NGC 281 is an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeea. surrounds the open cluster IC 1590. It is sometimes called the Pacman Nebula.
It is located 1.5 degrees east of the α Cassiopeiae; powerful instruments are needed to detect the nebula, which is certainly the most important object, since the cluster associated with it is formed by a few stars and dominated by a double star of eighth magnitude. The nebula appears sharply furrowed by a dark vein, which crosses it east-west; perpendicular to this one another is identified, facing south: thus a "T" is formed that deeply marks the whole object.

On the night of Sunday July 8, 2018, I took seven 30-second exposure original pictures with Canon 6D Mark II camera and Rokinon 14 mm f/2.8 lens. Later I stacked them in Sequator to reduce noise and post-processed the TIFF file in Lightroom CC to generate this final picture.
Taken - after a recording time of 32 minutes - with my new digital telescope “ZWO Seestar S50 Smart Telescope”.
The Orion Nebula or Great Orion Nebula (also known as Messier-42, M42 or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebubula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion, and is knoes as the middle "star" in the "sword" of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye as a bright spot in the night sky.
De Mairan's Nebula (Messier-43, M43 or NGC 1982 is physically part of the Orion Nebula and looks like a sphere, and is separated from Orion Nebula by a dense (black) lane of dust known as Northeast Dark Lane.
At the top left you can already see the Running Man or Ghost Nebula (Sh2-279, S279 or NGC 1977) - still quite dark.
The photo consists of many individual images, each exposed for 10 seconds over a period of 32 minutes and automatically stacked by the Smart Telescope. This suppresses image noise and reveals more details - the longer the recording time, the clearer the result.
I then edited the resulting photo with Luminar Neo and jpg-Illuminator.

Aufgenommen nach einer Aufnahmezeit von 32 Minuten mit meinem neuen Digitalteleskop “ZWO Seestar S50 Smart Teleskop”.
Der Orionnebel oder Große Orionnebel (auch bekannt als Messier-42, M42 oder NGC 1976) ist ein diffuser Nebel in der Milchstraße, der sich südlich (unterhalb) des Oriongürtels im Sternbild Orion befindet und als mittlerer „Stern“ im „Schwert“ des Orion bekannt ist. Er ist einer der hellsten Nebel und am Nachthimmel mit bloßem Auge als heller Fleck sichtbar.
De Mairans Nebel (Messier-43, M43 oder NGC 1982) ist physikalisch Teil des Orionnebels und sieht aus wie eine Kugel. Er ist vom Orionnebel durch eine dichte (schwarze) Staubspur getrennt, die als "Northeast Dark Lane" bezeichnet wird.
Oben links kann man bereits - noch recht dunkel - den "Running Man" oder Geisternebel (Sh2-279, S279 oder NGC 1977) erkennen.
Das Foto besteht aus vielen Einzelbildern, die während eines Zeitraums von 32 Minuten jeweils 10 Sekunden belichtet und durch das Smart Telekop automatisch "gestackt" (gestapelt) wurden. Dadurch wird das Bildrauschen unterdrückt und es werden mehr Details sichtbar - je länger die Aufnahmezeit, desto klarer also das Ergebnis. Danach habe ich das so entstandene Foto mit Luminar Neo und jpg-Illuminator nachbearbeitet.

Clearly recognizable to the naked eye as an object of non-stellar nature, it is located south of the famous asterism of Orion's Belt at the center of the so-called Sword of Orion, in the constellation of the same name.
Located at a distance of about 1500 light-years from Earth, it extends for about 24 light-years and is the closest star-forming region to the Solar System. Old publications refer to this nebula with the name of Great Nebula, while more anciently the astrological texts reported the same name of the star Eta Orionis, Ensis (the sword), which however is located in another part of the constellation. It is one of the most photographed and studied objects of the sky, and is under constant control due to the celestial phenomena that take place inside it; Astronomers have discovered protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs and intense movements of gas and dust in its innermost regions.
The Orion Nebula contains a very young open cluster known as the Trapezium. [
The Zodiacal Light is caused by meteoroid dust in the plane of the solar system, and is only visible shortly before dawn and after dusk in areas of very low light pollution.

Hi friends!
A whole new revision of the data I collected in early spring on M42, Bernard 33 and NGC 2024. I was able to get some more interstellar dust out, which is quite prevalent in the region. Yes, there is a bit more noise, but that was the price of getting the most detail out. The data is relatively sparse, which I'll fix as soon as Orion gets evening visibility. (It's rising quite, quite late now.)
The Orion Nebula, also known as M42, is a diffuse nebula located in the constellation Orion. Located 1,500 light-years from the Sun, it represents the closest region of active star formation.
The Horsehead Nebula also known as the Barnard 33 Nebula in the bright nebula IC 434) is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion.
The Flame Nebula (NGC2024) - Named for the lovely yellow-orange-red hues created by the ionization of the gases of which it is composed, under the influence of the strong radiation of the very bright star Alnitak.

The Laguna Nebula (also known as M 8, or NGC 6523) is a diffuse nebula in the constellation Sagittarius. it was discovered by Le Gentil in 1747.
It is one of the brightest H II regions of the celestial vault and is also visible to the naked eye under fairly clear, dark skies.
The Trifid Nebula (also known as M 20, or NGC 6514) is an emission nebula and H II region in the constellation Sagittarius.
It owes its name to the three dark lines of dust clouds that divide it into three parts.
NGC 6530 is an open cluster in the constellation Sagittarius. It has a diameter of 10 arc minutes, with stars as bright as 7th magnitude. It exists within nebula Messier 8, the Lagoon Nebula.

I'm so pleased to have been able to capture the Zodiacal Light for only the second time, and this time I was able to get the entire cone rather than just the bottom.
Zodiacal Light is caused by sunlight being forward scattered by interplanetary dust grains. It can be seen on a moonless night in the west after sunset during early spring, or in the east before sunrise during autumn.
It wasn't something I could see visually but it was showing up faintly on single 25 second exposures, so I decided to take a few photos and stack them. On the right hand side, the elongated smudge is M31 the Andromeda Galaxy. I checked Stellarium for the position and my cone of light is in exactly the right place.
Photos were taken from about a mile outside of my village in North Oxfordshire where there are no street lights at all. I used a Canon 1100D with Canon 10-18mm wide angle lens. I took 9 x 25 second shots taken at ISO-3200 f/4.5. I stacked them with 12 darks using Sequator. The cloud was thickening up soon after this shot was taken so I couldn't grab many more shots.
Processing was done in Photoshop CS2, Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. This is a slightly cropped version. You can see the full frame version here: flic.kr/p/2n5MjvW
