The Veil Nebula (NGC6960) is a large but relatively faint supernova remnant found in the constellation of Cygnus. It is approximately 1470 light years away.
Based on a Composite Image of the Flame Nebula (greatly modified) by Chandra and Spitzer Space Telescopes (NGC 2024) May 2014 and combined with a Hubble Space Telescope of the spiral galaxy NGC 3370 and a public domain photo of the human brain.

A couple of strangely related cosmic structures. The large background galaxy is NGC 3370 taken from The Hubble Telescope Photo Archive. Photo of Poppy Center was taken by yours truly, see the full version at www.flickr.com/photos/
The M81 Group is a group of galaxies in the constellation Ursa Major that includes the well-known galaxies Messier 81 and Messier 82, approximately 12 million light years distant.
Background photo of two colliding galaxies called The Antennae galaxies by NASA. The photo is composite image from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Spitzer Space Telescope. Figure created using Poser software.

Background is the Extreme Deep Field (XDF) image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and composited in 2012. Every tiny dot, splotch and smear in this XDF image is a Galaxy.
The photo of the Orion Nebula from the Hubble Telescope Photo Archive 2005. Orion Nebula is a stellar nursery where thousands of stars are in various stages of being born from a cauldron rich in roiling dust and gas particles. After stars are formed some stars will form protoplanetary disks out of which planets are formed then we arrive on the scene.
This Extreme Deep Field (XDF) image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and composited in 2012. The Hubble pointed at a tiny empty patch of southern sky in repeat visits for a total of 50 days, with a total exposure time of 2 million seconds and then made this composite by combining the resulting 2,000 photos together.
The Pleiades (M45) is an open star cluster, one of the closest to Earth. The stars are young and blue, and are still embedded in the nebula from which they formed. The Pleiades (also known as The Seven Sisters) is approximately 440 light years away.

The clouds finally cleared out and my partner and I finally got the chance to take our telescope and imaging gear out for a test run. This was our first attempt at deep-sky astrophotography, and we were pretty pleased with the results
The Orion Nebula is located roughly 1400 light years from Earth. It is comprised primarily of Hydrogen II gas, and the nebulosity (glow) is the result of the HII gas becoming ionized due to the hot young stars contained in the region.
