The Crab Nebula is the shattered remnant of a massive star that ended its life in a supernova explosion nearly a thousand ago. It is located in the constellation of Taurus and the supernova explosion was observed by Chinese astronomers in the year 1054. It lies around 6,500 light years distant.

Again a year has passed...so fast! It was a great year... unfortunately quite cloudy. I hope 2019 is going to be better :)
This is a rework of NGC7635 captured in september 2018.

NGC 281, IC 11 or Sh2-184 is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is also associated with open cluster IC 1590, several Bok globules and the multiple star, B 1. It lies around 9200 light years from us. Colloquially, NGC 281 is also known as the Pacman Nebula. Imaged over 2 nights the 27th of August and 6th of September. The data from 27th Aug using a QHY294C was used to make a luminance image and combine it with narrowband data captured on the 6th of Sep.

Object: The Cygnus Wall in NGC7000 (SHO Palette) (Aug. 2025)
The Cygnus Wall or The Great Wall in Cygnus is the term for a structure in the North American Nebula (NGC7000) that comprise of prominent, bright ridge within the larger nebula. This area of the nebula exhibits the most concentrated star formation area in the complex of ionized gas and is located about 1600 to 1800 light-years away from Earth. The structure is a shock front surrounded by dark gas and dust in the constellation of Cygnus the Swan.

The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457) is an asymmetrical, face-on spiral galaxy distanced 21.6 million light-years from Earth in Ursa Major. At 252,000 light-years across it is 70% larger than our own Milky Way galaxy, has a disk mass of over 100 billion solar masses and contains about a trillion stars.

Took flats and dark flats, but did not improve image, so not used for this image.
Another 1st! Downloaded the new version of Pixinsight with Starnet++. Also tried a different OSC workflow.

Processed in PIxInsight 1.8
After a stressful battle to find out what was wrong with my colour calibration, I think I have it worked out (After two years of having the problem, and not knowing it). The main fault resulting in over the top saturation that I couldn't see - very embarrassing. I'm praying it now looks okay?
This is a smallish galaxy at only 7.8 arcminutes, and close to 10th mag. This is a small data set of 2.5 hours, but enough data to have some fun.
This is my first LRGB image for about 18 months, following a long testing period of working with my equipment at home with new software. I'm now looking forward to many more new LRGB data sets flowing in.
