It took me three short summer nights to capture this image with the Moon at 96% Ha (5:50), 99% OIII (5:20), and 100% RGB (3x1:20), for 15h10 in total.

The small planetary nebula is PN A66 69, located on the left in the upper half of the image.

I was trying out some new equipment tonight and figured the Moon would make a good target. This is a mosaic built from 11 tiles taken through an Optolong blue filter with a ZWO ASI120MM with a Celestron Edge HD 925. Seeing was maybe 2 or 3 out of 5 -- not a great night for detail work. SER files were 1000 frames each, and each tile used between 225 and 350 of the best frames. FireCapture was used for acquisition and AutoStakkert for stacking. Tiles were processed in PixInsight first, then composited in Photoshop. A few small touch ups in each of those programs gave this final result.

NGC 6992 is part of the Veil Nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. It is part of the eastern edge of this supernova remnant. The source supernova exploded some 5,000 to 8,000 years ago, and the remnants have since expanded to cover an area of 3 degrees; about 6 times the size of a full moon. The distance to the nebula is not precisely known, with estimates ranging from 1,400 to 2,600 light-years.

I was not satisfied with my previous (first) version of M101 and thought there should be more "fire" in the galaxy. So I took a whole afternoon, the LRGB stacks and Pixinsight to process the data again. I may have overdone it a bit with the saturation.. a matter of taste :)

NGC 281 ... commonly known as the Pacman Nebula because of its vague resemblance to the famous video game character ... is an emission nebula found in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. Discovered in 1883 by Edward Emerson Barnard, it is approximately 9000 light years from earth.

 

This is the result of 900 ten second images taken with the Seestar telescope ... stacked and processed in PixInsight, Nik Collection plugin for Photoshop, and Topaz software.

Andromeda Galaxy is an island universe that lies some two million light years from our own Milky Way Galaxy. I think of my imaging system as a time machine that captured this object as it appeared two million years ago. If it is still there, I wonder what it looks like now.

 

This is an LRGB image that is augmented with Ha data to highight the star forming regions, which appear as reddish blotches in the spiral arms of the galaxy. The preliminary LRGB and Ha data that comprise this image were uploaded on November 1st and 12th, respectively.

 

60-second subframe exposures were taken in LRGB and HDRMT was used in PixInsight processing to minimize saturation in the bright galactic center.
