, can be seen below the top center.
The arc of the Taurus Mountains marking the northern and eastern border of Mare Serenitatis has several noteworthy features, two of which are historic in nature. At the upper end of the arc, left of center is the large Posidonius Crater. At the center right, near the opposite side of the strait from Promontorium Archerusia is a mountainous area. Looking closely you might see a linear arrangement of three peaks, arranged horizontally in this photo, that look to me like Egyptian pyramids. Immediately above the second of these “pyramids” (actually 8,000’ tall mountains) is a small, four-mile-wide valley. This is the Taurus-Littrow Valley (RED PLUS MARK on the right image). This is where Man last walked on the Moon. The recently-deceased Eugene Cernan piloted the Challenger Landing Module into this rugged niche, this valley, deeper and narrower than the Grand Canyon. I look at this landing site and marvel at the courage and skill required to achieve this. Eugene Cernan was the last man on the Moon, an honor he sincerely wished to pass on to another before he died. This mission was also notable for the amount of scientific information gleaned regarding the age and formation of Mare Serenetatis and the ways in which later impact events a thousand miles away from the valley (the Imbrian event and the Tycho Crater impact) reshaped the landscape of the region. The geologist astronaut Harrison Schmitt was key to the scientific success of this mission.
Midway between Posidonius Crater and the Taurus-Littrow Valley is where the Soviet Union landed the Luna 21 unmanned spacecraft. This occurred in the horseshoe embayment of Mare Serenitatis into the Taurus Mountain arc known as Le Monnier crater (YELLOW PLUS MARK). The Luna 21 mission landed a little more than a month after Apollo 17. The Lunokhod 2 Rover deployed shortly after touchdown, and travelled the area of Le Monnier Crater until May 9, 1973. Its navigation about the lunar surface was aided by photos given to a lead Soviet engineer by an American scientist, photos obtained prior to the Apollo 17 landing.

NGC 457 The Owl Cluster Taken With William Optics Zenithstar 81
NGC 457 (also known as the Owl Cluster, the ET Cluster, or Caldwell 13) is an open star cluster in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1787, and lies over 7,900 light years away from the Sun. It has an estimated age of 21 million years. ... The cluster features a rich field of about 150 stars of magnitudes 12-15. (Wikipedia.org)
Technical Information for This Image
This image was taken with a William Optics Zenithstar 81 APO Doublet Refractor on an iOptron CEM25P mount. This telescope is a very compact unit and has optical elements made of FPL53 glass and is actually considerably sharper than some of my larger telescopes. The main imaging camera, attached to the prime focus of the telescope was a ZWO ASI294MC Pro cooled camera which was cooled to -5C. The 61 exposures were each 120 seconds, and the gain was set to 120. An Optolong L-Pro filter was used in capturing the exposures. Auto guiding was done using a Skywatcher EVO Guide 50mm refractor attached to a ZWO ASI290MC camera which was connected to PHD2 autoguiding software. Capturing was done with Astrophotography Tool (APT) software and post processed with Pixinsight software with finishing touches put in using Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud. Polar Alignment for the evening was done using SharpCap software.
In the Orion constellation, the Witch Head, hypnotized by Rigel.
The Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118) is a faint reflection nebula illuminated by Rigel, a blue supergiant star. This nebula Is around 1000 light-years away, and probably the remnant of an ancient supernova.

The Owl Nebula (also known as Messier 97, M97 or NGC 3587) is a starburst ("planetary") nebula approximately 2,030 light years away in the northern constellation Ursa Major. The estimated age of the Owl Nebula is about 8,000 years. It is approximately circular in cross-section with faint internal structure. It was formed from the outflow of material from the stellar wind of the central star as it evolved along the asymptotic giant branch. The nebula is arranged in three concentric shells/envelopes, with the outermost shell being about 20–30% larger than the inner shell. A mildly owl-like appearance of the nebula is the result of an inner shell that is not circularly symmetric, but instead forms a barrel-like structure aligned at an angle of 45° to the line of sight.
The nebula holds about 0.13 solar masses (M☉) of matter, including hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur; all with a density of less than 100 particles per cubic centimeter. Its outer radius is around 0.91 ly (0.28 pc) and it is expanding with velocities in the range of 27–39 km/s into the surrounding interstellar medium.
The 14th magnitude central star has passed an apex of its evolution so is condensing to form a white dwarf. It has 55% to 60% of solar mass, is 41 to 148 times solar luminosity (L☉),[4] and has an effective temperature of 123,000 K. The star has been successfully resolved by the Spitzer Space Telescope as a point source that does not show the infrared excess characteristic of a circumstellar disk.
