Image Description and Details : NGC 1491 (also known as the Fossil Footprint, LBN 704 or Sh2-206) is a bright nebula discovered by William Herschel in 1790, in the constellation of Perseus. It is glowing deep red because the hydrogen gas in the nebula is energized by hot, massive stars embedded within. These stars emit copious amounts of ultraviolet (UV) light that causes the gas to glow.
Here is in Hubble palette rendition.

Image Description and Details :

IC63 THE GHOST OF CASSIOPEE

Very pale and indistinct nebula, it is nicknamed "The Ghost". It's a difficult object to see because it's drowned under a flood of stars. Only large light instruments allow you to see this nebula that accompanies IC 59, even less distinct.

Image Description and Details : The bartender asks, "Why the weird face?"

This bizarre collection of objects in the Auriga constellation looks like the face of the alien Xenu to me. But when I first discovered that this framing was possible, I really liked it.

In the upper left, the big orange thing is IC 405, the Flaming Star nebula. Just to its right, the blue-purple thing is IC 410, the Tadpoles (you can see the two small cometary globules that give it its name). Directly below the tadpoles, the small orange spot is IC 417, the Spider Nebula. Below and to the right of the Spider is NGC 1931, the Fly. And I've personally dubbed the red object to their left "The Gripping Hand" after the sequel to Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle's incomparable SF novel The Mote in God's Eye (the sequel was far less engaging). The open cluster of stars near bottom center is Messier 38, the Starfish Cluster.

Deceptively, the Flaming Star is only 1,500 light years away, but the Tadpoles are 12,000 light years away. M38 is about 3,500 light years away and the Spider is about 10,000 light years distant. These disparate distances account for the varied chemical compositions and hence the colors they produce.

Image Description and Details : Today the aurora parameters had some life to them, but the skies here were mostly cloudy. I felt a bit sick due to my last nights adventures in the wilderness during a snowstorm, but I still decided to try my luck if the weather would get better even for a moment. I walked to the nearby waterfall which was now surrounded with fresh snow. After waiting a hour or two the skies got clear and you could see some red auroras dancing over the waterfall near the lake Tsahkaljärvi in Finland.

Image Description and Details : We are pleased to present you today the first ever image of a candidate planetary nebula unknown to this day.
Team members Xavier Strottner and Marcel Drechsler discovered this object in June 2020.
This item has been analysed and added to the StDr catalogue by Pascal Le Dû.
StDr 99 is also registered in the PN Global Base managed by Professor Quentin Parker of the University of Hong Kong.
StDr 99 is located in the constellation Cepheus and has an apparent size of 17 arc minutes.
This nebula is so weak, especially [OIII], that nearly 200 hours of exposure were required.
Many thanks to Sven Eklund for working with me in imaging this challenging object, and to Marcel for processing the image.

Image Description and Details : Barnard 92 (B92) or more commonly known as the Black Hole Nebula and its neighbour Barnard 93 (B93) or the Black Spot Nebula are dark nebulae or interstellar dust clouds contrasting nicely against the bright Hydrogen-alpha rich background of the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud M24, of which it obscures parts. Stardust — clouds of carbon soot blown out by ageing stars — weaves all through this scene, creating the dark canyons winding through the stars. These dark nebulae lie at an approximate distance of 10,000 light-years from Earth.
10x600s Ha, 19x180s Lum and 49x300s RGB subs were shot @-10C taken over 6 nights for an integration time of almost 7 hours.

The Bear Claw is a large, faint planetary nebula that's officially, and poetically, known as Hartl-Dengl-Weinberger 2. (It's also known as Sh2-200, from the Sharpless catalog of emission nebulae.) Discovered in 1983, it wasn't determined to be a planetary nebula until 2017. This image is a composite taken through narrowband Hydrogen-Alpha (red) and Oxygen-III (teal) filters along with standard broadband RGB filters for the stars. The nebula is extremely faint, especially in H-alpha, and took lots of post-processing to bring out. As I normally do, I processed the narrowband data to approximate "true" color as best as I could.

Image Description and Details : A favourite deep-sky target of astrophotographers is NGC 1499, the California Nebula. The California Nebula is found in the Orion Arm of our Milky Way galaxy, and has been given its informal nickname because its shape resembles the outline of the US state of California. It is a large emission nebula stretching across almost 2.5 degrees of the night sky in the constellation Perseus, with an apparent magnitude of 6.0 and lies approximately 1,000 light-years away. It is very well imaged in broadband filters as well as the narrowband Hubble palette seen here.

Here is a galaxy you may not have seen before.

Located in Indus 180 million light years from here, NGC 7123 is a rarely imaged spiral seen edge on. The shape is some what reminiscent of the Sombrero Galaxy. The galaxy itself presents a very small target in the field of view.

Image Description and Details : This cosmic landscape features a often overlooken object in the amateur astronomy community, Simeis 57. It’s nicknamed as the Propeller Nebula. I imaged this nebulosity on multiple nights during September and October between brief gaps in the clouds, acquiring a total exposure time of 14 hours with narrowband filters + RGB for the stars.

Most amateur astronomers use designation DWB 111 for the "Propeller" but it is incorrect as it is only a designation for the southern arm of the object. Designation DWB 119 is used for the northern arm. In 1950s Crimean Astrophysical Observatory at Simeiz, Ukraine designated this object as Simeis 57 in their catalogue of 306 objects of HII regions.
Ten years later the DWB catalog was created by H. R. Dickel, H. Wendker, and J. H. Bieritz. This catalog was intended for HII regions in the Cygnus X complex that they were studying in 1960s. Distance of this nebulosity is unknown but in general the objects in the Cygnus X complex are about 4600 light-years away.
