The Elephant's Trunk nebula is a region of ionized gasses located in the constellation Cepheus at a distance of 2,400 light-years from Earth. Of interest in this area is the population of very young newborn stars, whose intense stellar winds are excavating the interior of the nebula. Dark wisps of dust hide the cocoon of forming stars, called "globules", which will be blown away when the star ignites.
Captured recently in Narrowband and Broadband using a QHY600 60 Megapixel Full Frame Monochrome CMOS camera mounted on a Takahashi 130 FSQ, courtesy of QHYCCD.

In this Hubble Palette version (SHO) the H-Alpha is mapped to green channel, SII is mapped to red channel and OIII is mapped to the blue channel. The raw data was preprocessed using Pixinsight, the stars were removed using a tool called "Starnet" I was so delighted with the result of the starless image I decided to post a starless image as well as the image with the RGB stars.
Captured bin 2x2 over 5 nights between March and July 2021 for a total acquisition time of 13.1 hours.

Imagen procesada por mi con Pixinsight y PS a partir de los ficheros existentes en el Hubble Archive Legacy y correspondientes a cuatro longitudes de onda 814, 658 , 555 y 435 nm. La imagen recoge la impresionante galaxia en espiral M51 , también llamada del remolino y la galaxia NGC 5195 sita al final de uno de los brazos.
Charles Messier descubrió en 1773 la galaxia del remolino, M51 o NGC5194 y en 1781 Pierre Mechain descubrió NGC5195, la galaxia acompañante. Las galaxias se encuentran a unos 31 millones de años luz de la Tierra en la constelación de Canes Venatici. Tiene una magnitud aparente de 8,4 y se puede detectar con un pequeño telescopio con mayor facilidad durante el mes de mayo en las cercanías de la estrella más oriental (Alkaid) de la Osa Mayor.
Los brazos son autenticas fabricas de estrellas y están recorridos por nebulosas de hidrógeno en color rojo intenso , a modo de pequeñas joyas , engarzadas por cadenas de polvo marrón.
NGC5195 la galaxia amarillenta en uno de los extremos de un brazo, está , de acuerdo a los datos del Hubble, pasando por detrás de la galaxia M51 , ejerciendo fuerzas de marea sobre los brazos.
Image processed by me with Pixinsight and PS from existing files in the Hubble Archive Legacy and corresponding to four wavelengths 814, 658, 555 and 435 nm. The image includes the impressive spiral galaxy M51, also called the whirlpool and the galaxy NGC 5195 located at the end of one of the arms.
Charles Messier discovered in 1773 the whirlpool galaxy, M51 or NGC5194 and in 1781 Pierre Mechain discovered NGC5195, the companion galaxy. The galaxies are located about 31 million light years from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.4 and can be detected with a small telescope more easily during the month of May in the vicinity of the easternmost star (Alkaid) of Ursa Major.
The arms are authentic factories of stars and are crossed by hydrogen nebulae in deep red color, like small jewels, set by chains of brown dust.
NGC5195, the yellowish galaxy at one end of an arm, is, according to Hubble data, passing behind the M51 galaxy, exerting tidal forces on the arms.
There is a lot of unglamorous work associated with owning a private observatory. In our case, we had to upgrade the telescope control system about a year ago and thereafter ensued a lot of additional upgrades and testing which revealed other problems we had not been aware of. Consequently we have cleaned the 26" primary mirror, adjusted the polar alignment, fine-tuned the tracking rate, laser-collimated the optical system, installed new dome control, installed a new auto-guiding system, added three new cameras and a new filter wheel. Each step is followed by testing an exhausting number of star images on every clear night available, which commences after our observatory guests have left around midnight.
You might guess that the glamorous part is getting to capture images of the wonders in our universe, but actually it is meeting the wonderful people who visit us and shake our hands when they leave.
Prior to this image, we had photographed the Pinwheel in April of 2021 and by a complete coincidence chose it as our live-stack object for guests about 10 1/2 hours after Supernova SN 2023ixf was discovered on May 19, 2023. At the time of discovery, the estimated magnitude was 14.9 and the object brightened significantly in our subsequent imaging to an estimated magnitude of 11 on May 22.
This image was taken on July 9, showing that the object has dimmed and while not a perfect image, we are noting significant improvement and claiming a bit of success following the work we have done on our imaging train thus far.

Localizado na constelação de escorpião, temos um dos Aglomerados abertos mais belos do nosso céu.
Ptolomeu observou esse aglomerado ainda no século II, em 1764 Charles Messier o catalogou em sua lista de objetos
como Messier 7.
Em um céu com pouca poluição luminosa é possível observa-lo a olho nú, próximo a cauda do escorpião.
Tem idade estimada em 220 milhões de anos e se encontra a 800 anos-luz da Terra. Sua magnitude aparente
é de 3,3.
Ao fundo dessa imagem podemos observar centenas de milhares de estrelas. Passear pelo background dessa
imagem nos da uma pequena noção do nosso tamanho no universo.
Acima desse denso véu de nossa casa, a viá láctea, podemos observar em seu esplendor o Aglomerado de Ptolomeu.
São cerca de 100 estrelas que compõem essa jóia encrustrada na cauda do escorpião.
Outro fator de destaque são as núvens de poeira. Elas encobrem parte do fundo da imagem, o que nos dá
uma noção de sua densidade, escurecendo algumas regiões da imagem.
No canto superior esquerdo, podemos também observar um aglomerado globular denominado: NGC 6453, descoberto
em 1837 por John Herschel

The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, M 27, or NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1,360 light-years.
Like many nearby planetary nebulae, the Dumbbell contains knots. Its central region is marked by a pattern of dark and bright cusped knots and their associated dark tails (see picture). The knots vary in appearance from symmetric objects with tails to rather irregular tail-less objects. Similarly to the Helix Nebula and the Eskimo Nebula, the heads of the knots have bright cusps which are local photoionization fronts.
The central star, a white dwarf, is estimated to have a radius which is 0.055±0.02 R☉ (0.13 light seconds) which gives it a size larger than most other known white dwarfs.

While the main and most prominent object in this image is the Glowing California Nebula otherwise known as NGC 1499, there is much dust and in the annotated version www.flickr.com/photos/terryhancock/49425960883/in/datepos... an abundance of distant galaxies are also visible. It only takes 1000 years for light to reach us from the California Nebula, yet in this very same image we are looking at photons that left the distant elliptical galaxy IC 2027 287 million years ago.

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.
IC410 is an emission nebula in the constellation of Auriga. Often called the Tadpole Nebula in reference to the two tadpole shaped clumps in the upper left of the nebula.
NGC1893 is the open cluster of stars in the middle of IC410. It's these stars that are ionizing and shaping the surrounding nebula. The tadpoles themselves could be collapsing in to new stars.
The nebula is around 12 to 12,500 light years away and 100 light years across.
The open star cluster is believed to have been formed 2 to 4 million years ago.

This image is a two-panel mosaic of the Heart Nebula and the Soul Nebula that was produced from separate images that were captured over two weeks apart. I did not frame the two captures with the intent to compose a mosiac, but it turned out that there was enough common edge between the two images, and enough overlap that a mosiac image was possible.

Comet ZTF was observed under scattered to broken cirrus clouds after moonset. Comet ZTF continues to lose its anti-tail although it is still noticeable in long duration images. The cropped image at left was taken with a Nikon d7100, Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 @ f/2.8, exp 5x80s, iso 3200, fixed comet and stars; the right image in the panel is an invert of the center without stars (57x80s or ~1.25 hours integrated time). All images post-processed with PixInsight.
Under dark moonless skies, the naked eye visibility was about the same as 24 hours earlier. I'd estimate the magnitude of the comet at +5.3. The left image was only 5 subs before comet drift became noticeable (6.7 mins integrated time).

I have added Sii and more Oiii narrowband to an earlier image of this shot in HOO + L and RGB for stars. The longest capture time for me so far totalling 35.5 hours,.
The Bubble Nebula is 7 light-years across – about one-and-a-half times the distance from our sun to its nearest stellar neighbour, Alpha Centauri – and resides 7,100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. For perspective, I worked out that it would take a Voyager Spacecraft about 140,000 years to travel across the Bubble Nebula.

The Rosette Nebula is a cloud of dust containing enough gas and dust to make about 10,000 stars like our Sun. In the centre of the nebula is a cluster of hot, bright young stars. These are warming up the surrounding gas and dust, making it appear bluer. The small, bright white regions are cocoons of dust in which huge stars are currently being born. These “protostars”, each one of which will probably become a star up to ten times more massive than the Sun, are heating up the surrounding gas and dust and making it clow brighter. The smaller, redder dots on the left side and near the centre of the image also contain protostars, but these are smaller, and will go on to form stars much like our Sun. Just as the centre of the nebula contains bright young stars, in a few tens or hundreds of millions of years these stars will have died, but the protostars will have evolved into fully-fledged stars in their own right. In this way, the star formation will move outwards through the nebula.
Windy weather greeted me at 4:22 am as a dry cold front moved through. Temperature dropped from 55F to 44F during the next hour as I attempted to capture Comet Lemmon. I took the best 24 raw images between 5:30am-5:45am and post-processed in Pixinsight. The moon was 65% illuminated.

From the Wiki…
NGC 2427 is an intermediate magellanic-type spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Puppis, about 44 million light-years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel in 1835.
About the galaxy NGC2427, there is little written about it, however the scene in which we view it is surrounded by massive areas of accumulated dust, some called “Cometary Globules”. A good example of a cometary globule can be seen in the top left of the image, with an orange star near centre of it. Cometary globules were first observed in 1976, and are described as interstellar clouds with comet-like morphology, consisting of compact, dusty, and opaque heads and long, faintly luminous tails. Unlike most dark clouds, CG's are isolated neutral globules surrounded by a hot ionized medium.
Thanks for looking.
