WR 134 is a variable Wolf-Rayet star, a massive star at an advanced stage of stellar evolution and losing mass at a very high rate. It is surrounded by a faint bubble nebula blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star. It is located in the constellation of Cygnus and lies around 6,000 light years distant.
Another image done with short time subs and high gain and imaged whilst the Moon was 95% illuminated.

Cygnus Wall.
.....................
Cygnus Wall is the most visible and interesting part of the well-known North America nebula, located 1500 light-years from us, in the constellation Cygnus. The "wall" is actually an area of stellar dust combined with hydrogen ionized by the radiation of young stars and stretches over a length of about 20 light-years, thus being one of the largest and best known stellar "nurseries".

A test to try out my QHY294C OSC camera as I have just bought the mono version of the same camera but the software on all 4 of my laptops will not recognise the camera. The first laptop I tried with the 294C did not work but the second one did. Will have to find out why this is happening. Maybe a dud camera?

NGC 4631 (aka the Whale Galaxy) is a barred spiral galaxy located in Canes Venatici. In this image I counted five smaller galaxies. The galaxy actually does look like a whale. I think it looks like a Blue whale, considering the length and where the blow hole is located :) .
Image taken using an ZWO 2600MM Pro camera with LRGB Baader filters. The telescope was a Stellarvue 102ED2 mounted on a Celestron CGX mount.
Images were processed in Pixinsight using a variety of processes and scripts. Total integration time was a little over 90 min at a Bortle 4-5 site.

I finally captured some more narrowband data for IC410. It took me a few nights to get the data...an average of 2.6 hours per night is not much...but its better than nothing.
Processing also took me quite a time...but after several attempts, im quite happy with the result.

Thanks for looking.
Using PixInsight astronomy software, I removed the star field around Comet c/2022 E3 for these detailed images of the coma, tail and anti-tail. The right image in the invert of the left for better structure contrast. Taken with 180mm f/2.8 lens, iso 2200, and exposure of 77x105s (2.25 hours integrated time).
Another pass at processing the same collection of shots, to pull more contrast out of the inner and outer structures.
Quite a learning curve with PixInsight....

Messier 27 (M27), also known as the Dumbbell Nebula, is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Vulpecula. It was the first planetary nebula ever discovered, by Charles Messier in 1764. The distance is about 1200 light years from our Earth. Captured at TelescopLive in Spain and Chile. Total exposure is 56 hours of data.
Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex
........................................................
Located at about 500 light-years from Earth, Rho Ophiuchi is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular and colorful parts of the night sky.
Emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, dark nebulae or star clusters, all can be found in this small part of the sky. There is also a star nursery, practically the closest to Earth, and not to forget Antares (in the yellow area of the attached photo), a giant star, 700 times larger than the Sun, and 10,000 times brighter.
A book could be written about this area, so I will stop here with the description. I hope I will be lucky enough to repeat the experience at the next new moon.

Spiral galaxy NGC 6946 and open star cluster NGC 6939 are situated within 1 degree of each other in the constellation Cepheus. While the galaxy is much larger than the cluster, it is also roughly 10,000 times farther away, making them appear about the same size in the sky. This image is a 2 panel mosaic intentionally composed to provide a panoramic perspective.

Centaurus A (NGC 5128) is a nearby elliptical galaxy about 13 million light-years away. It features a dark dust lane and a powerful radio source, likely from a past galaxy merger fueling its supermassive black hole. Here captured from Chile with TelescopeLive and processed by Jan Zettergren

Here's a part of the Virgo Cluster it's pretty mind blowing at how many Galaxies are within this image
The Virgo Cluster is a large cluster of galaxies. Comprising approximately 1300 (and possibly up to 2000) member galaxies, the cluster forms the heart of the larger Virgo Supercluster, of which the Local Group (containing our Milky Way galaxy) is a member. The Local Group actually experiences the mass of the Virgo Supercluster as the Virgocentric flow.
