night sky- early morning May 30, 2022. EASTERN VEIL NEBULA
Trying to take advantage of these rare summer dark (new moon), clear (weather) sky nights... here in Arkansas (near Caddo Gap) USA.
Eastern Veil Nebula --
The Eastern Veil nebula (Caldwell catalog #33) is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation of Cygnus. It is about 1,470 light-years from Earth. It is a remnant of a faint supernova that exploded a very long time ago.

Double Cluster in Perseus with a Celestron NexStar 5se and Nikon D7000 at prime focus, 51x10s subs and 25 darks stacked in DSS.
Bode's Galaxy (also known as NGC 3031 or Messier 81) is a spiral galaxy about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. At its heart is a supermassive black hole. To its right is the Cigar Galaxy (also known as NGC 3034 or Messier 82) which is a starburst galaxy five times as bright as the whole Milky Way. This photo was taken using an astromodified Canon EOS 1000D attached to my Sky-Watcher Explorer 190MN. The image comprises 16 x 40s images stacked using Nebulosity 3.
This is an Iriudiumflare from satellite Iridiudm 24. Shot on the 27th of february 2017 at 20.42 CET with a Canon EOS 550D and a EF 35-135mm pump-zoom-lens.
The Ring Nebula, 2 August 2012 with a Nikon D7000, Skywatcher Explorer 200PDS and HEQ5 Pro. Single RAW shot.

I was able to pick up William Optics new RedCat 71, and was anxious to get it out when the clouds finally lifted for the night! However, I ran into a host of issues, and only ended up collecting 24 minutes of usable Hydrogen-alpha data. I have some work to do to ensure everything is tightened up and aligned, as the star shapes aren't as good as they should be. But I am pleased with the extra reach so far, and this could be a great addition once tuned!
This image is a view of the Rosette Nebula, also known as Caldwell 49, found near the Orion Nebula in the sky. The image also contains the open cluster NGC 2244.

The mostly blue portion of the dumbbell nebula. I will have to get a CCD camera or remove the IR filter on my 20D to see the red portions better. For this shot I used PEC but no autoguiding. The camera was mounted through the 9.25" scope using a 0.65X focal reducer. Four 1-4 minute shots were stacked in PS.

The Cigar Galaxy (M82) is a starburst galaxy approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major and is five times more luminous than the whole Milky Way. The starburst activity is thought to be triggered by interaction with neighboring galaxy M81. Embedded within the galaxy is SN 2014J; an apparent type Ia supernova, it was observed in the galaxy on 21 January 2014 and is one of the closest supernovae seen for decades.
This image is the result of 15 x 120s exposures, captured using a QHY8L mounted to a Sky-Watcher Explorer 190MN Pro. The image was stacked in Nebulosity 3 and processed in Photoshop CS6.
This is Messier 64, also called the black eye galaxy. This is a 3 times drizzled, cropped section of a previous photo. Shot with an EOS 550D mounted to a Skywatcher 150/750 telescope. Exposure was around 35 minutes and 37 seconds with ISO 800.
Better shot of the Double Cluster, Caldwell 14 from last night, managing to stretch the exposures now with no trailing. Shot with a Nikon D7000 and Celestron NexStar 5se, single RAW shot.

The Double Cluster in Perseus, Caldwell 14. 8 September 2012. Only a single RAW exposure due to dramas with power supplies!

The Ring Nebula (also known as Messier M57) is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Lyra and is approximately 2,300 light years from earth. It was formed when a shell of ionized gas was expelled by a giant red star, during its dying transformation into a white dwarf. This image was captured using an astro-modded Canon EOS 100D attached to a Sky-Watcher Explorer 190MN Pro. It comprises 16 x 120s exposures, stacked and processed in Nebulosity 3 and Photoshop CS6.
I was experimenting with an old mono image of ... can you guess?
the Orion Nebula (M42)...
this is a detailed shot, centered on the trapezium (bright) center of the great nebula.
