I need to get back to Vietnam -- photographically speaking -- but here is one more astrograph that I captured in early September, but just now processed. It is a wide-field, 5 hour capture of Sh2-101, the Tulip Nebula (upper-centre) and some nearby nebulosity. The Tulip Nebula is about 6000 light years distant in the constellation Cygnus. #clayhausphotography #astropixelprocessor #pixinsight #astrophotographer #astrophotography #astrograph https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj36tHVPdgc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sh2-129, the Flying Bat Nebula, Is a huge Hii nebula located in the constellation Cepheus, the King. If you Google this object, and I do encourage you to do so, you will likely see images with a pale blue cylindrical nebula embedded in the field of red. That is the recently discovered Squid nebula. It takes many more hours than the five hours of integration time I have gathered here as well as different equipment to expose that elusive nebula. You see no hint of it here. In the center of this red field you do see a bright white star which is actually the triple star system that is igniting and driving all of this nebulosity. This is an object I will surely return to together even more data. And perhaps with the right equipment attempt to resolve the Squid nebula. #clayhausphotography #nebula #williamopticsz61 #asi2600mcpro #astropixelprocessor #pixinsight #astrophotography #astrophotographer #astronomy https://www.instagram.com/p/CinG5EBLXWa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

At the end of August and beginning of September we had a very nice stretch of clear, windless nights with pretty good seeing and transparency. For nine nights I had two telescopes capturing those elusive but ever-present photons from afar. Here we have NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula, with 5.5 hours of acquisition time. The central star of this interesting nebula is classified as a Wolf-Rayet star. These types of stars are known for generating fierce stellar winds as they shed their outer envelopes of gases. The complex and unique structure of this nebula is likely the result of these stellar winds. NGC 6888 is burning through its fuel at a prodigious rate and will ultimately ignite in a spectacular supernova explosion. #clayhausphotography #astropixelprocessor #pixinsight #nebula #astrophoto #astrophotographer #astrophotography #astronomy #asiairpro #asi533mcpro #explorescientific https://www.instagram.com/p/CiUB4qjOObF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Regrann from @yat.sze - Magnitude 10.2 Hamburger Galaxy or Sarah's Galaxy is an unbarred spiral galaxy about 100,000 light years across that is part of the Leo Triplet, located at a distance of 35 million light years away in the constellations Leo. . The image shows a puffy galactic disk with a broad equatorial and obscuring band of dust spanning approximately 300,000 light years. . This is my fourtheen galaxy captured this season and probably the most difficult capture due to the faintest magnitude 10.2 and the lower constellation Leo in the sky from my location. . 50x3 mins lights, 20 darks, 20 flat, 20 bias #asi224mc 150/0.63x1500mm f/6.3 #celestronc6 #celestronavx #phd2guiding #astropixelprocessor #affinityphoto . #ngc3628 #hamburgergalaxy #sarahsgalaxy #Leoconstellation #messierobject #ottawagalaxy #ottawasky #ottawaastronomy #ottawaastrophotography #astrophotography #astrophoto #deepskyobject #universetoday - #regrann
