The Andromeda Galaxy (IPA: /ænˈdrɒmɪdə/), also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula (see below), is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years (770 kiloparsecs) from Earth and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way.[4] The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda, which itself is named after the Ethiopian (or Phoenician) princess who was the wife of Perseus in Greek mythology. (source Wikipedia)
Messier 78 is a reflection nebula located in the constellation of Orion. M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula in the sky and lies at an approximate distance of 1,600 light years. This is by far the most difficult object I have attempted to process. Imaged over 2 nights, the 29th and 30th of January. On both nights conditions were below average conditions and I had to stretch the data quite a bit to bring out the detail.

Clouds were problematic but I managed to get 30 subs exp 10s at iso 500, F/4 with my 180mm telephoto lens. Transparency was a 2 of 10. Stacked and post process in PixInsight.
The green nucleus is a new feature and the comet is around 4.5 magnitude. The anti-tail is barely visible at the lower right in this 7.5x5.0 degree field of view image.

Originally captured 25th March 2014.
My final reprocess with this data using techniques learned in Pixinsight. Unusual for me to say this but I am quite pleased with this. Especially considering the limited data capture time.
First proper use of my Atik 490 CCD. Telescope was Skywatcher 250pds. Baader LRGB Filters. Guiding was QHY5 II mounted on finder scope.
Software was Artemis capture and Processed in Pixinsight.
Exposures were all Binned 2x2 200secs x5 except Luminance which was 1x1 300 secs x5.
First attempt with starless layers to bring more details, depth and structure in the nebulas

NGC 281 ... commonly known as the Pacman Nebula because of its vague resemblance to the famous video game character ... is an emission nebula found in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. Discovered in 1883 by Edward Emerson Barnard, it is approximately 9000 light years from earth.
This is the result of 900 ten second images taken with the Seestar telescope ... stacked and processed in PixInsight, Nik Collection plugin for Photoshop, and Topaz software.

It took me three short summer nights to capture this image with the Moon at 96% Ha (5:50), 99% OIII (5:20), and 100% RGB (3x1:20), for 15h10 in total.
The small planetary nebula is PN A66 69, located on the left in the upper half of the image.

Peek toward the handle of the Big Dipper with a telescope and you can find the Pinwheel Galaxy also known as M101. It lies 21 million light-years away, meaning the light traveled for 21 million years before hitting my camera's sensor. Discovered in 1781 by Pierre Méchain, one of Charles Messier's colleagues, the spiral arms stretches 170,000 light-years wide—almost twice the size of our Milky Way Galaxy.

My a7rIII and adapted Nikon 800mm f/5.6 lens were mounted to my SkyWatcher EQ6-R mount using a vixen rail. The guidescope/camera was fixed to the front of the rail. I used SharpCap to achieve "excellent" polar alignment. I shot ISO 1600 at f/5.6. I took 212-second exposures using PHD2 with my guidescope to keep tracking accurately. I brought the lights/darks/flats/bias frames into PixInsight for stacking and aligning and then used: STF, Cropping, GraXpert, Dynamic Background Extraction, BlurXTerminator, plate solving, color correction, NoiseXTerminator, and then the galaxy was separated from the stars using StarXterminator, and both files processed and stretched separately and then recombined using PixelMath. That file was brought into Lightroom for Metadata and EXIF tags, light post-processing, and cropping. I used Photoshop to sharpen the final image.
With a month's delay, here's my Mars-between-Pleiades-and-Hyades pic. Only 14 of my exposures were reasonably cloud-free, so this needed a lot of denoising and, ultimately, a 2x total downsample.

This is a long running project of mine: to slowly gather enough photons to image this wickedly faint blue nebula, known as the giant squid nebula. It's shape and emissions are consistent with it being a planetary nebula (the remains of a dying sun-like star). It sits in front of the majestic Bat Nebula (red) which is an emission region. It's not known exactly how close these two nebula might actually be to one another, but they make for a dramatic sight together!

NGC 7000
The North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). The remarkable shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico.

This is a reprocess of M31 using Affinity Photo for non-linear processing instead of PixInsight. I think that the result is pretty good for the first time out, and I got a sense that using this tool instead of PixInsight holds some powerful possibilities that will take much more practice and experience to reach a mastery level.

The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus, at about 2400 light years from us.
It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop,a supernova remnant, many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers. In modern usage, the names Veil Nebula, Cirrus Nebula, and Filamentary Nebula generally refer to all the visible structure of the remnant, or even to the entire loop itself. The structure is so large that several NGC numbers were assigned to various arcs of the nebula. There are three main visual components: 1. The Western Veil (also known as Caldwell 34), consisting of NGC 6960 (the "Witch's Broom", Lacework Nebula, "Filamentary Nebula"; 2. The Eastern Veil (also known as Caldwell 33), whose brightest area is NGC 6992, trailing off farther south into NGC 6995 (together with NGC 6992 also known as "Network Nebula"; 3. Pickering's Triangle (or Pickering's Triangular Wisp), brightest at the north central edge of the loop, but visible in photographs continuing toward the central area of the loop.
The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun which exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. At the time of the explosion, the supernova would have appeared brighter than Venus in the sky, and visible in the daytime. The remnants have since expanded to cover an area of the sky roughly 36 times the area of the full Moon.
