A couple of star-forming gas clouds in our Galaxy, IC 405 aka The Flaming Star Nebula on the left and IC 417 on the right. The greenish fuzz between them is Comet C/2020 M3 (ATLAS) photobombing the scene. The comet is elongated because it moved relative to the stars during the hour or so of total exposure time.
Tech: Nikon D800 (converted to record the light of hydrogen), 200-500mm f/5.6 @500mm, 53 frames each 90 sec., f/8, ISO 5000, iOptron CEM25P mount, stacked in Astro Pixel Processor and post-processed in Lightroom.
