Back in late September and early October 2018, I booked T32 in Siding Spring Observatory (Australia, part of iTelescope.net) over 3 nights to image a small part of the Large Magellanic Cloud through narrowband filters.
The telescope performed moderately well with some images slightly out of focus, but the most difficult part for me was dealing with column defects on the CCD sensor. I tediously listed 73 by hand, and some of them still show up after processing ...

NGC3572 es un cúmulo estelar que se puede ver en la imagen superior en el centro, está compuesto por un grupo de estrellas jóvenes y se encuentra cerca de la Nebulosa Carina en el hemisferio sur. Pero lo más sorprendente de este paisaje cósmico son los gases empujados por las estrellas y que forman estructuras increíbles parecidas a trompas de elefante o renacuajos, como se puede ver en otras nebulosas. La región es una bonita nebulosa de emisión. Densas corrientes de materia dentro de la nebulosa, erosionadas por los vientos estelares y la radiación, se mantienen alejadas de las estrellas jóvenes y energéticas.

NGC3572 is a star cluster that can be seen in the image at the top in the center, is composed of a group of young stars and is located near the Carina Nebula in the southern hemisphere.But the most surprising thing about this cosmic landscape are the gases pushed by the stars and that form incredible structures similar to elephant trunks or tadpoles, as can be seen in other nebulae. The region is a pretty emission nebula. Dense streams of matter within the nebula, eroded by stellar winds and radiation, stay away from young, energetic stars.The image in SHO palette was taken between January 10 and February 3, 2022 from Namibia with an AG Optical iDK 20" remote telescope, focal length of 3420mmPlanewave L-500 mountFLI Proline 16803 CCD with rotatorFilters: Ha OIII SII5 hours and 40 minutes of shots distributed in:Ha.... 15 x 600sOIII... 10 x 600sSII ... 9 x 600s

The main part of the above imaged molecular cloud complex is a reflection nebula cataloged as IC 4592. Reflection nebulas are actually made up of very fine dust that normally appears dark but can look quite blue when reflecting the light of energetic nearby stars. In this case, the source of much of the reflected light is a star at the eye of the horse. That star is part of Nu Scorpii, one of the brighter star systems toward the constellation of the Scorpion Scorpius. A second reflection nebula dubbed IC 4601 is visible surrounding two stars on in the horses neck region lower right of centre.

This striking barred intermediate spiral Galaxy shows interesting detail in this long exposure gathered over two years.
“NGC 6744 (also known as Caldwell 101) is an intermediate spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years away in the constellation Pavo (Peacock). It is considered as a Milky Way mimic in our immediate vicinity, displaying flocculent (fluffy) arms and an elongated core. It also has at least one distorted companion galaxy (NGC 6744A) superficially similar to one of the Magellanic Clouds…
NGC 6744 lies within the Virgo Supercluster.” Wikipedia

This is the great globular cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139) the brightest and grandest globular cluster of them all. When you consider this deep frame is almost 2 deg on the side you can appreciate the enormous amount of sky this ball of stars takes up and equates to an area several times that off the full moon! Many distant background galaxies can be found peeping through the millions of foreground Milky Way stars and some very faint Milky Way Cirrus dust can be seen hovering across the lower half of the frame too.

The Great Nebula in Orion, an immense, nearby starbirth region, is probably the most famous of all astronomical nebulas. Here, glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1500 light-years away. In the above deep image, faint wisps and sheets of dust and gas are particularly evident. The Great Nebula in Orion can be found with the unaided eye just below and to the left of the easily identifiable belt of three stars in the popular constellation Orion. In addition to housing a bright open cluster of stars known as the Trapezium, the Orion Nebula contains many stellar nurseries. These nurseries contain hydrogen gas, hot young stars, proplyds, and stellar jets spewing material at high speeds. Also known as M42, the Orion Nebula spans about 40 light years and is located in the same spiral arm of our Galaxy as the Sun. The blue nebula above M42 is NGC1977, also named the running man nebula (text adapted from APOD).

Perhaps the most famous star cluster on the sky, the Pleiades can be seen without binoculars from even the depths of a light-polluted city. Also known as the Seven Sisters and M45, the Pleiades is one of the brightest and closest open clusters. The Pleiades contains over 3000 stars, is about 400 light years away, and only 13 light years across. Quite evident in the above photograph are the blue reflection nebulae that surround the brighter cluster stars. Low mass, faint, brown dwarfs have also been found in the Pleiades. (Text adapted from APOD).
This object was imaged from my southern Australian observatory, with a maximum elevation from the horizon between 30 and 35 degrees..

The Cocoon Nebula (IC5146) is around 15 light years across and some 4,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. It is a newly developing cluster of stars, glowing in red hydrogen gas created by the young hot stars. The bright star in the centre of the nebula is estimated to be only a few hundred thousand years old.
I captured the data for this image late last year using LRGB filters on a 20" Planewave telescope in the dark skies of New Mexico via a remote observatory. This image is two hours of data integration.

200 million light-years distant toward the constellation Pegasus, NGC 7771 is the large, edge-on spiral near center, about 75,000 light-years across, with two smaller galaxies just to the right of it. Large spiral NGC 7769 is seen face-on at the top of the image. Galaxies of the NGC 7771 group are interacting, making repeated close passages that will ultimately result in galaxy-galaxy mergers on a cosmic timescale. (APOD abridged)

Esta foto es un campo grandioso , formado por el arrecife cósmico de las nebulosas NGC 2020 y 2014, abajo a la derecha. En el medio a la izquierda podemos ver el cumulo NGC 2040 que acompaña a una nebulosa con forma de capullo de una rosa roja , las estrellas jóvenes y masivas , son como pequeños diamantes en la flor, va acompañada por unas nebulosas de emisión de OIII azul, NGC 2035, 2032 y 2030.
Arriba en el centro se ven varias nebulosas mas débiles como NGC 2011 y DEM 240 . Toda esta zona es rica en emisiones de hidrógeno ionizado y oxígeno III, y se encuentra en la la Gran nube de Magallanes , en la constelación de Dorado. Esta zona se encuentra a unos 160.000 años luz de la Vía Láctea.
La imagen se tomó con un telescopio iDK óptico AG de 20 ", una distancia focal de 3420 mm y una montura Planewave L-500.

This photo is a great field, formed by the cosmic reef of the 2020 and 2014 NGC nebulae, bottom right. In the middle to the left we can see the NGC 2040 cluster that accompanies a nebula shaped like a bud of a red rose, the young and massive stars are like small diamonds in the flower, it is accompanied by nebulae of blue OIII emission , NGC 2035, 2032 and 2030.
Above in the center are several fainter nebulae such as NGC 2011 and DEM 240. This entire area is rich in emissions of ionized hydrogen and oxygen III, and is located in the Great Magellanic Cloud, in the constellation of Dorado. This area is located about 160,000 light years from the Milky Way.
The image is taken with a 20 "AG Optical iDK telescope, focal length of 3420mm and a mount Planewave L-500 mount.

The calibration files used are from 2019, I somehow did not keep the ones from 2018 ... I ended up with an annoying dark band at the top of the image and had to crop tighter around the nebula, loosing some nearby nebulosities in OIII. Oh well ...
