The California Nebula (NGC 1499) is an emission nebula in the constellation Perseus. Can you see how it looks like the state of California? This nebula is about 1,000 light years from the Earth. The nebula is being lit up by the star Menkib located at the 1-2 o’clock position from the nebula. This is my first attempt at processing images using the Optolong L-eNhance filter, definitely a different processing approach for me.

Interplanetary Travel
Interplanetary travel has begun.
As of this morning, I have left this planet from which I came in August 2019. I have discovered many settlements from civilizations that have lived on this planet before. Many of the settlements I discovered were still standing. The architectural structures unique to the planet were quite impressive. Plutonia, which is generally a desert planet, has a suitable structure for living. I came across several plant species, trees with edible fruits. I came across water beds on the planet, which is mostly covered with desert. I took samples from these potable water sources. I would say hot for the climate of the planet. However, I cannot say that it has a scorching heat. This is quite unusual for a planet with 5 suns. The planet has 16 natural satellites. And all of these satellites are visible day and night. I think some moons are larger planets nearby. I have observed some of these planets on other planets I have visited. I have shared 148 special photos that I have chosen for you from this planet. I hope you are satisfied. I will soon pass through the atmosphere of the planet Plutonia and reach the outer space. Then I'll have to dock with my spaceship. And after entering the new route into the computer, I will have started my journey in outer space. I hope I can keep sending photos from outer space. I will try to stay in touch.
Goodbye.

The Black Eye Galaxy, Messier 64 (M64), or NGC 4826, is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices. The dark band of absorbing dust gives this galaxy the name “Black Eye” or “Evil Eye” galaxy. This galaxy is roughly 19 million light years distant.

Messier 67 (also known as M67 or NGC 2682) is an open cluster in the constellation of Cancer. It has the nickname King Cobra cluster, not sure where that name came from but would love to know. The cluster is about 2,800 light-years away from Earth. From Burnham's Celestial Handbook, Volume 1, "It is a compact group, some 15' in diameter, and containing 500 or more members, from the 10th to the 16th magnitudes."

Messier 44 (NGC 2632) – The Beehive Cluster (or also called the Praesepe) is an open cluster that lies in the constellation Cancer. M44 has a visual brightness of magnitude 3.7, so it is easily visible using a modest telescope and can easily be seen using binoculars (it is actually much nicer in a wide-field view). Distance is around 610 light years. Total number of stars in this cluster are in the range of 200 to 350.

From Wikipedia: NGC 40 (also known as the Bow-Tie Nebula and Caldwell 2) is a planetary nebula discovered by William Herschel on November 25, 1788, and is composed of hot gas around a dying star. The star has ejected its outer layer which has left behind a smaller, hot star with a temperature on the surface of about 50,000 degrees Celsius. Radiation from the star causes the shed outer layer to heat to about 10,000 degrees Celsius, and is about one light-year across. About 30,000 years from now, scientists theorize that NGC 40 will fade away, leaving only a white dwarf star approximately the size of Earth.

Messier 46 (M46) is an open cluster that can be found in the constellation Puppis, to the upper left of the star Sirius in Canis Major. The cluster is fairly bright and contains about 500 stars and is about 5,400 light years away. If you close you can also spot the planetary nebula, a small ring, known as NGC 2437, while it looks like it is part of the cluster, it is actually in front of it by 2,500 light years.

Here is a view of NGC 2261 also known as Hubble’s Variable Nebula. The dust cloud is being illuminated by the star R Monocerotis, the brightest area on the left of the fan-shaped nebula. It is thought the condensation near the star varies over time changing the illuminations of the fan. The star is roughly 2,500 light-years away from Earth.

Here is a view on Earth’s moon in a region called Sinus Iridum (Bay of Rainbows), there are two capes, or points, named Promontorium Laplace and Promontorium Heraclides. This area has also been called the “jeweled scimitar” because of its resemblance to the scimitar sword (or sabre). If you look close, you can see some “wrinkle ridges” on the flat surface area. These were caused when lava cooled and contracted, they are also referred to as veins.

From Nightcafe, but extensive post-processing after. There was a lot that needed to be fixed.
This may be useful as a record cover for the 'Albino Punker Prophets' band.
The prompt I used makes no sense, considering the strength of the input image, so just for curiosities sake, here it is:
The Albino Punker Prophets of the apocalypse || collage, surrealism, in the styles of otto rapp and emek and paulo cunha, intricately detailed, expansive, maximalist, mixed media, modern colors, epic, stunning, beautiful, magic realism, highest resolution, cryptid taxidermy in bogomils universe"

NGC 6366 is a loose globular cluster found in the constellation Ophiuchus. It has a Shapley–Sawyer Concentration Class of XI, which gives it a real loose central core (XII having almost no central core).

While imaging and processing the The Tulip nebula, I was surprised to see I also captured the shock wave being produced from Cygnus X-1. It is the site of one of the first suspected black holes. Over the years the location of this X-ray source became more accurately determined. The X-ray source was found to lie very close to the position of a 9th magnitude star called HDE 226868. This star is a large blue supergiant, and its companion – the more compact of the two objects in the system – is thought to be between 20 and 35 solar masses. Since the largest possible mass of a neutron star can not exceed three solar masses, the compact object which is unseen, is almost certainly a black hole. These two objects share an orbital periodicity of 5.6 days.
