The North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). The shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico.
The North America Nebula covers a region more than ten times the area of the full moon, but its surface brightness is low, so normally it cannot be seen with the unaided eye.
The portion of the nebula resembling Mexico and Central America is known as the Cygnus Wall. This region exhibits the most concentrated star formation.
In 2020, the Gaia astrometry spacecraft measured the distances to 395 stars lying within the HII region, giving the North America and Pelican nebulae a distance of 2,590 light years. The entire HII region Sh2-117 is estimated to be 140 light years across, and the North America nebula stretches 90 light years north to south.

Minha primeira captura da Estação Espacial Internacional - EEI (International Space Station - ISS). A passagem foi hoje em Brasília, com magnitude estimada em -4.2! Gostei do resultado, pra uma primeira vez.
A EEI quando passa no pôr ou no nascer do sol em um certo ângulo, reflete a luz nos observadores terrestres, assim como outros satélites. Quando isso ocorre, vemos seu reflexo no céu como uma estrela em movimento. Com câmeras de alta velocidade e Telescópios com alta ampliação, podemos fazer calturas como essas diretamente de casa! Na imagem é possível distinguir os painéis solares e seus módulos.
Para a foto foi utilizado um Telescópio William Optics Zenithstar 66mm SD e uma câmera ASI290mc em foco primário. Captura com Sharpcap, melhores frames selecionados no PIPP, empilhamento no autostakkert e processamento no registax.

Image taken with an unmodified Philips SPC900NC webcam (other than the raw software mod), data sourced from 15 minutes of light frames, and 15 minutes of dark frames. Video shot at 5fps maximum exposure. Videos captured using Sharpcap, split up into 1GB size files using VirtualDub. Aviraw used to decode raw format, and compose into 40 second chunks to give around 20 light frames and 20 dark frames. DeepSkyStacker then used to compose these dark and light frames into a single FTS image. GIMP used for post processing.
I'm fairly pleased with the results for such a cheap camera, but the low aperture of the webcam requires a long exposure compared to images taken with a DSLR. I'd like to try this technique again but next time take footage over a longer period (e.g. 1hr.) I'd like to also try and get the images in colour - if I remember correctly AviRaw would only (for some reason) save the debayered images in black and white. If I defer debayering duties to DeepSkyStacker I should get full colour.

I have mistreated my telescope over the last few months and have left it open and unused since Christmas. The mount is now falling apart, the finder scope has become very loose and the whole activity has become harder.
That said I gave it an outing this Easter and tried taking Mars. In fact this is the first time I've viewed Mars for a long time. I found it very bright so perhaps its time to buy a filter.
I tried some very basic colamination for the first time having googled it however I don't think I did a great job! Next time I'll try using the x3 Barlow.

Taken with my AS120MM-mini guide scope and Skywatcher 130PDS. Video done in Sharpcap, processed in Autostakkert and sharpened in Registack.
I tend to put my money into deep sky gear which left me short of a few filters for this years Mars pass. My thinking was that it will be a couple more years before Jupiter and Saturn get back into a position that I can take it.
This pic is much better than my previous attempt of Mars with a clear distinction between the north and south. You can also make out the icecap. I perhaps need to change the exposure time as the top half has a strange semi circle which is definitely not natural.

The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus.
It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant, many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers. The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun which exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. At the time of explosion, the supernova would have appeared brighter than Venus in the sky, and visible in daytime. The remnants have since expanded to cover an area of the sky roughly 3 degrees in diameter (about 6 times the diameter, and 36 times the area, of the full Moon). While previous distance estimates have ranged from 1200 to 5800 light-years, a recent determination of 2400 light-years is based on direct astrometric measurements.

The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star. The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow. It is estimated to be 7,100 - 11,000 ly distant.
Open cluster M52 has an estimated age of 158.5 million years and a mass of 1,200 solar masses at a distance of 4,600 ly.
NGC 7538, The Northern Lagoon Nebula, near the more famous Bubble Nebula, is located in the constellation Cepheus. It is located about 9,100 light-years from Earth. It is home to the biggest yet discovered protostar which is about 300 times the size of the Solar System. It is located in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way and is probably part of the Cassiopeia OB2 complex. It is a region of active star formation.

from Wikipedia
Messier 22 or M22, also known as NGC 6656 or the Great Sagittarius Cluster, is an elliptical globular cluster of stars in the constellation Sagittarius, near the Galactic bulge region. It is one of the brightest globulars visible in the night sky. The brightest stars are 11th magnitude, with hundreds of stars bright enough to resolve with an 8" telescope. It is just south of the sun's position in mid-December, and northeast of Lambda Sagittarii (Kaus Borealis), the northernmost star of the "Teapot" asterism.
M22 was one of the first globulars to be discovered, in 1665 by Abraham Ihle and it was included in Charles Messier's catalog of comet-like objects in 1764. It was one of the first globular clusters to be carefully studied – first by Harlow Shapley in 1930. He placed within it roughly 70,000 stars and found it had a dense core. Then Halton Arp and William G. Melbourne continued studies in 1959. Due to the large color spread of its red giant branch (RGB) sequence, akin to that in Omega Centauri, it became the object of intense scrutiny starting in 1977 with James E. Hesser et al.
M22 is one of the nearer globular clusters to Earth – at about 10,600 light-years away. It spans 32′ on the sky which means its diameter (width across) is 99 ± 9 light-years, given its estimated distance. 32 variable stars have been recorded in M22. It is in front of part of the galactic bulge and is therefore useful for its microlensing effect on those background stars.
Despite its relative proximity to us, this metal-poor cluster's light is limited by dust extinction, giving it an apparent magnitude of 5.5; even so, it is the brightest globular cluster visible from mid-northern latitudes (such as Japan, Korea, Europe and most of North America). From those latitudes due to its declination of nearly 24° south of the (celestial) equator, its daily path is low in the southern sky. It thus appears less impressive to people in the temperate northern hemisphere than counterparts fairly near in angle (best viewed in the Summer night sky) such as M13 and M5.
M22 is one of only four globulars of our galaxy known to contain a planetary nebula (an expanding, glowing gas swell from a massive star, often a red giant). It was an object first noted of interest using the IRAS satellite by Fred Gillett and his associates in 1986, as a pointlike light source and its nature was found in 1989 by Gillett et al. The planetary nebula's central star is a blue star. The nebula, designated GJJC1, is likely about only 6,000 years old.
Two black holes of between 10 and 20 solar masses (M☉) each were unearthed with the Very Large Array radio telescope in New Mexico and corroborated by the Chandra X-ray telescope in 2012. These imply that gravitational ejection of black holes from clusters is not as efficient as was previously thought, and leads to estimates of a total 5 to 100 black holes within M22. Interactions between stars and black holes could explain the unusually large core of the cluster.
M42, the Orion Nebula, making a welcome return to our skies.

Je vous présente la nébuleuse de l'arroseur de gazon - NGC4361
c'est une nébuleuse planétaire située dans la constellation du corbeau
elle est à environ 2890 années-lumière.
sa magnitude est de 13.2
NGC 4361 présente la particularité de posséder quatre lobes d’éjectats,
ce qui pourrait laisser penser que deux étoiles ont éjecté de la matière au centre.
sur le cliché, à gauche de la nébuleuse, il y a une petite galaxie, il s'agit de la galaxie LEDA 864871, il y en a une autre (LEDA 864311) un peu plus dure à repérer
Cette image est issue de 44 poses de 180s faites avec une ZWO 1600MC-C installée sur la FSQ-106ED et monture NEQ6 pro goto

Taken with a 10" Dobsonian telescope with Celestron 3x Barlow and ASI120MC camera. I shot a 1,000 frame video using SharpCap, manually tracking to keep the planet in view.
The first frame was taken at 22:37 BST and the second at 23:08 BST.
I centred Jupiter in both videos using PIPP. then stacked the best 20% / 40% respectively of the 1,000 frames in AutoSkakkert! 3. Stacked image was first processed in Registax 6 to sharpen the wavelets, then the rest of the processing was in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. Animation then made using Movie Maker.
Ganymed casting its shadow on Jupiter (06.05.2018).
This was my first attempt with my brand new ZWO 120 camera. And much to learn I still have...
Jupiter was close to conjunction so the shadow on the surface is not far away from the moon and barely hitting the planet. Ganymed is Jupiter's largest moon and also the largest moon in the whole solar system - it is even larger than Mercury!
