The Andromeda galaxy (M31/M32/M110) from my backyard.

This was a bonus shot after shooting the stars for the elephant's trunk nebula.

Last night's effort on IC1396 The Elephant's trunk nebula from my backyard.
Predominately red (Ha) round emision nebula with many dark nebula through including the long narrow pillar of the elephant's trunk & many stars, the most prominent being the red garnet star.

The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) in the constellation Cygnus, roughly 5,000 lightyears from Earth. Discovered in 1792 by William Herschel, the nebula itself is 25 lightyears across. Redcat51 WIFD telescope (250mm), ZWO ASI585 camera on a Skywatcher Star GTi mount; about 3 hours of exposure time.

A wide field shot of part of the constellation of Cygnus covering the Tulip Nebula, WR134 & if you know where to look Cygnus X1 (thought to be a black hole though there is some debate again).
Clouds of red hydrogen and millions of stars in the consellation Cygnus the Swan featuring the flower like Tulip nebula & the blue arc created by Wolf Rayet star (134). The Tulip nebula a red flower among clouds of hydrogen & stars WR134 Wolf Rayet star which created the blue nebula that you can see.

IC 1396 as seen from our backyard. 2000 one minute images, no filter, on our Redcat51 with a ZWOASI533mc pro camera. Stacked and processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop. I love this nebula! 🔭📸 #astronomy #astrosky

Glad to have some clear nights here in the Pacific Northwest; captured the veil nebula here with my redcat51, post processed with PixInsight. #astronomy
Veil Nebula; wispy reds and greens over a muted starfield.

It's been too windy for larger scopes so gave the little Redcat51 a go. This is the North America nebula NGC7000 & Pelican nebula IC 5070.
Large red HII region shaped like North America & a pellican though at a certain angle I can see Falkor The Neverending Story dragon.

The Jellyfish nebula / supernova remnant & open cluster Messier 35 NGC 2158 shot from my soggy backyard.
A star filled background, red supernova remnant, pretty blue irregular shaped cluster adjacent a smaller compact orange star cluster.

Just finished up about 6hrs of data on the Seagull Nebula in Monoceros. It’s about 4000 ly from Earth. I used a OSC camera, a RedCat51 & 2 Antlia dual narrowband filters: one capturing Ha & OIII. The other capturing SII & Hb. I then split & recombined the channels in SHO pallet. 🔭 #Astrophotography
A nebula shaped like a flying seagull fills the frame in different wavelengths of light resulting in vibrant colors that define the makeup of the nebula.
