The Eagle Nebula (Messier 16 or M16) is nebulosity surrounding a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens. The dark center of the nebula was made famous as the "Pillars of Creation" when imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is approximately 5700 light years from Earth.
This image is the one that the starless images was created from. It is a more natural rendition than the Hubble Palette version.

Wiki: The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as the Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, and NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula (nebulosity surrounding a white dwarf) in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1360 light-years. It was the first such nebula to be discovered, by Charles Messier in 1764.
This is a beautiful and easy target for amateur astronomers. This picture is probably my best so far for this target!

This is an image of the Sunflower Galaxy in Canes Venatici.
Discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1779 it lies at approaching 30 million light-years from earth and is some 100,000 light-years across. It was catalogued by Charles Messier as M63. The galaxy is also catalogued NGC 5055.
The galaxy has been given its moniker because of its resemblance to the dense, seedy head and overlapping petals of a Sunflower!
M63 is what is known as a flocculent spiral galaxy. These galaxies are characterised by their patchy, feathery, flaky or lumpy disjointed arms giving a mottled appearance. The Sunflower has only 2 spiral arms but the flocculate appearance makes it hard to define them.
Surprisingly, flocculate galaxies actually make up 30% of spiral galaxies with only 10% being grand design spirals - the more common perception of what a galaxy should look like!
A prominent dust lane is visible in the galaxy at front left.
Imaged with a Skywatcher Esprit 120ED and a ZWO 2600MC camera.

NGC 6744 is an intermediate spiral galaxy about 30 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Pavo. It also has at least one distorted companion galaxy (NGC 6744A) which is similar to one of the Magellanic Clouds. It was discovered by James Dunlop a Scottish astronomer in Parramatta Australia on 30 June 1826.
We are extremely happy with how this image came out considering we lost 15 x 300 seconds of RGB frames due to some issue that I have not identified yet. There were also some extreme gradients which took some innovative processing to remove in PixInsight.

NGC 1499, The California Nebula, lies 1000 light years away and spans 2.5 degrees in our apparent view. This nebula is very bright in Ha, but the pleasant surprise was the OIII signal between the Ha and the star ξPer. I decided to go with HOO only and not include SII signal as the beautiful red and blue contrast each other very well.
The OIII signal extends quite far from the Ha signal and almost looks as if it reflecting the blue light from the star ξPer.
I'm happy with the wide field view of this nebula. It gives a nice broad presentation and the extend of the OIII signal can be appreciated.
Its a different take on this object, as for me the main highlight is the OIII instead of the Ha

The Lagoon Nebula (M8), is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula.
This is the latest version of the Lagoon Nebula, is another re-process of the image taken 17/07/2020 from my house in Melbourne. This is 20 x 3 min Ha, 30 x 3min Sii and 28 X 3min OIII sub frames with dark, flat and bias frame subtraction. It was captured at 0'c using the SBIG ST2000xm on an 8" carbon fibre Newtonian reflector on a Skywatcher NEQ6 mount.

Galaxy Season is almost upon us so I thought I'd get things underway a little early with a January attempt at two of my favorite galaxies. Here are two gems of the northern sky- M81 and M82, known as Bode's Galaxy and the Cigar Galaxy respectively. These two galaxies are sort of right in the middle of a group of galaxies encompassing the constellation of Ursa Major (the Big Dipper). Bode's is one of the most picturesque and gorgeous observable spiral galaxies in my opinion. The pair reside about 12 million light years away, meaning we are looking at some pretty old light 🔭
Bode's is about 36,000 light years in diameter with approximately 20 billion suns- making it one of the densest known galaxies. It was discovered by EJ Bode in 1774. M82 / the Cigar Galaxy is intricately involved with Bode's and has undergone a series of fascinating and somewhat mysterious gravitational events due to their gravitation intermingling. M82 has rapid and diverse star creation as a result of this cosmic interaction.
Their cosmic dance will "soon" come to an end however as it's theorized that the two will merge into one galaxy within the next few billion years- not unlike our own Milky Way and neighboring giant Andromeda.

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs from Earth. It is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way and was often referred to as the Great Andromeda Nebula in older texts... (from Wikipedia)
Being a very large object in our sky, my telescope's 1000mm focal length and 1.25º x 0.83º field of view wasn't nearly enough to capture whole galaxy in one shoot so my choice was "left" part of the galaxy including it's bright core which contains supermassive black whole. In spiral arms there are lots of dust lanes and big blueish star cloud known as NGC 206 along with some of the Ha regions visible. There is also small but bright satellite galaxy M32 near upper edge of the Andromeda Galaxy

My first try with the new chip that was put in the camera to replace the broken usb.
I was sent a QHY183M mono chip not the QHY183C Colour chip caused all sorts of problems in the end this camera getting found is now know as QHY183M but takes coloured photos. I lost a whole lot of time with the camera Changes and setting up. This is in effect only 33 shots But happy the way it came out.

Nel buio del cosmo, brilla il sovrano degli dèi: Giove, il colosso celeste. Come il mitico Iuppiter dominava l’Olimpo con il fulmine in pugno, così il pianeta più grande regna nel nostro Sistema Solare. La sua immensa gravità protegge la Terra da comete ed asteroidi, proprio come il padre degli dèi manteneva l’ordine tra uomini e divinità.
Osservarlo è come scrutare l’antico volto del mito, impresso nel cielo.

Almost a year ago Almost to the day My first ever photo with a dedicated astro camera was taken. it was not without the huge effort of Carlos Taylor to tame the Computer and all the programs. NGC253 a year apart and a different camera(1520mm POV) but same scope and target. to look back is to see just how far you have come is a good thing you see just how more rewarding this type of photos are. I am happy that I have been able to do the target and effort of Carlos Taylor and more than a few others out there giving support, some justice. never in my wildest dream thought I would be able to produce an image like this. this was the level I always wanted to shot astro photos from the start.
QHY183C -10c 136 shot 10 min over three nights( one of those set on auto when i was out shooting the milky way well away from home see below) night 4 is burn off smoke and clouds so I post some 22 hours of shot time.

The waxing evening moon (around 88% illuminated) imaged from suburban Belfast, last evening. Just before the clouds rolled in. Skywatcher Esprit 120ED and a ZWO 2600MC
IC1396 featuring the Elephant Trunk nebula. Shot using Ha and Oiii filters on completely stock Canon DSLRs.
This was first light on my new setup. Totally new everything aside from camera. I upgraded from a Star Adventurer to an EQ6R-Pro which was a definite learning curve. The first few nights were super frustrating, I just couldn't get anything to work and it felt so inconsistent and like I was never going to get an image.
I also am currently using a Canon 400mm 2.8 IS III, which is just awesome.
Overall I'm really loving this setup, it's incredible to use and so nice to be able to remote operate it.

First Look at the NEQ6 pro, this is 44 shot on the only night in lock down to be able to shoot now its back into rain and clouds.
44 Shots 10min each till the tree got in the way and clouds came over in the early hours of the morning.. when you see the number of stars in this one shot really puts thing into perspective.

This is a second look at this Nebula with a whole new Camera QHY183C a replacement for the ZWOASI183MC that was faulty. I could focus automatically with this camera hence the detail in the eye is much better than the first one with the ZWO. This camera took a bit to get use to as I had to change wires and ports on the computer to get this to run and download photos.
35 shot 10 min each till the tree got in the way.

Alnitak and the Horsehead nebula - by Mike O'Day ( 500px.com/mikeoday )..Orion's Belt - centred on "Alnitak", is a 1.7 magnitude triple star 740 light years from Earth and appears at one end of the belt. ..The Flame nebula ( cat: NGC 2024 or Sharpless 2-277 ) ( lower centre left of the image) glows yellow-pink due to the ionising radiation that comes from Alnitak. Seen from Earth, the Flame nebula is behind Alnitak and around 80 light years further away from Earth. ..The Horsehead nebula ( cat: Barnard 33 ) ( centre right of the image ) is a dark dust and gas cloud that is only visible from Earth due to the backlight illumination and silhouetting caused by the bright pink glow from the ionised hydrogen gas in the emission nebula IC 434.

The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant, many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers. The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun which exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago.
The famous Wizard Nebula, but my version. This is 46 hrs and 50 min. of stacked SHO images with 1.5 hrs of RGB stars. It's 7,200 light years away, in the constellation Cepheus, which is near the north star. Not visible to the naked eye, but can't escape my telescope !
