Image Description and Details :

I present you my last acquisition since the setup HAO_4. these are two nebulae including one (Ou4) discovered by my friend the French astrophotographer Nicolas Outters in June 2011. This is the Giant Squid (in blue/green in the image) which is a bipolar planetary nebula located about 2000 light-years from Earth surrounded by the Flying Bat Nebula (cataloged Sh2-129 in red), both are located in the direction of the cepheus constellation.

mage Description and Details : I present to you an exotic object that was initially discovered as a planetary nebula but was requalified as a supernova afterglow that occurred over 7,500 years ago.
Located about 10,000 light years from home towards the Cassiopeia constellation, these are the filamentary remnants of a supernova that have a shell shape, part of which is doubly ionized oxygen (in blue) while the rest (in red) is essentially ionized hydrogen.

- iOptron 60 cem ec mount
- Asi 2600 mm pro
- 6nm astronomik filters
- Acquisition sampling: 1.7 arcsec
- 92 x 600s HA i.e. 15 h 20 min
- 181 x 600s O3 i.e. 30 h 10 min
- 3 x 30 x 60s RGB i.e. 1 h 30 min
- Total integration: 47 h
- DOF: 31/149/25
- Date: August 2021
- Location: HAO4 observatory of Oukaimeden, Morocco.

Image Description and Details : Here is the planetary nebula known by the sweet name Abell 39. Very dim, it is located about 6800 light-years from home in the direction of the constellation of Hercules.
Its peculiarity lies in its almost spherical shape, and despite its too small angular size, its radius is 2.5 LY making it one of the largest known planetary nebulae.

Image Description and Details : Here is my first object captured in 2020.
This is the dolphin head nebula, Cataloged Sharpless SH 2-308, it is about 5,200 light-years from home towards the constellation of the Big Dog.
The massive star (Wolf-Rayet type) that created the bubble is the bright star located near the center of the nebula.
It generates a powerful radiation which drives out the gas around thus creating a giant bubble.
Technical details :
