Imaged during the early hours of the 20th March 2022.
It was very early in the season to image this object (I was actually imaging another object) but when I saw the familiar cross of Cygnus rising in the NE I thought I would turn the scope to the Pelican to finish the session and just to see how it would turn out.
Consequently this is a bit of a test image and represents only 1.6hrs of total exposure with my Ha filter. I tried to get some OIII data as well and I may post an early HOO image later.
The Pelican Nebula, catalogued as IC 5070 & IC 5067 is an emission nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. The various gaseous patterns within the nebula give the overall appearance of a Pelican hence the name.
The nebula lies at a distance of 1,800 light-years.

After prolonged period of awful weather, which saw us miss out on fine weather in other parts, it was our turn at last to get some decent skies here so time to get the telescope assembled!
Both these galaxies are found in the Plough or Big Dipper constellation. This constellation is at its highest in northern skies in the spring, (though the plough is ciircumpolar) so this galactic pair is becoming well-placed for imaging here.
M81, also catalogued as NGC 3031, is a grand design spiral galaxy with well-defined and prominent spiral arms that extend clearly around the system. It lies around 12 million light-years from us.
M82 (to the right) is also known as the Cigar Galaxy is also at around 12 million light-years distance. This is a starburst galaxy (due to their fast rate of star production). Glowing red filaments of hydrogen gas can be seen emanating form the centre of the system.
Just partially creeping into the top of the frame is NGC 3077, sometimes known as the Garland Galaxy. This is a small, disrupted galaxy and is part of the M81 group. It is a Seyfert Galaxy having an active nucleus.
Just above M81 is a bluish-coloured irregular feature. This is Holmberg IX, a dwarf irregular galaxy that is a satellite galaxy of M81.
There are several other fainter galaxies within the field.
Imaged on the 28.02.22 with my Esprit 120ED and a ZWO 2600MC camera. The telescope was fitted with a Skywatcher 0.77x focal reducer.

La galaxia de Andrómeda, también conocida como Galaxia Espiral M31, Messier 31 o NGC 224, es una galaxia espiral gigante con un diámetro de doscientos veinte mil años luz y que contiene aproximadamente un billón de estrellas.[4] Es el objeto visible a simple vista más lejano de la Tierra.
The Andromeda Galaxy (/ænˈdrɒmᵻdə/), also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years) from Earth.[4] It is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way and was often referred to as the Great Andromeda Nebula in older texts. It received its name from the area of the sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda, which was named after the mythological princess Andromeda.
Being approximately 220,000 light years across, Andromeda is the largest galaxy of the Local Group, which also contains the Milky Way, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 44 other smaller galaxies. Despite earlier findings that suggested that the Milky Way contains more dark matter and could be the largest in the grouping,[12] the 2006 observations by the Spitzer Space Telescope revealed that Andromeda contains one trillion (1012) stars:[9] at least twice the number of stars in the Milky Way, which is estimated to be 200–400 billion.[13]

Anyway, it was my first mosaic in LRGB, which is a bit difficult to merge all of these filters. Luminance was easy, but with the others I was got a lot of troubles.

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.

I was lucky with some really good seeing last night. Great detail when observing Mars with a half meter Dobsonian inspired me to 'fire up the Quattro' and have another go at imaging it. Quite pleased with this.

The prominent dark monkey wrench shaped feature in the centre is Sinus Sabaeus with Sinus Meridiani at the tip. The subtle paler patch left of centre is Pyrrhae Regio and the large blank area upper right is Moab & Aeria. The row of dots stretching from left to right just below centre is, I believe, Decaulionis Regio.

This is a bit of an odd ball as it does not follow anthing like I have done before. I found this Dark looking structure on Stellarium but it was not named so could not select it by writing the name. I was able to use the cool feature in Nina Select it in Stellarium and it brings it into Nina as a target. The star is HIP 54413 at least I knew that part from Stellarium This is two nights worth of shots and about 6 goes at trying to edit this which is so different to how I have done all the others.
I think this is pushing the limits of the ED 80 with all this very light dusty part of the sky. The mount performed flawlessly so really happy with the two upgrades.

The Horsehead Nebula is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, one of the bottom stars in Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.
This was our longest total exposure, comprising of approximately 15 hours of Ha. R, G and B frames. Captured with the Sbig ST2000xm attached to the Skywatcher ED80.
You have seen part of this before but as I am waiting for a target to rise In the milky way that I found when I did the milky way panorama. I do not have a name for the nebula but know where it is on the milky way its one I have never see in any photo so it going to be a new look at some thing I have never seen close.
So what became just the" body" top left I went clockwise taking the whole of the Running Chicken Nebula as an extra 3 shot to get the whole of the Nebula. I still can NOT see it even though I am enjoying this years Shiraz I still cant see no chicken. none the less enjoy the fruits or a lot of night to get the total in all its detail. Last was a single shot ED80 and APSC ZWO as a single shot.

The brightest part of the Heart nebula (a knot at its western edge) is separately classified as NGC 896, because it was the first part of the nebula to be discovered. The nebula's intense red output and its morphology are driven by the radiation emanating from a small group of stars near the nebula's center. This open cluster of stars, known as Collinder 26 or Melotte 15, contains a few bright stars nearly 50 times the mass of our Sun, and many more dim stars that are only a fraction of our Sun's mass.

The Seagull Nebula was my favorite deepscape target in January. This composition includes Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. The blueish speck above the horizon, to the left of the central peak, is Thor's Helmet (NGC 2359). This is an emission nebula, powered by a central Wolf-Rayet star, an extremely hot star, thought to be in a brief pre-supernova stage of evolution.
Those who remember my previous posted deepscape of the Seagull Nebula may recognize the peak as Mt. Druesberg in central Switzerland and wonder why the alignment of the nebula over the mountains is different. The reason for this is simple: I captured this image one night earlier and from a different spot, one mountain range further back.

I was suggested my target I had chosen was good one but at astro fest no one is going to hang around to see a 10min shot. So I went for the area next the Star bank in the Large Magellanic cloud ( blueish area to the left.) .
The other advantage in live stacking the colour chip in this camera shows up when stacked. I tested out the sequence before I went live at astrofest. Its looking like this year is only indoors Saturday is Rain and total cloud cover. Oh well I got to learn a little more about Nina and the shot gets seen even though its not live. Part of doing the sequence the photos get saved in the stack from my trial night and the night at astrofest would only add to the stack but a better looking photo from all the combined shots.
