Object: IC1805 – The Heart Nebula SHO (2022)
The Heart Nebula, IC 1805, Sh2-190, lies some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. This is an emission nebula composed of glowing gases (ionized hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen) and darker cold dust lanes. The nebula is shape and illumination are produced by a central star cluster known as Melotte 15 aka Collinder 26.

The church as built in 1868–1870 was designed by noted architect Henry Dudley in the Gothic Revival style. It is constructed of rock faced limestone laid in random ashlar and trimmed with dressed limestone. It is composed of a rectangular shaped nave, flanked by side aisles and intersected by a compact transept, with an offset bell tower and spire highlighting an asymmetrically arranged facade. A large rose window is centered within the gable field of the nave.

Just cant stay away from capturing different angles of this recessed wall. Ironically its right across from the art gallery that I visit often.
IC 1318 or Gamma Cygni Nebula (aka SH2-108) or Sadr Region (HOO Palette)
Located in the Orion arm of the Milky Way Galaxy and found in the constellation Cygnus is IC1318A, IC1318B and IC1318C or the Gamma Cygni Nebula an enormous emission nebula back dropping the star Gamma Cygni or Sadr seen in the top center of this photo. The nebula is approximately 3700 light years distant. Sadr or Gamma Cygni at 1800 light years is a 2.23 magnitude giant yellow-white F-type star 12 times the mass of our sun and emitting over 33,000 times as much energy.
Aside from Gamma Cygni, the field contains objects from Lynds' Catalogue of Bright Nebulae

Not sure if I like this composition ... it looked nice when I took it, but for some reason seems off balanced to my eye on the screen ... not level.

Monkey Head Nebula NGC 2174/2175
This is my first image with my new dedicated cooled Astro camera, a ZWO ASI533MC-Pro.
The Monkey Head Nebula, NGC 2174, is a Hydrogen Alpha emission nebula in the constellation Orion and contains the open star cluster NGC 2175 near it's centre. It is approximately 6400 light years from Earth.

An orderly configuration of tinted corrugated fiberglas, weathered paint, partially blocked-in windows, rust stains, and asphalt, but not too orderly, which might be a bit boring, even if somewhat more satisfying. I meditated for a while on the shapes and patterns of the gray cinderblock filling in the bottom half of the windows, like pieces of a puzzle that don't fit. I can also zone out on the white area with its various crack patters, stains, and worn-down spots.
"Deepset offset" (pochoir et peinture) pour l'Urban week 2022 de La Défense
" Diogo Machado, alias Add Fuel, est un artiste plasticien et illustrateur portugais spécialisé en street art et en céramique. Depuis quelques années, Influencé par son héritage culturel, il réinterprète des carreaux traditionnels et l’azulejo.
Ses dessins vectoriels basés sur des pochoirs révèlent une complexité impressionnante et une attention magistrale aux détails [...] Mélangeant deux expressions visuelles à priori irréconciliables, sa pratique cherche à associer des éléments décoratifs traditionnels à des référents visuels contemporains en tentant de trouver l’équilibre parfait à partir de répétitions symétriques, une accumulation de couches et de techniques d’illusion comme le trompe-l’œil. Ses jolies compositions produisent un rythme poétique qui joue avec nos perceptions et ses (multiples) possibilités d’interprétation, racontant le dialogue entre l’ancien et le nouveau, patrimoine et modernité."

ADD FUEL était l'un des douze artistes sélectionnés par Quai 36 pour l'édition 2022 de l'Urban week à La Défense. Cet artiste portugais synthétise deux expressions à priori opposées, la tradition de l’azulejo puisant à travers l’héritage de la céramique portugaise émaillée et des référents visuels contemporains, la répétition symétrique, et l’illusion du trompe l’œil.
