Description:
About 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus lies NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula. Its arched and filamentary form was sculpted by the powerful stellar winds of Wolf–Rayet 136, colliding with slower material expelled during a previous red supergiant phase.
In this multiband image, crimson filaments trace hydrogen, teal clouds mark oxygen, while additional emission from sulfur and hydrogen-beta enriches the structure with subtle chromatic variations. The combined data highlight the complex network of shocks and ionized gas surrounding its central star, creating the intricate shell known as the Crescent Nebula.
Spanning about 25 light-years, the Crescent Nebula is a dynamic structure, destined to be dramatically reshaped when its central star ends its life in a supernova explosion.
Technical details:
The image was processed in an HOO palette, with H-alpha mapped to red and OIII mapped to green and blue. Additional H-beta and SII data were later blended in using a screen blending mode, with H-beta encoded in blue and SII encoded in yellow. The natural star colors were restored using PixInsights' Ballesteros blackbody estimator tool.

....................................................
This is an emission nebula located in the constellation Cepheus, about 3000 light-years from us, being a region where new stars are born. If the strong radiation emitted by the new stars ionizes the surrounding gas and illuminates the entire area, the same radiation erodes those "pillars" of cosmic dust causing, over time, those concentrated areas of dust to disappear and thus destroy the main "material" that forms the new stars.

The Horsehead Nebula or Barnard 33, in the constellation of Orion, is a dark region of dust and non-luminous gas that blocks the red background light from the bright emission nebula IC434. The nebula is located approximately 1,500 light years distant. The bright over exposed star to the left of centre is the easternmost star in Orion's belt, Alnitak.
Imaged on the 21st of December 2020. Another effort using my 100mm doublet APO and OSC camera.

Essentially until the 6-7 Feb, Comet c/2022 E3 (ZTF) will be hidden by the bright full moon. However, with some post-processing techniques, you can still get a glimpse of this celestial wanderer. The trick with a dSLR camera is to take lots of short exposures (e.g. 15 to 30 sec) with wide open aperture (low f-stop) and moderately high iso, say 1100, stack the images so that the comet is fixed and if you have a starless routine such as with Pixinsight, you can achieve something like the above images. The latest at right suggests that Comet ZTF dust tail has broadened significantly. I can't wait until the moon rises after astrological twilight has ended on 7 Feb as the window of dark skies gets longer.

I started in November, reading Inside PixInsight, the book describing the software designed for processing astrophotos or photos of deep sky objects. Then I got the equipment, then learned how to use the equipment and take the photos. This one is a composite of 24 photos, each 5 minutes exposure, stacked and then processed. It is the Pinwheel Galaxy, known as M 101. This galaxy is 1.7 times larger (in diameter) than the Milky Way.
170,000 light years in diameter,
Estimated to have one trillion stars
Numerous star-forming nebulas
NASA writes "Brilliant, young clusters of hot, blue, newborn stars trace out the spiral arms”

Most of the processing was in PixInsight, but I am not yet up to novice with that program. So I put in the final details with Photoshop and Topaz DeNoise AI

This bright cluster of stars is 47 Tucanae (NGC 104), shown here in an image taken from TelescopeLive in Chile. This cluster is located around 15 000 light-years away from us and contains millions of stars, some of which are unusual and exotic.
Globular clusters are challenging as we by no means can resolve their full potential. But with about 3 hours using a multitude of exposure time the result is rewarding.
IC5146 and Cocoon Nebula (Caldwell 19, SH 2-125, Barnard 168)
It’s been a while since I posted anything and for using my own equipment, however, I’m playing with Pixinsight for processing images. This image of the Cocoon Nebula (IC5146) was created from the tutorial files from Easy Pixinsight (www.easypixinsight.com) using date captured by Pete Proulx. Once the LRGB had been created in Pixinsight, some softness was removed using Topaz Sharpen AI before adjusting some of the curves in Photoshop.
Inside the Cocoon Nebula is a newly developing cluster of stars. Cataloged as IC 5146, the beautiful nebula is nearly 15 light-years wide, located some 4,000 light years away toward the northern constellation Cygnus. Like other star forming regions, it stands out in red, glowing, hydrogen gas excited by young, hot stars and blue, dust-reflected starlight at the edge of an otherwise invisible molecular cloud. In fact, the bright star near the center of this nebula is likely only a few hundred thousand years old, powering the nebular glow as it clears out a cavity in the molecular cloud's star forming dust and gas. Thisexceptionally deep color view of the Cocoon Nebula traces tantalizing features within and surrounding the dusty stellar nursery.

Image was annotated in PixInsight. See original image for capture and other processing details.
Two rather prominent galaxies can be seen in this image. PGC47003 to the right of Omega Centauri and PGC47340 to the lower left. Their distance from us is 140 Mly and 150 Mly respectively. There are several smaller PGC objects that have been annotated in the frame.
Notice that the galaxies in this image have a reddish cast. This is likely the result of the scene's low galactic lattitude (about 15 degrees from the center of the galactic plane), which means that their light has traveled through larger cross section of Milky Way dust to reach us than it would have if the objects were directly above or below the galactic plane.
We see more red light from these normally white objects, because light at the red end of the visible spectrum penetrates the dust more readily that the blue light. This work in much the same way that sunrises and sunsets are red due to light travelling through a thicker cross section of the Earth's atmosphere than if the Sun were closer to the zenith.
This image was captured while I was taking advantage of a bright, moonlit urban sky to check out my imaging system. The capture occured while I was validating that NINA-automated meridian flips were occuring on time and executing correctly,
While there is a target object in this image, this is essentially a stars-only image, illustrating that great stars can be obtain in a what seemed to be an impossibly bright sky. Two points relative to stars-only images are worth mentioning.
90s exposures were way longer than needed, because the histogram sky fog peak was separated from the left edge by over 3,000 ADU, the camera (16-bit) provides enough dynamic range to prevent the brightest stars' centers from saturatinng. With test exposures, I could have significantly lowered the exposure duration and still have gotten the same quality image I got with 90s exposures.
A ton of Luminance frames were shot. I made a couple of attempts to add luminance with LRGBCombination, but found that it degrated my image. My sense is that I could have adjusted the stretch of my luminance image to get a combined image at least as good as the image appeared without luminance, but I don't think that adding luminance would ever improve the image. This illustrates that there is enough signal in RGB that the stars can stand on their own.

Last Wednesday, after shooting the Winter Milky Way in Southern Oregon until the wee hours of the morning, I had the choice between getting some sleep or using the remaining dark night to finally to try my hand at Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF).
Of course, I went for the comet. My small tracker was definitely over its limit with the heavy 200mm lens, but the dark skies of Southern Oregon and some sophisticated processing allowed me to still acquire an acceptable result.

Der Pferdekopfnebel (Barnard 33) ist ein 3 Lichtjahre großer Teil einer Dunkelwolke im Sternbild Orion, die sich vor dem rot leuchtenden Emissionsnebel IC 434 mit einer Silhouette ähnlich einem Pferdekopf abhebt. Von der Erde ist der Nebel ungefähr 1500 Lichtjahre entfernt und erscheint ein Viertel so groß wie der Erdmond. Scheinbare Größe des Nebels am Himmel: 6 x 4 Bogenminuten.
Ein erneuter Versuch mit KB-Kamera, EdgeHD 8" Spiegelteleskop und 0,7x Reducer. Autoguiding mit Lacertas MGen2. Belichtungszeit 22 x 5min = 110min.
Dieser brauchbaren Aufnahme sind viele erfolglose Anläufe in den letzten Wochen vorausgegangen. Für diese Aufnahme waren die Bedingungen in meiner Region endlich annähernd optimal : Kein Mondlicht, kein Wind, ein klarer Himmel ohne Dunstschleier - und fast kein Frost trotz Winter laut Kalender. Insgesamt herrschte ein gutes Seeing, da man alle Sterne des Kleinen Wagens mit freiem Auge erkennen konnte.
The Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) is a 3 light-years large part of a dark cloud in the constellation Orion, which stands out in front of the red shining emission nebula IC 434 with a silhouette similar to a horse's head. The nebula is about 1500 light years away from the Earth and appears a quarter the size of the Earth Moon.
Apparent size in the sky: 6 x 4 arc minutes. Another attempt with EdgeHD 8"; reflector telescope and 0. 7x reducer. Guided with Lacertas MGen2. Exposure time 22 x 5min = 110min.
This picture was preceded by many unsuccessful attempts in recent weeks. For this shot, the conditions were finally almost optimal: no moonlight, no wind, a clear sky without haze - and almost no frost. All in all a good seeing, since one could see all stars of the little bear with the naked eye.

Here we have a look at IC410 and its famous tadpoles. Spent some time on this trying to realise some of the colours in the central area rather than it just showing as a solid blue area. Quite a few iterations needed to get it to have colour (rather than just a grey feature!) but happy with the results so far.
IC 410 is c.12000 light years from earth with each tadpole an astonishing c.10ly in size.

Interesting processing this image set. Thanks to the PixInsight software I process the stars and nebulosity separately (in this case 'nebulosity' is mainly millions of stars that are too small to see individually that just end up looking like nebulosity). But the nebulosity did not have much detail and looked washed out. It turned out however that there are many thousands of the stars that are visible in the image. So when I combined the stars with the processed nebulosity the image works well.
I love how you can see details in the red star forming regions, (brought out in a separate pass using an Hydrogen Alpha filter that is typically used when imaging star forming areas local to our own Milky Way galaxy). These regions are the Triangulum's galaxy equivalent to objects like our Orion and Lagoon nebulae.
"The Triangulum Galaxy, or M33, is a spiral galaxy located about 3 million light-years away from Earth, making it one of our closest galactic neighbors in space. Though it’s smaller than both the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, it still spans about 60,000 light-years across. For comparison, the Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years in diameter, while Andromeda is around 220,000 light-years. In our night sky, M33 appears relatively large, covering an area about eight times the width of the full moon, though it's faint and hard to spot without a telescope. M33 is part of the same local group of galaxies as the Milky Way and Andromeda, and it’s thought to be gravitationally bound to Andromeda, possibly even orbiting it. The galaxy is moving towards the Milky Way at about 100 kilometers per second, though much slower than Andromeda’s approach. M33 is also known for its bright, active star-forming regions, like NGC 604, one of the largest stellar nurseries in the local group, visible even in amateur telescopes. Over time, these galaxies may interact, and in the distant future, they could eventually merge." (synthesized from various sources)

Red hydrogen emission and blue reflection nebulae, dark molecular clouds and a bright star sitting in the middle, flooding the scene its yellow light... Sounds like the Rho Ophichui region?
Sure. There is, however, another smaller, but similarly colorful area in the sky:
Meet the Cave Nebula!
Officially designated Sh2-155, the Cave Nebula in the constellation Cepheus, is a diffuse nebula of ionized hydrogen with ongoing star formation activity, at an estimated distance of 2400 light-years from Earth. It lies within a larger complex containing emission, reflection, and dark nebulosity.
The name "Cave Nebula" for Sh2-155 was coined by Patrick Moore, presumably derived from photographic images showing a curved arc of emission nebulosity corresponding to a cave mouth. Earlier, the name was already used to refer to another brighter but unrelated reflection nebula in Cepheus, known as Ced 201. The name's application to Sh2-155 has come into vogue through the nebula's inclusion in Moore's Caldwell catalogue as object Caldwell 9.
