NGC 1333 is a reflection nebula located in the constellation of Perseus. It belongs to the Perseus molecular cloud and is one of the closest star forming regions to us at around 1000 light years. One I must re-visit with one of my refractors as there is so much more detail to be found in this region. Found this one challenging to process. Imaged over 2 nights the 2nd and 26th of October 2019.

This is my second RGB image after flocking my focuser drawtube. The reason for a second image is that the data and the processing were so different that I wanted to try shorter exposure durations. I learned from this that I produced many more subs, which were a storage and a processing burden. Longer subs are just fine.

M42 in all its glory, this is a composite of two images one for the main part of the nebula and one for the core detail. Pretty pleased with this as it was captured in not the best conditions there was some high cloud when capturing the RGB.

 

I did capture some data with the luminance filter but never used it as it did not add anything I ended up using the Ha as the luminance layer.

The nebula Messier 78 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and included by Charles Messier in his catalog of comet-like objects that same year.

M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula of a group of nebulae that include NGC 2064, NGC 2067 and NGC 2071. This group belongs to the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex and is about 1,600 light years distant from Earth. M78 is easily found in small telescopes as a hazy patch and involves two stars of 10th magnitude. These two stars, HD 38563A and HD 38563B, are responsible for making the cloud of dust in M78 visible by reflecting their light.

Updated photo 01-06-23. Perhaps a bit more accurate colors?

First attempt at Pixinsight for post processing. Better result (IMO) than with Capture One. Very powerful program, but learning curve is steep🙀 Not sure what it is, but dark circles in background. If anyone has any ideas as to source, or how to remove your comments would be appreciated.

The Medusa Nebula, also known as Abell 21, is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Gemini, about 1,500 light-years from Earth. It is the remnant of a dying star that shed its outer layers, forming a complex, glowing shell of ionized gas. Its twisted, filamentary appearance and faint greenish hue give it a resemblance to the serpent-haired figure from Greek mythology, inspiring its name.

The Iris Nebula or NGC 7023, is a bright reflection nebula located in the constellation of Cepheus. The designation NGC 7023 refers to the open cluster within the larger reflection nebula designated LBN 487.

The nebula, which shines at magnitude +6.8, is illuminated by a magnitude +7.4 star designated SAO 19158.

Started this one back in April2021 but ended up ditching 5hrs30mins of data as the subs captured in August 2021 were of far better quality because of weather conditions.
