This is my first completed image with the ZWO ASI6200MC Pro Full Frame OSC Camera using the Optolong L-eXtreme filter and all data was acquired over 4 nights, I love the North America Nebula because of all the detail it packs into a single subject spanning over 140 Light years and at a distance of 2590 light years (give or take 25 parsecs).

This image of the Veil Nebula was taken exclusively from my backyard under suburban light pollution using my radiantelescopes triad Ultra filter. .

 

The Veil Nebula - also known as the Filament nebula- consists remnants of a supernova. Its name is derived from its delicate, draped filamentary structures. The entire nebula is 110 light-years across, covering six full moons on the sky as seen from Earth, and resides about 2,100 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. wisps of gas, which are all that remain of what was once a star 20 times more massive than our sun.

 

The fast-moving blast wave from the ancient explosion is plowing into a wall of cool, denser interstellar gas, emitting light. The nebula lies along the edge of a large bubble of low-density gas that was blown into space by the dying star prior to its self-detonation. (NASA) #astromaniacmag

Soul nebula IC1848, narrowband processed. The stars are forming in the soul of the Queen of Ethiopia. More specifically, in a star-forming region called Soul Nebula can be found in the constellation Cassiopeia, a constellation Greek mythology identified as the arrogant wife of a king who has long ruled the lands around the top river Nile. the Soul nebula contains several open clusters of stars, an intense radio source known as W5 and huge bubbles formed by winds from massive young stars. Located about 6,500 light-years away, the Soul Nebula spans about 100 light years.

The clouds finally gave me a break to shoot this. This is my first real comet capture (I shot NEOWISE a few years ago but it was just a stock DSLR/lens shot).

* I stacked the Comet in AstroPixelProcessor and stacked the stars in Siril to try and just get the stars stacked. I then made a composite in Photoshop.

 

Due to my exposure settings, I couldn't get rid of the comet in a star stack in APP and I couldn't get rid of the stars in Siril so I ended up combining them.

Happy to answer any questions! Thanks for looking!

Here's an interesting juxtaposition between the dwarf planet Ceres, a relatively nearby object in the Solar System, passing in front of M100, a large spiral galaxy much much farther away. It took light 52 million years to travel to us from M100, which looks much like our own Milky Way galaxy. Ceres is the bright streak to the left of the galaxy, showing its motion relative to the background sky over 2 hours of exposures. It is currently at its brightest (about mag. 7), located opposite the sun from our point of view. Other galaxies also appear in the image, some about the same distance as M100 but smaller, others farther away.

Ceres was the first of the asteroids discovered, identified in 1801, now also known to be the largest body in the Solar System other than the planets, and now classified as a dwarf planet (along with the much more distant Pluto).

M100 has some distinction as one of the largest members of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies, though located in the constellation Coma Bernices. It also happens to have been one of the first targets for the Hubble Space Telescope after the first servicing mission in 1993, in which astronauts made repairs to correct the flaw in the primary optics. Those images clearly demonstrated the success of that mission and the promise of Hubble's many groundbreaking discoveries over its 33 years of operation -- and still going strong.

 

This image is a composite of 33 exposures, 4 minutes each (2hr 12min total) from suburban Bloomington Indiana on the night of March 15, 2023; Celestron Edge 8 (203mm aperture f/10) telescope, ZWO ASI294MC cooled one-shot CMOS color camera, Losmandy GM811G mount, ASIAir controller, off-axis guided; processed in Astro Pixel Processor, Lightroom and Photoshop.

I had seen images showing faint gas and dust clouds surrounding Sh2-140 in the constellation Cepheus, and I wanted to make these visible using the RASA at f/2.2, focusing primarily on the RGB data. In the end, I accumulated nearly 25.5 hours of exposure time, with about 20.5 hours dedicated to RGB and 5 hours to H-alpha.

The processing was more challenging than expected because, despite the long exposure time, everything was still quite faint overall. I blended the H-alpha data very subtly to keep the RGB look. I was very pleased that the dust clouds became visible in the lower right of the image, as well as the two reflection nebulae VdB 153 (bottom center) and GN 22 12.3 (top center). Sh2-140 also stood out nicely with its shockwave, along with the gas cloud Sh2-145 (left).
