Two months ago, I captured a photo of the Orion Nebula, but the shot was problematic. That’s why I decided to try again on the first day of the year. This time, I used my cooled camera and took 68 photos, each with a 5-minute exposure. I avoided using HDR composition as it introduced too much noise. After processing the images with PixInsight, I made final adjustments in Lightroom.
I love the new result!

The Rosette Nebula is a large spherical H II region located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the constellation of Monoceros . The open cluster NGC 2244 is closely associated with the nebulosity, the stars of the cluster having been formed from the nebula's matter. Ha data imaged on the 18th December 2019 and used as a luminance layer was added to SHO data captured earlier this year.

The Crescent Nebula, NGC6888 or Sharpless 105 is an emission nebula located in the constellation of Cygnus and lies around 5,000 light years distant. It can be described as a cosmic bubble about 25 light-years across, blown by winds from its central, bright, massive star.

Andromeda Galaxy a.k.a. Messier 31
……………..............................................
Andromeda, the largest galaxy in the so-called Local Group of Galaxies to which our galaxy also belongs, is 2.5 million light-years away and can be seen (even with the naked eye) in the constellation Andromeda. As general information, Andromeda is about 1.5 times larger than the Milky Way, with a diameter of 220,000 light-years (compared to the Milky Way which is 120-140,000 light-years in diameter) and contains more than 2 times as many stars. Although the first mention of this celestial object dates from 960, the first to give a more detailed description was the German astronomer Simon Marius, in the 1600s.
It should also be mentioned that Andromeda and the Milky Way are approaching with about 100 miles per second, experts estimate that in about 3-4 billion years the 2 galaxies will collide and thus form a new giant galaxy.

IC 5146, Sharpless 125 or The cocoon nebula is a compact star forming region located in the constellation of Cygnus about 4000 light-years distant. The star in the centre of the nebula is likely to be only a few hundred thousand years old, powering the nebula glow. Imaged over 3 nights, the 20th, 22nd and 27th of April 2020.

M42 in all its glory, this is a composite of two images one for the main part of the nebula and one for the core detail. Pretty pleased with this as it was captured in not the best conditions there was some high cloud when capturing the RGB.
I did capture some data with the luminance filter but never used it as it did not add anything I ended up using the Ha as the luminance layer.

NGC 1333 is a reflection nebula located in the constellation of Perseus. It belongs to the Perseus molecular cloud and is one of the closest star forming regions to us at around 1000 light years. One I must re-visit with one of my refractors as there is so much more detail to be found in this region. Found this one challenging to process. Imaged over 2 nights the 2nd and 26th of October 2019.

Un Pesce Fuor d'acqua??... nooo!! è un delfino nello spazio Cosmico!!...
Forse sono in anticipo nella sua ripresa ,vista la sua posizione rispetto all'orizzonte ancora molto bassa , ma no vedevo l'ora di trovare la condizione ideale per tentare qualche light e capire cosa poteva raccogliere il mio telescopio orientato a sud ,( il luogo piu inquinato della mia visuale , per la presenza delle luci del mio paese). Visto poi che il segnale raccolto con uno scatto mi era sembrato sufficiente ,ho avviato la sessione di scatti e devo dire di non essermi pentito!!
SH2-308 Visibile nella Costellazione del Cane Maggiore , è una Bolla di Gas che avvolge la stella di Wolf Rayet WR6, distante dalla terra circa 5200 anni luce.
Questa nube si è originata circa 70.000 anni fa a causa delle espulsioni di materia perse dalla stella. Il tenue colore acqua marina è dato dalla composizione chimica del gas che costituisce la bolla ,quale l'ossigeno ionizzato. La bollente super massiccia stella Wolf Rayet WR6 , di dimensioni superiori a 20 masse Solari , si presume essere prossima candidata al divenire Supernova!
