Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888), 08/04/2020
This is the Crescent Nebula, an emission nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. It is about 5000 light-years from earth, that is pretty close all things considered. Do you see that bright star in the middle of the nebula? That star is energizing the gas that was blown off into space when the star became a red giant. This left behind gas, absorbs the star light and then emits its own faint light that my camera is able to see.

This little gem - Messier 57 or NGC 6720 - is a planetary nebula in the constellation Lyra. "Planetary" is a misnomer based on early astronomers' misunderstandings of what such objects were. It is actually ionized gases shed from a star late in its life. Cropped from an image captured on an ASI585MC camera attached to my Sky-Watcher Explorer 150P in Colchester UK, with a ZWO UV/IR cut filter and Baader MPCC III coma corrector, on an EQ5 Pro mount, unguided. I shot 300 x 20" exposures at Gain 300, but a lot of them were useless because of passing clouds overnight. Here are the best stacked in Astro Pixel Processor and tweaked in Lightroom.
The fuzzball in the lower centre is Messier 87 or NGC 4486, an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo that is believed to contain several trillion stars. Strikingly it has a jet of plasma streaming out from its core, which you can just make out in my image. M87 also has a massive black hole in its centre - famously pictured by the Event Horizon Telescope team in 2021. My picture was imaged in the back garden in Colchester on a ZWO ASI585MC camera, with the light coming from a Sky-Watcher Explorer 150P telescope through Baader MPCC III coma corrector and ZWO UV/IR cut filter. I stacked the best 70% of 160 x 20" exposures at Gain 300 in Astro Pixel Processor and tweaked it in Photoshop and Lightroom.

Cave Nebula, also known as Sh2-155 or Caldwell 9 is a huge emission nebula located in the constellation of Cepheus. The Cave itself is the dark arcuate object in the center surrounded by the red emission nebula. It has about 14 light years in diameter and is part of a much bigger cloud of gas and dust, which lies at a distance of 2740 light years.
I captured this image in September through a borrowed telescope Vixen 81S with my modified camera Canon EOS 1300D. It is my first attempt at taking emission nebulae through the telescope, not a lens, and I am pretty happy with it. There is much more detail than it would be through the common lens.

The Sombrero Galaxy (M104), 04/18/2021
Like I said in my last photo, its galaxy season, lol. A few weeks ago, I took my gear up into the woods and was able to capture lots of images while in the dark skis. I have always wanted to photography this galaxy, but it is really small and far away (31 million light-year), but I did it anyways. This picture is cropped in a lot. The Sombrero Galaxy is almost perfectly edge on to our field of view, so the dust lanes really pop. It also contains one of the biggest super-massive black holes ever discovered.

This is my first time using the H-Alpha Version of my Canon 60Da. Great to see it captures the H-Alpha lines so well. Barnard 33 is one of the most amazing objects is captured so far, I hope you enjoy the picture !

Leo Triplet (M65, M66, NGC3628), 03/17/2021
Galaxy season is here. In Spring most of the nebulas set too early to photograph so attention turns to distant and dim galaxies. For my current setup this is unfortunate because I have wrong field of view for tiny galaxies. But a YouTube channel I watch (Chuck’s Astrophotography) did this group using the same telescope I have so I gave it a go. Thanks Chuck! I did spend a lot of time on this so I would have enough detail to crop it in a bit. So, I give you the Leo Triplet, unsurprisingly found in the constellation Leo. These gravitationally bound galaxies are approximately 35 million lights years from you.
