I first shot Comet C/2020 F8 (SWAN), which was just barely above the horizon. I abandoned that idea after one shot - the core was just barely visible, and I was almost sure I wouldn't get much of the tail because I was shooting so low. Plus there were quite a few low clouds along the horizon, despite most of the sky being perfectly clear.
After being disappointed, I was about to pack up and get some sleep, but decided I'd get just one shot of Comet C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS) near M 81 and M 82. I almost packed up again when I had trouble locating M 81 and M 82 quickly, but finally found them after searching (no go-to capabilities with the SkyTracker of course).
Instead of being disappointed this time, I was surprised and excited to see an obvious tail on Comet C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS) in my first shot, so I stuck around and got some more subs so I'd be able to pull out the Integrated Flux Nebulae (IFN) in the area.
I wish now I'd just stuck around for just another 20 minutes of so but whatever, I'm happy with this image and its layers: it features a comet within our solar system (14 light minutes away), IFN near the edge of our galaxy, and distant galaxies (Bode's Nebulae are about 12 million light years away).

I didn't bother to stack on the comet and stars separately - so the core of the comet is slightly smudged, but that gets lost in the bright core of the comet after stretching to bring out the IFN.

✨ Exploring the Cosmic Continent ✨
Captured the breathtaking North America Nebula (NGC 7000) in all its glory! 🌌 This vast emission nebula, located in the constellation Cygnus, gets its name from its striking resemblance to the North American continent. The deep red hues come from ionized hydrogen gas, glowing under the intense radiation of nearby stars.

NGC 7000 spans about 120 x 100 arcminutes in the sky and is estimated to be 1,800–3,000 light-years away. Its intricate structure is shaped by dark interstellar dust clouds, creating the iconic "Gulf of Mexico" region visible in the nebula2.
Astrophotography allows us to unveil the hidden beauty of the cosmos—each image is a glimpse into the vastness of space. 🚀✨
What do you think of this celestial masterpiece? Let me know in the comments!
This is an extremely faint but rewarding target. For this image I used 12 hours of H alpha data (73x600 sec) and 2 hours RGB data (in 120 second subs)

Yesterday night we had clear sky again so I took my new toy out again to try some longer frames (180 each frame). I know it looks quite colourful but I think I like it. Need to learn more and better processing :-)
Messier 81 (also known as NGC 3031 or Bode's Galaxy) is a grand design spiral galaxy about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. It has a D25 isophotal diameter of 29.44 kiloparsecs (96,000 light-years).[2][5] Because of its relative proximity to the Milky Way galaxy, large size, and active galactic nucleus (which harbors a 70 million M☉[6] supermassive black hole), Messier 81 has been studied extensively by professional astronomers. The galaxy's large size and relatively high brightness also makes it a popular target for amateur astronomers.[7] In late February 2022, astronomers reported that M81 may be the source of FRB 20200120E, a repeating fast radio burst.[8][9]
(Wikipedia)
Messier 82 (also known as NGC 3034, Cigar Galaxy or M82) is a starburst galaxy approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. It is the second-largest member of the M81 Group, with the D25 isophotal diameter of 12.52 kiloparsecs (40,800 light-years).[1][5] It is about five times more luminous than the Milky Way and its central region is about one hundred times more luminous.[7] The starburst activity is thought to have been triggered by interaction with neighboring galaxy M81. As one of the closest starburst galaxies to Earth, M82 is the prototypical example of this galaxy type.[7][a] SN 2014J, a type Ia supernova, was discovered in the galaxy on 21 January 2014.[8][9][10] In 2014, in studying M82, scientists discovered the brightest pulsar yet known, designated M82 X-2.[11][12][13]

The Cocoon Nebula (IC5146) is around 15 light years across and some 4,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. It is a newly developing cluster of stars, glowing in red hydrogen gas created by the young hot stars. The bright star in the centre of the nebula is estimated to be only a few hundred thousand years old.

Here's the second in my series of objects shot with the RASA8 during our recent clear stretch (also from my light-polluted backyard).
Taking flat frames with the RASA turned out to be very easy: After I parked the scope (towards Polaris and safely away from the Sun!!), I just shot my flats pointed right at the clear, blue sky.
The advantage to this method is that it's incredibly simple - no need to set up a flat panel or figuring out how to get a flat panel to sit on top of the gear at the front of the RASA. The disadvantage is that your color balance will be MAJORLY messed up in your calibrated frames. Fortunately, you can recover the white balance in post-processing. :-)

Messier 78 is a reflection nebula which means that it contains very little ionized gas and merely reflects the light of the nearby stars and lies at an approximate distance of 1,600 light years from Earth. The nebula is located only about 2 degrees north and 1.5 degrees east of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion’s Belt. The dark filamentary dust not only absorbs light, but also reflects the light of several bright blue stars that formed recently in the nebula. Two early B-type 10th magnitude stars in M78, HD 38563A and HD 38563B, are responsible for illuminating the nebula’s dust clouds. A part of Barnards loop is visible in the upper right.

I've been looking forward to this conjunction for months - ever since deciding to get into astrophotography last year.
In the event, many practice runs shooting the Pleiades were useful, if not for image data as I'd hoped but at least for getting familiar with setting up the tracking mount and camera in quick order to catch a few photons during a committee meeting.

The Iris Nebula
At 1300 light years away and 6 light years across, The Iris Nebula, NGC7203, is a bright reflection nebula located in the constellation Cepheus. The light emitted by the star cluster in the centre of this nebula, reflects from the interstellar dust and gives the blue colour, and due to the resemblance with the iris flower, the name of this object. The brownish area around the reflection nebula consist of “space dust” blocking the light from the stars behind it creating blank, dark areas.
Taken 10 to 13 August 2022 from my Back garden, 98% to 96% Moon, so a challenging capture, but with frequent poor weather you just have to go for it! First time trying to expose the dust in post processing so many attempts, versions and exploring techniques before settling on this result.

The Andromeda Galaxy with satellite galaxies M32 (centre right below) and M110 (centre above)
The Andromeda Galaxy (IPA: /ænˈdrɒmɪdə/), also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula, is a barred spiral galaxy with diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs (152,000 light-years)[8] approximately 2.5 million light-years (765 kiloparsecs) from Earth and the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way. The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda, which itself is named after the princess who was the wife of Perseus in Greek mythology.

After another clear night I had a chance to put together a little gallery of the flyby of Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF). While there are variations in color and brightness due to differences in exposures and processing, it does show dramatic changes as the comet moved through the Solar System. Some of the variation is due to changes in the comet's structure, while others are because of our seeing it from different perspectives. The top two are before closest approach to Earth and the bottom two just after.
Bonjour, voici ma petite dernière après avoir passé deux nuits consécutive sur l'Aubrac. Il s'agit de l'oculus qui se trouve aux roc des loups
Cette photo résultat d’un suivi avec empilement sur deux nuits afin de totaliser 1h30 d’intégration pour le ciel. Le soucis venant de Rho Ophiuchi qui à cette période de l’année plonge très rapidement dans l’horizon.

J’ai optimisé mon flux de travail de la même manière qu’un traitement en ciel profond. Il y a 90 lights (60s - f/2.8 - 1600iso), 50 offsets & 50 flats. Le premier plan quand à lui est une pose de 120s - f/5.6 - 200 iso. L’ensemble au 40mm.

Messier 27 (M27), also known as the Dumbbell Nebula, Diabolo Nebula or Apple Core Nebula, is a planetary nebula in Vulpecula. The Dumbbell Nebula is extensive and bright, making it popular among amateur astronomers. It can be seen in binoculars and small telescopes.
The nebula covers an area of 8 by 5.6 arc minutes of the apparent sky and has a linear radius of 1.44 light years. Its faint halo stretches out to more than 15 arc minutes. M27 lies approximately 1,360 light years, or 417 parsecs, from Earth and has an apparent magnitude of 7.5. It has the designation NGC 6853 in the New General Catalogue.

The region of the Cone Nebula (NGC 2264) in the constellation Monoceros, a large complex of dust and gas forming new stars. At bottom right is another feature, a much smaller cloud of mostly dust (NGC 2261) reflecting light from a star. The star's brightness varies so the reflected light does too. For this reason it's known as Hubble's Variable Nebula, named after Edwin Hubble, the astronomer who discovered it, not the orbiting telescope.

Same framing and process as a week ago, but this time I shot 20 x 30 second subs from some better Bortle 3 skies, and NEOWISE was about 15 degrees above the horizon, which made a big difference - the background sky gradient was less severe, the green color of the nucleus is showing and there are more stars (and spiral galaxy NGC 3198, 6.5 arc min long with a visual mag. of 10.3 is just visible in the upper lefthand corner).
