De SkySafari Plus: el cúmulo M45 es uno de los objetos más prominente en el cielo nocturno, que dio lugar a leyendas en la mitología antigua. Se mencionan en la Iliada y la Odisea, la Biblia, por los persas, los japoneses que lo denominaron Subaru, de donde vino el nombre de la marca de automóviles. El nombre de Pléyades viene de su madre mitológica, Pléyone, y el nombre de las siete estrellas más brillante proviene de las siete hermanas de la mitología griega.
A simple vista pueden verse las seis o siete estrellas más brillantes. Alrededor de las estrellas están las nebulosas de color azul, que se produce al reflejar las estrellas más brillantes del cúmulo, lo que se confirma al ver que los espectros de las estrellas y las nebulosas coinciden.
El cúmulo de estrellas solamente está pasando a través de la nebulosa y difieren en su origen. En total, está compuesto por más de 1000 estrellas. Se estima que se originó hace unos 100 millones de años. Las estrellas rotan con velocidades entre 150 y 300 km/s, algo común para estrellas jóvenes de la clase B.
Con el tiempo, el cúmulo será visible cerca de la constelación de Orión, después de lo que tardará unos 250 millones de años en dispersarse.

A full arch Milky Way shot at North Frontenac Dark Sky Preserve in Ardoch, Ontario. The is my version 2 of a previously posted image. Composed of 28 panels for the sky and 6 panels for the landscape. I completely restacked and reprocessed these panels in Pixinsight with calibration frames.
Backstory:
I have been trying to photograph the full arch of the Milky Way ever since I began astrophotography 3 seasons ago and all attempts have ended in failure, until this week.
My two astro-buddies and I drove 2 hours west of Ottawa in the early morning hours to get to the North Frontenac Dark Sky Preserve in Ardoch, Ontario, in time for a 3:30 am setup in -20 degree Celsius temps to be ready to shoot from 4:30 - 5:30 am. After a successful photo-shoot, an artery-clogging trucker's breakfast in Carleton Place was the perfect ending to an awesome photo shoot under the stars!
Regarding the footprints:
I really lucked out with this one. My two buddies and I were cramped together on a helipad to the left and our red night lights were getting in each other's shots. So before the shoot I ventured out into the field and walked towards the fence to try to find a more secluded position. Then, just before sun up I shot a few quick landscape panorama shots and as it turned out my footprints from an hour before were just perfect to add interest to the scene! Not planned, just lucky!

De Sky Safari:
La nebulosa Cabeza de Caballo (Horse head nebula), conocida también como Barnard 33, es una pequeña nebulosa oscura que contrasta contra la nebulosa roja de emisión IC 434.
Fue registrada por primera vez en una fotografía en el Observatorio de Harvard College en 1888 y fue incluida en el catálogo de Barnard en 1919. Dentro de la “cabeza” existen manchas rojas que son protoestrellas en proceso de formación.
La región entera está iluminada por la estrella brillante OB Sigma Orionis, que es responsable de la ionización del hidrógeno, produciendo su característico color rojizo.
A la izquierda de la imagen se ve la nebulosa de la Llama (NGC 2024), que está a unos 900 años luz, es decir algo más de la mitad de la distancia a la que se encuentra la cabeza de caballo. En ella se aprecian bandas oscuras. Está ionizada por la estrella Alnitak, que es la estrella más brillante de la imagen y la más oriental del cinturón de Orión. Se estima que unas 10 estrellas están dentro de la nebulosa.
En la foto también se pueden ver otros objetos como cuatro galaxias muy pequeñas (PGC) y diferentes nebulosas adicionales (IC y NGC).

From Wiki: NGC 281, IC 11 or Sh2-184 is a bright emission nebula in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia and is part of the Milky Way's Perseus Spiral Arm. This 20×30 arcmin sized nebulosity is also associated with open cluster IC 1590, several Bok globules and the multiple star, B 1. It collectively forms Sh2-184, spanning over a larger area of 40 arcmin. A recent distance from radio parallaxes of water masers at 22 GHz made during 2014 is estimated it lies 2.82±0.20 kpc. (9200 ly.) from us. Colloquially, NGC 281 is also known as the Pacman Nebula for its resemblance to the video game character.

Taken 6 to 10 August 2022 on consecutive nights, a wide field of the Cygnus region containing The Tulip, Crescent, Soap Bubble, WR 134 and Sh2-104 Nebulae. This image comprises 18hrs of capture of narrowband Sii, Ha, and Oiii plus LRGB for the stars. So many elements in this image to bring out in processing, starting from scratch 5 times now, but this is the finished version for now anyway. Whilst there are many individual nebulae in this image, a few of the more identifiable due to structure are listed below.
The Tulip Nebula – Sh2-101 The emission from the Tulip Nebula is powered by ultraviolet radiation of the hot young star HD 227018. The O6.5III class star belongs to the Cygnus OB3 association and has a visual magnitude of 9.02. In images, it can be seen near the nebula’s centre.
The Soap Bubble Nebula, or PN G75 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus, near the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888). It was discovered by amateur astronomer Dave Jurasevich using an Astro-Physics 160 mm refractor telescope with which he imaged the nebula on June 19, 2007 and on July 6, 2008. Can you see it? It is underneath the Crescent Nebula, a little to the left in this image.
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 five times the radius of the sun, but due to a temperature over 63,000 K it is 400,000 times as luminous as the Sun.
NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula, is about 25 light-years across blown by winds from its central, bright, massive star. The oxygen atoms produce the blue hue that seems to enshroud the detailed folds and filaments. Visible within the nebula, NGC 6888's central star is classified as a Wolf-Rayet star (WR 136). The star is shedding its outer envelope in a strong stellar wind, ejecting the equivalent of the Sun's mass every 10,000 years.
Sh2-104 is a very faint emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. This is located due east of the popular Crescent Nebula. Sh2-104 is viewed by professional astronomers as a good illustration of the "collect and collapse" model of star formation triggered by the rapid expansion of a Helium II region.

Officially named NGC 281, IC 11 or Sh2-184, the nebula is popularly named the Pacman Nebula for its resemblance to Pac-Man, the character in the popular 1980s maze video game. A dark dust lane forms the Pac-Man’s mouth.
The Pacman Nebula is a bright emission nebula and part of an H II region in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. It is part of the Milky Way's Perseus Spiral Arm, lies approximately 9,200 light years from Earth and stretches 48 light years across.
The nebula is a star-forming region that contains young stars, large dark dust lanes and Bok globules. Bok globules are small, dense dark nebulae packed with material from which new stars are formed.

En la constelación Cepheus , la impresionante nebulosa de emisión IC 1396 mezcla el gas cósmico brillante y las nubes oscuras de polvo. Esta región de formación estelar , excitada por la estrella brillante y azulada que hay en el centro, se extiende cientos de años luz, abarca más de tres grados en el cielo y se encuentra a unos 3.000 años luz del planeta Tierra.
Entre las intrigantes formas oscuras de IC 1396, arriba en el centro, está la sinuosa nebulosa de la Trompa de Elefante.
La Nebulosa de la Trompa de Elefante es una concentración de interestelar gas y polvo dentro de la región de gas ionizado mucho más grande IC 1396 ubicada en la constelación Cefeo alrededor de 2.400 años luz lejos de la Tierra. La pieza de la nebulosa aquí se muestra el glóbulo denso y oscuro IC 1396A; Se la denomina comúnmente nebulosa de la Trompa de Elefante debido a su apariencia en longitudes de onda de luz visible, donde hay una mancha oscura con un borde sinuoso y brillante.
Ahora se cree que la Nebulosa de la Trompa de Elefante es un sitio de formación estelar, que contiene varias estrellas muy jóvenes (menos de 100.000 años) que fueron descubiertas en imágenes infrarrojas en 2003. Dos mayores (pero aún jóvenes, un par de millones de años) estándares de estrellas, que viven miles de millones de años) las estrellas están presentes en una pequeña cavidad circular en la cabeza del glóbulo.

Se me ha quemado el núcleo de la nebulosa así que tendré que volver a realizar la toma bajando la ISO a 800, a ver si así aguanta.
La nebulosa de Orión forma parte de una inmensa nube de gas y polvo llamada nube de Orión, que se extiende por el centro de la constelación de Orión y que contiene también el bucle de Barnard, la nebulosa Cabeza de Caballo, la nebulosa de De Mairan, la nebulosa M78 y la nebulosa de la Flama. Se forman estrellas a lo largo de toda la nebulosa, desprendiendo gran cantidad de energía térmica, y por ello el espectro que predomina es el infrarrojo.
La nebulosa de Orión es una de las pocas nebulosas que pueden observarse a simple vista, incluso en lugares con cierta contaminación lumínica. Se trata del punto luminoso situado en el centro de la región de la Espada (las tres estrellas situadas al sur del cinturón de Orión), y debajo de la estrella iota de Orión ( para los habitantes del hemisferio sur terrestre ). que los astrónomos árabes llamaron Nair al Saif que en español significa : "La Espada Luminosa". A simple vista, la nebulosa aparece borrosa, pero con telescopios sencillos, o simplemente con prismáticos, la nebulosa se observa con bastante nitidez.
La nebulosa de Orión contiene un cúmulo abierto de reciente formación denominado cúmulo del Trapecio, debido al asterismo de sus cuatro estrellas principales. Dos de ellas pueden observarse como estrellas binarias en noches con poca perturbación atmosférica, efecto denominado seeing, lo que hace un total de seis estrellas. Las estrellas del cúmulo del Trapecio acaban de formarse, son muy jóvenes, y forman parte de un masivo cúmulo estelar con una masa calculada en 4500 masas solares dentro de un radio de 2 parsecs llamado cúmulo de la nebulosa de Orión, una agrupación de aproximadamente 2000 estrellas y con un diámetro de 20 años luz. Este cúmulo podría haber contenido hace 2 millones de años a varias estrellas fugitivas, entre ellas AE Aurigae, 53 Arietis, o Mu Columbae, las cuales se mueven en la actualidad a velocidades cercanas a los 100 km/s.
Los observadores se han percatado de que la nebulosa posee zonas verdosas, además de algunas regiones rojas y otras azuladas con tintes violetas. La tonalidad roja se explica por la emisión de una combinación de líneas de radiación del hidrógeno, Hα, con una longitud de onda de 656,3 nanómetros. El color azul-violeta es el reflejo de la radiación de las estrellas de tipo espectral O (muy luminosas y de colores azulados) sobre el centro de la nebulosa. El color verdoso supuso un auténtico quebradero de cabeza para los astrónomos durante buena parte de comienzos del siglo XX, ya que ninguna de las líneas espectrales conocidas podía explicar el fenómeno. Se especuló que estas líneas eran causadas por un elemento totalmente nuevo, y a dicho elemento teórico se le acuñó el nombre de «nebulium». Más tarde, cuando ya se poseía mayor profundidad en el conocimiento de la física de los átomos, se llegó a la conclusión de que dicho espectro verdoso era causado por la transición de un electrón sobre un átomo de oxígeno doblemente ionizado. Sin embargo, este tipo de radiación es imposible de reproducir en los laboratorios, ya que depende de un medio con unas características concretas solo existentes en las entrañas del espacio.

A reboot with new data of a target I have previously looked at.
The previous target was pretty but I felt it lacked all the detail the target had to offer so added an additional 30 HA subs from the RH to help realise that. Small percentages but makes a lot of difference when reviewed in detail.
It also allowed me to resolve the ICC mismatch issues my PC suffered after recent updates which caused all sorts of issues on my last image!
NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus. The complex encompasses the emission region designated Sharpless 171, and the young cluster of stars named Berkeley 59. The complex is believed to be some 800-1000 pc distant, with the younger components aged no more than a few million years. The complex also includes one of the hottest stars discovered within 1 kpc of the Sun, namely BD+66 1673, which is an eclipsing binary system consisting of an O5V that exhibits a surface temperature of nearly 45000 K and a luminosity ~100000 times that of the Sun.

My mount was polar aligned with SharpCap (what an amazing system for aligning). I then mounted my a7RIII and adapted Nikon 500mm f/4 P Ai-s lens to the top rail of my scope. I used SharpCap to achieve "excellent" polar alignment. I shot ISO 3200, f/4 and 181" exposures. Image frames were stacked and integrated and processed in PixInsight using: STF, Cropping, Dynamic Background Extraction, BlurXTerminator, plate solving, color correction, NoiseXTerminator and then the DSO was separated from the stars, and both files processed and stretched separately and then recombined using PixelMath. That file was brought into Lightroom for Metadata and EXIF tags, light post-processing, and cropping to the final image.

This scene features a trio of interacting galaxies found in the constellation of Virgo, being some 70-90 million light years away from Earth. The largest galaxy in the group is NGC 5566, which is a barred spiral galaxy stretching nearly 150,000 light years in diameter. Having widely sweeping spiral arms, with dark dusty lanes, these arms are speckled with new star forming regions throughout. The elongated galaxy to the left of NGC 5566 is the heavily distorted NGC5560. You can just see faint dusty interconnections between NGC 5560 and NGC 5566, providing us some clues that these are in fact interacting. The lower blueish galaxy NGC5569 does not appear to be disturbed, and maybe placed slightly in the foreground.
In the darkness of the surrounding space, the speckled background indicates a sea of background objects, all being in the significant distance.
