Hi all - it's been a while. Apologies for absence and lack of support etc - life been getting in the way.
Having not opened PI for 6+ Months (so be kind :) )I thought I would start with something relatively straightforward to dust the processing down a little, sure there are a few errors. Bits in Spain are taking shape so will have an abundance of data this year, best I get ready for that!
Thanks to SSRO for the great data too.

Rosette Nebula - Narrowband
About to make some tweaks and upgrade the camera on Gus the RH 200 [to a 16200 chip] so working through the test data I have accumulated - here we have a look at the Rosette Nebula in narrow band. The speed of this scope is great and even though short of a few subs I have been able to generate a tidy image with <8hrs data.
The object lends itself to detail so have focused on that while keeping the overall image as clean and tidy as possible.
Hope you enjoy.

I clearly need more data for this one, but this is part of my learning curve for shooting through the Celestron Edge HD 925 with the Nikon D5100. I used a light pollution filter and was shooting at ISO 1600. This is a stack of 30 exposures that were around 55 s in length at a focal length of 2200 mm. I reduced the size of the final image substantially because it was so noisy.
Preprocessing, registration, stacking, and initial processing were done in PixInsight; final touches in Photoshop.
The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as the Apple Core Nebula, M 27, and NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula (nebulosity surrounding a white dwarf) in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1360 light-years. A planetary nebula is a type of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from red giant stars late in their lives. [wikipedia]

In-depth Description:
This is a dynamic looking region of the constellation Auriga where spherical nebulas appear hurled to crash into each other. This image includes the nebulae Sh2-232, Sh2-235, Sh2-231, Sh2-234 and LBN 796, among others, and the open star clusters M38 and M36.
The eyeball looking nebula (Sh2-232) has been mistaken for a planetary nebula, but none of the round or semispherical objects in this image are actually classified as PNs (per Galaxymap and SIMBAD). In fact, the big fuzzy ball in the lower left center (right above cluster M36) does not seem to have any designation at all and is merely a part of the greater nebula LBN 796. A 2012 study suggests that these unusual forms are all part of an expanding shell, the result of an ancient supernova.
These nebulae are all features of a larger molecular cloud located 1800 pc from us. By comparison the two clusters are much closer: M36 (bottom center) is 1330 pc distant, and M38 (center right) lies only 1066 pc away.

Death star.
When an average G-type star like our Sun grows old, it uses up all its hydrogen, begins burning helium and swells up into a red giant. As it uses up its helium it ejects its outer layers, which expand outwards forming what we call a planetary nebula.
The life span of the nebula is relatively short - about 10,000 years.
Left behind is the star’s core, which becomes a white dwarf star, no longer undergoing nuclear fusion. It just radiates its heat away over billions more years until it cools into a black dwarf.
It is believed that the Universe is not yet old enough for black dwarfs to exist.

Been a few weeks since I last processed.
The Helix Nebula is one of those iconic deep sky objects (planetary nebula) that draws you into the hobby.
A lot more difficult to process than I had anticipated! Happy with the result though I will revisit with some much longer exposures for the outer shells.
For those at the International Astronomy Show 2017 I have used both the Lum and the colour stretching approaches I presented.

NGC 6302 is a bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation Scorpius. It is also known the Bug Nebula, Butterfly Nebula, or Caldwell 69.
NGC 6302 resembles a butterfly with its wings outstretched. It is perhaps one of the most complex ever observed planetary nebulae. It has many dramatic areas, some containing roiling cauldrons of superheated gas along the areas resembling wings too thick dust concealing its heart. Superheated gas is moving through space at more than 950 000 kilometres per hour. At that speed, you could travel from the Earth to the Moon in around 24 minutes! Incredible.
The central star is one of the hottest stars known, with a surface temperature in excess of 250,000 degrees Celsius. This suggests that the star must have been enormous.
These cosmic trainwrecks always seem to leave the most beautiful structures in their wake. I created this image using cooled CCD monochromatic astronomical cameras with seven filters. A luminance filter captured most of the detail, followed by red, green, and blue filters to fill cre ate a traditional colour image. I then used SII, Ha, and OIII narrowband for a bit of extra structure and additional hues to balance the shot while trying to retain a traditional RGB colour image.

From an APOD text summary
This pretty cosmic cloud lies some 1,500 light-years away, nested securely within the boundaries of the southern constellation Fornax. Recognized as a planetary nebula, it spans about 3 light-years with its shape and colour being reminiscent of a blue robin's egg. NGC 1360 doesn't represent a beginning though. Instead it corresponds to a brief and final phase in the evolution of an aging star. In fact, visible in this image is the central star of NGC 1360 is known to be a binary star system likely consisting of two evolved white dwarf stars, less massive but much hotter than the Sun. Their intense and otherwise invisible ultraviolet radiation has stripped away electrons from the atoms in the surrounding gaseous shroud. The predominant blue-green hue of NGC 1360 seen here is the strong emission produced as electrons recombine with doubly ionized oxygen atoms.
Thanks for looking.

Planetary nebula HFG1 (PK 136+05)
HFG1 is an old, faint, and thus rarely imaged planetary nebula in Cassiopeia. Its most distinctive feature, the blue bowshock, results from this ball of expanding gas bowling through the interstellar medium at between 29 and 59 kilometers per second, leaving behind a trail of gasses. A planetary nebula forms when a sunlike star reaches the advanced age where it first becomes a bloated red giant star, and then throws off the star’s outer shell of gasses when the core collapses to form a white dwarf star. In the case of HFG1, the central white dwarf star V664 Cas is accompanied by a smaller star that is so close it completes each orbit in only about 14 hours. HFG has expanded for approximately 10,000 years, to the point where the nebula is about one lightyear across.

Another Farewell
Interplanetary Travel
It's time to part. My last day on the snow planet. I have completed my research on the rather cold and quiet planet. I couldn't find any trace of plutonians on this planet. However, it was a different experience for me. It was impossible not to be enchanted by the silence of the planet. However, the fact that it consisted of cold and high mountains made this planet far from being a livable planet. Maybe millions of years ago, there were civilizations that lived on it. But now I could not find any traces of civilization. I have completed my preparations for the planet I will visit next. I will start my space travel soon. As you read this note, I will be floating in outer space on my new course. I placed the rock, dust, water and plant samples I collected from this planet next to the samples I collected from other planets. And again, I left a memory of myself behind. I do this on all the planets I visit. A photo of myself and a sample of my hair. I don't know if anyone will find the box I left. But I will continue to do this anyway. Maybe there is someone looking for me, just as I am looking for the Plutonians. Maybe the reason I do this is because I'm alone.
Thank you for accompanying me on this adventure. We will be together again in the exploration of a new planet. I'm pretty excited for the next planet. I have been observing the next planet I will visit for some time now. The most important finding that excites me is that that planet has an atmosphere that is very suitable for life. And unusual mountains. I can't wait to set foot on that planet and explore. I hope I reach that planet without any problems. See you in new discoveries and new adventures.
Keep following me.

This striking celestial sphere can be found in the Southern Virgo Constellation. It has a bright central star that is getting hotter as it evolves towards its white dwarf phase. It is very bright in the invisible ultraviolet spectrum. The central star has an extremely hot surface that is responsible for ionizing the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the nebula. For us, we get to enjoy a beautiful glowing nebula.
The description or name “Planetary Nebula” has nothing to do with planets. Astronomers in the 18th century noted fuzzy round objects that resembled the familiar gas giants found in our solar system. What they had seen through their telescopes were stars in the final stages of its life. They have blown off much of their outer layers revealing the hotter core. The matter blasted into space glows like a neon sign, creating some of the most beautiful objects we can capture in our instruments.
I love imaging planetary nebula. They have an interesting mix of colours combined with incredible structures of glowing gases. In my mind, they conjure up visions of translucent crystal structures floating against a backdrop of stars and many far off galaxies.

Messier 57 - The Ring Nebula
Credit: NASA/ESA HST, Spitzer ST, Giuseppe Donatiello
RA: 283,387° Dec: 33,026
The Ring Nebula (Messier 57 or NGC 6720) is a planetary nebula in Lyra and it is illuminated by a central white dwarf or planetary nebula nucleus (PNN) of 15.75 visual magnitude.
All the interior parts of this nebula have a blue-green tinge that is caused by the doubly ionized oxygen emission lines at 495.7 and 500.7 nm. In the outer region of the ring, part of the reddish hue is caused by hydrogen emission at 656.3 nm. M57 is an example of the class of planetary nebulae known as bipolar nebulae.
In this composition is all the resolution power of the Hubble Space Telescope. If you download the image and observe it with a good monitor through suitable software, you will be able to see even finer details. The problem is that HST images are rarely published in actual resolution, even NASA and ESA. They are often images rescaled for the web. Also consider that this is also a cutout and uses data from the Spitzer Space Telescope as well.
Here in Cygnus we have 2 Planetary Nebulae, Motch Werner Pakull 1 and ALV1 .
This image has 24hrs each of Ha and O3 along with 6hrs of RGB. Taken in July and August from my observatory in France.
I cant say I m happy with the processing but I really struggled with this one. So many stars obscuring the dim nebula made it very tricky to process.

-------------------------------------------
On Earth, amethysts can form when gas bubbles in lava cool under the right conditions. In space, a dying star with a mass similar to the Sun is capable of producing a structure on par with the appeal of these beautiful gems.
As stars like the Sun run through their fuel, they cast off their outer layers and the core of the star shrinks. Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have found a bubble of ultra-hot gas at the center of one of these expiring stars, a planetary nebula in our galaxy called IC 4593. At a distance of about 7,800 light years from Earth, IC 4593 is the most distant planetary nebula yet detected with Chandra.
This new image of IC 4593 has X-rays from Chandra in purple, invoking similarities to amethysts found in geodes around the globe. The bubble detected by Chandra is from gas that has been heated to over a million degrees. These high temperatures were likely generated by material that blew away from the shrunken core of the star and crashed into gas that had previously been ejected by the star.

This planetary nebula is located right on the border of Taurus and Perseus. It is cataloged as NGC 1514 and is also known as the Crystal Ball Nebula. The magnitude, depending on the source, is listed at 10.9.
Tech Specs: Orion 8" f/8 Ritchey-Chretien Astrograph Telescope, Celestron CGEM-DX pier mounted, ZWO ASI290MC and ASI071MC-Pro, ZWO AAPlus, ZWO EAF. 54 x 60 seconds at -10C plus darks and flats. Image Date: November 4, 2021. Location: The Dark Side Observatory, Weatherly, PA, USA (Bortle Class 4).
The Dumbbell Nebula (Messier 27, M27 or NGC 6853) is a bright planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. It is easily seen in binoculars and wide-field photographs. The central star is an extremely hot blueish subdwarf. The nebula was created by the dying star ejecting a shell of gas into space.
The image is composed of 19-minutes of data (15 second subs at ISO 4000) with additional dark and bias frames. Tech Info: Meade LX90 12” telescope, Antares Focal Reducer, and Canon 6D camera. Imaging was done on July 27, 2016 and I also incorporated some data collected in 2015.

Sharpless 2-188 AKA Simeis 22 or the Dolphin Nebula is an unusual planetary nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. The expanding gas from the planetary nebula is colliding with ambient gas in the interstellar medium. The nebula is nearly circular in shape but is much brighter to the southeast (lowerright) because the central star is moving rapidly in that direction. Faint wisps of gas can also be seen in the opposite direction. It's peskily-faint - so faint that I ended up shooting 30-minute subs at bin 4x4.

The Cat's Eye Nebula also known as NGC 6543 is a planetary nebula in the northern constellation of Draco, discovered by William Herschel in 1786. The bright planetary nebula is the very small central core within the large surrounding outer halo. The difference in brightness between the core and the outer halo makes this a very challenging target to process. Outside the bright inner portion of the nebula, there are a series of concentric rings, thought to have been ejected before the formation of the planetary nebula.

The Helix Nebula is an example of a planetary nebula. Though it looks like a bubble or eye from Earth’s point of view, the Helix is actually a trillion-mile-long tunnel of glowing gases. In its center lies a white dwarf star.

canon 70d , UCH clip in filter
a few notes : my guiding was horrible even though my dec was in the 0.5 range but my Ra was all over the place, my UHC filter did a nice job but i would probably need a minute longer exposure next time, it darkens the background so much that i almost do not have any data in the shadows. overall a nice start to this years astronomy season here in Norway.
