Out on a Wing Part 2
Image Description and Details :
Image of the area from Cederblad 90 to beyond NGC 2327 in Monoceros and Canis Major. This area is the right wing of the famous SeaGull Nebula (IC2177) lying approx 3,700 light years distant. The area is full of emission and reflection nebula. 10.2hrs of exposure time with a 152mm refractor and ASI 6200 CMOS camera using LRGB and Ha filters.

Eclipse and constellations
Image Description and Details : I wanted to share this photograph taken during the last total solar eclipse on December 14th.During the last total solar eclipse, in La Lobería, Río Negro, Argentina, on the edge of the South Atlantic and its immense cliffs, which helped to compose the image that I present here, 4 planets could be observed with the naked eye, some stars, and others could be captured with a long exposure photograph. The photography is the result of a composition of two images, one with a long exposure to capture the stars (where the eclipse was overexposed) and the other with a short exposure (with the eclipse well exposed).Cámera: Canon T3Lens: Tokina 11-16, in 11 mm F: 7.1 / 5.6ISO: 200 / 3200Exposure: 2 shots: 10 seconds and 1/20 seconds Software: Photoshop.

M42 and IC 434 widefield in Narrowband
Image Description and Details :
This image shows the Orion Nebula, De Mairan’s Nebula, the Horsehead Nebula and the Flame Nebula. It was taken with a small refractor telescope from the city. For this, narrowband filters were used and long exposure times helped reveal a lot of gas and dust all around the nebulae. The color was achieved by combining the narrowband channels into a “OHS” combination. This is rarely done and gives this part of the sky a unique look. Other combinations (Hubble Palette or true color) did not really make the objects pop as much. I believe the OHS combination is the best when it comes to imaging this section of the sky in narrowband only, although it is either you love it or you hate it!

NGC 3189 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.
NGC 1532 - a distorted edge-on barred spiral galaxy in Eridanus
NGC 1532 is a most unusual and beautiful galaxy. It is an edge-on barred spiral about 58 million light years away in the constellation of Eridanus.

SH2-200
Image Description and Details :
This nebula was first discovered by the astronomer Stewart Sharpless in 1959 who included it in his catalogue of HII regions under the name of Sh2-200. In 1983, Sh2-200 was included in the HDW catalogue of possible planetary nebulae by the astronomers Herbert Hartl, Johann Dengel and Ronald Weinberger. However it wasn't confirmed to be a true genuine planetary nebula until 2017 when spectra was taken as part of professional observations. In 1987, further narrowband observations by Herbert Hartl and Ronald Weinberger detected a large faint outer halo extending further than the central shell.Imaging telescopes or lenses: Takahashi FSQ130EDImaging cameras: QSI 6120iMounts: Takahashi EM 400 Temma 2Guiding cameras: QHY CCD QHY 5 IIDates: Nov. 22 - Dec. 12, 2020Frames:Astrodon Ha 5nm: 45x1200" Astrodon OIII 5nm: 45x1200"Astrodon RGB: 3x30x120" Integration: 33 Hours

The Great Orion Nebula and Running Man
The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion.
Lunar craters: Endymion & Hayn
Many interesting the crater Hayn located to the northeast limb of the Moon. The observation of the crater is affected by the libration phase and this limits its view.

Planetary nebula KjPn 8 and Bubble Nebula
Planetary nebula KjPn 8 (PN G112.5-00.1, K3-89) and Bubble Nebula (NGC7635) in the constellation Cassiopeia.KjPn 8 (PN G112.5-00.1, K3-89) is a bipolar planetary nebula which was discovered by M.A.Kazaryan and Eh.S.Parsamyan in 1971 and independently by Kohoutek in 1972. It is one of the strangest and possibly most unique planetary nebulae in the sky. In my image, we see it on the left side of the frame below the center. Planetary nebula consists of a compact red core (apparent size is about 3–4 arcsec in diameter) surounded by a huge bipolar lobe structure that measures 12x5 arcminutes. There is the possibility that the two separate structures are two separate planetary nebulae formed from both members of a binary star system moving onto the planetary nebula phase within a few thousand years of each other.
