Stellar Nursery in Perseus
Our Milky Way is actually full of dust, but hidden in the black starry background, it is not easy to see. Only by accumulating a long time of exposure, the dust that pervades the stars will show up, presenting rich details of intricate complexity.
This large patch of dust in the picture is part of the Perseus molecular cloud, located at the junction of Taurus, Aries, and Perseus, about 1,000 light years away from the Earth. The dust with a total mass equivalent to 10,000 suns is gathered in clusters or twisted into twists. The thick areas are dense and opaque, and darker than space itself.
In this darkest corner, new light is gestating.
The dust near the center, a little red light came out from it, that was a star cluster forming in it. Beside this dust, a newborn star dispelled the haze, illuminating the surroundings with bright light, and became the brightest deep sky object in this area.
In the new Chinese year of the ox, may the world sweep away the dust, dispel darkness, and reappear light.

M83 The Southern Pinwheel galaxy
Another nice project made with Olivier Désormières from the SADR Team (acquisition Arnaud Peel and Olivier Désormières, processing Arnaud Peel): a complete new version with new RGB in bin 1x1 this time: I tried to keep as much as possible the faint details in the Hapha globules and enhanced the spiralSo thanks a lot to Olivier for the acquisition of a great Luminance and RGB with the Sadr association setup , Newton 14'' in Chile.I select the best FWHM subs for the luminance.60s subs were made not to burn the center of the galaxy.Red 20 subs@300s -20°C bin 1 gain highBlue 20 subs@300s -20°C bin 1 gain highGreen 20 subs@300s -20°C bin 1 gain highLight 30 subs@60s -20°C, gain highLight 39 subs@300s -20°C, gain highLight 81 subs@600s -20°C, gain highHalpha 45 subs@300s -20°C, gain highTotal exposure : 26h05

Seven Sisters in a Dusty Veil
Image Description and Details :
Visible to the naked eye, the Seven Sisters, or the Pleiades, is one of the best known open clusters. The blue reflection nebula around it is a popular target for imagers. Very deep images, like this one, show the surrounding faint clouds and tendrils of dust as well as some red H(II) emission regions.Acquisition, focusing, and control of Paramount MX mount (unguided) with TheSkyX. Focus with Optec DirectSync motor and controller. Automation with CCDCommander. Equipment control with PrimaLuce Labs Eagle 3 Pro computer. All pre-processing and processing in PixInsight. Acquired from my SkyShed in Guelph. Average transparency and average seeing. Data acquired December 6, 2020 – February 9, 2020 under a moonless sky.Takahashi FSQ-106 ED IV @ f/5 and QHY367C Pro one-shot colour camera with Optolong UV/IR filter.123 x 5mTotal: 10hr15m Image scale 1.9 arcsec per pixel.

Sh2-224
Image Description and Details :
Sh2-224 in HOOlrvb made by Team ARO (astroaro.fr website) in Southern Portugal, Dark Sky Alqueva area. Francis Bozon, Jean-Luc Gangloff, Stéphane Gueyraud. Sh2-224 is a very weak supernova slash in the constellation of the Auriga, with an unusual shape.The acquisition of this photo was made with a Fsq 106 scope on ArEq6 Pro mount and Asi 1600MM camera.
The exposure times are as follows:Ha= 219X300''S2=112x300''O3=179X300''Luminance= 19x60''Red= 21x90''Green =20x60''Blue=23x60''That is a total time of about 33 hours
