NGC 4631 (aka the Whale Galaxy) is a barred spiral galaxy located in Canes Venatici. In this image I counted five smaller galaxies. The galaxy actually does look like a whale. I think it looks like a Blue whale, considering the length and where the blow hole is located :) .
Image taken using an ZWO 2600MM Pro camera with LRGB Baader filters. The telescope was a Stellarvue 102ED2 mounted on a Celestron CGX mount.
Images were processed in Pixinsight using a variety of processes and scripts. Total integration time was a little over 90 min at a Bortle 4-5 site.
Source of astronomical info:
WR 134 is a variable Wolf-Rayet star, a massive star at an advanced stage of stellar evolution and losing mass at a very high rate. It is surrounded by a faint bubble nebula blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star. It is located in the constellation of Cygnus and lies around 6,000 light years distant.
Another image done with short time subs and high gain and imaged whilst the Moon was 95% illuminated.

A nebula in Dolorado on the southern hemisphere. Close to the large Magellan cloud. 3 hours exposure from Chile.
Messier 27 (M27), also known as the Dumbbell Nebula, is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Vulpecula. It was the first planetary nebula ever discovered, by Charles Messier in 1764. The distance is about 1200 light years from our Earth. Captured at TelescopLive in Spain and Chile. Total exposure is 56 hours of data.
Cygnus Wall.
.....................
Cygnus Wall is the most visible and interesting part of the well-known North America nebula, located 1500 light-years from us, in the constellation Cygnus. The "wall" is actually an area of stellar dust combined with hydrogen ionized by the radiation of young stars and stretches over a length of about 20 light-years, thus being one of the largest and best known stellar "nurseries".

NGC 2244, aussi connu sous le nom de Caldwell 50, est un très jeune amas ouvert situé dans la constellation de la Licorne. Il a été découvert par l'astronome britannique John Flamsteed en 1690. Cet amas a été redécouvert par John Herschel en mars 1830 et il a été ajouté au New General Catalogue sour la cote NGC 2239. Wikipédia
