My new 'best shot' of the Andromeda Galaxy, Messier 31, the largest galaxy in the Local Group. Also shown are its brightest companion galaxies, the dwarf elliptical galaxy Messier 110 above it, and Messier 32, the largest fuzzball dwarf galaxy at 4 o-clock from Messier 31's center. This image was assembled from four hours of 2-minute exposures captured on September 20th, 2020. (Messier 31 has 10 known dwarf satellite galaxies, our Milky Way galaxy has 23 of them since they are much closer to us therefore easier to find and observe.)

Alpha Centauri is a triple star system in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It consists of 3 stars: Rigil Kentaurus (Alpha Centauri A), Toliman (B) and Proxima Centauri (C). Alpha Centauri A and B are Sun-like stars (Class G and K, respectively), and together they form the binary star system Alpha Centauri AB. To the naked eye, the two main components appear to be a single star with an apparent magnitude of −0.27. It is the brightest star in the constellation and the third-brightest in the night sky, outshone only by Sirius and Canopus.
Alpha Centauri A has 1.1 times the mass and 1.5 times the luminosity of the Sun, while Alpha Centauri B is smaller and cooler, at 0.9 times the Sun's mass and less than 0.5 times its luminosity.[13] The pair orbit around a common centre with an orbital period of 79 years.[14] Their elliptical orbit is eccentric, so that the distance between A and B varies from 35.6 astronomical units (AU), or about the distance between Pluto and the Sun, to 11.2 AU, or about the distance between Saturn and the Sun.
Here's M38 and NGC 1907.

Although I have been doing this type of photograph for some time, I am still amazed to point the focus in the darkness of nightsky and see this type of objects and colors.
In the image you can see the result of my first assault on this object, the North American nebula NGC 7000 and the pelican IC5070, which are located in the Cygnus constellation. NGC 7000 is a large nebula that covers an area equivalent to the full moon and the distance that separates us from NGC 7000, nor the star responsible for the ionization of hydrogen that produces the emission of light, is not precisely known.
Coming soon a second round with more than the 30min of exposure I did in this one and with calibration sockets.
Don't you find it incredible that this is in the night sky?

Messier 42, the Great Orion Nebula and NGC 1977, the Running Man Nebula. They are reflection nebulas locted in Orion constellation. You can see the Orion Nebula with naked eye, but, with a smaller telescope or with a binocular, you can see the Running Man Nebula too. M42 is about 1270 lightyears far away from Earth. Orion constellation is visible in Winter days.

James Hamilton - Uncropped (2023) / Без фильтров
beatfilmfestival.ru/movies/uncropped
в Ленфильме и не только очередное суперкино 🔥 о жизни нью-йоркского (и не только) фотографа Джеймса Хэмилтона, удивительный человек-легенда, Forrest Gump наших дней можно сказать
мне очень понравилось, узнавал многие моменты и персонажей (упоминается очень много артистов и музыкантов), обязательно пересмотрю (и там очень высокая плотность информации, все люди если и говорят, то по делу, хотя много и обалденных атмосферных кадров), я видел его фотки сто раз, но как-то не акцентировал что их автор - James Hamilton, очень скромный дядя (как я практически), среди многих его фанатов и режиссёр Уэс Андерсон (Королевство полной луны, 2012) он и спродюсировал этот фильм
рекомендую посмотреть!
кстати, вся эта атмосфера лампового и не очень Нью-Йорка неуловима напомнила работы другого талантливого автора (Jem Cohen), который однажды приехал в СПб чтобы представить свои работы на фесте «Послание к человеку» (2018), они даже частично пересекаются по героям своих работ (в первую очередь Patti Smith) запомнился его микрошедевр Long for the City (Patti Smith in New York) (Super 8 film, 10 min., 2008) Directed by Jem Cohen, писал про этот фест тоже:

Here's some more winter star clusters. This one consists of both M35, which is the main cluster in the center, and NGC 2158, which is the really small and dim cluster towards the bottom right. I'll be attempting to image all 110 objects from the Messier catalog this year. A lot of them are open clusters. :)

SH 2-275 / Rosette Nebula
The Rosette Nebula, also known as Caldwell 49, is a large HII region located some 4700 light-years from the solar system. It was discovered by the American astronomer Lewis Swift in 1865.
The mass of the Rosette Nebula is estimated to be about 10 000 times the mass of the Sun

This is a 2h of data from foggy full moon night taken with my Redcat51 and canon 450d.
That night was mainly for testing new gear and acquisition software. It was fun :)
Western Veil Nebula (Caldwell 34), 06/25/2020
This object is part of a super nova remnant from a star that was 20 times more massive than the sun. When that star blew up some 10,000 to 20,000 years ago, it left behind ionized gas and dust that has expanded to cover an area of the sky roughly 6 times the diameter of the Moon. This picture is only one small part of that explosion.
This night was kind of a last-minute decision. I looked outside and saw clear skies so I quickly setup the gear. It was my first night using some new toys, a new light pollution filter and an Asiair Pro computer. The new equipment worked great but I did have a few issues. I had my gain set to 200 for some reason and the polar alignment was crap. But I think I salvaged the data and the image turned out pretty good.

Wizard Nebula (NGC7380), 09/28/2020

Without a startracker, I decided to take my shot of shooting the Andromeda Galaxy with my telephoto lens with a very short exposure. Although it still picked up the trailing, can still see the massive galaxy and its two dwarf elliptical galaxies M32 and M110.
Cygnus Loop, or Veil Nebula, 60 two-minute exposures taken on August 16, 2020. A three-degree-wide (6 full moons wide) spherical expanding bubble of glowing gas from a star that exploded as a supernova about 21 thousand years ago. About 130 light-years in diameter, at a distance of about 2000 light-years.
