So last week we had some clear skies and cold nights. I did some photos with my Dwarfiii, this one is Ptolemy's Cluster, with a little editing in Snapseed.

Later I will show you how I went with the new stackable mosaic capability we have now with this telescope.

Over three nights last week, I shot #M17 over for a total of just over 8 hours.

This #Nebula is known as the #SwanNebula aka the #OmegaNebula aka #LobsterNebula aka #CheckmarkNebula aaaand #NGC6618, which is far, far too many names. Please do me a favour, and don't add to them.

For some reason, my telescope has decided that it is also #IC4701 aka #SH2-44 , but that is actually the fainter, sparser nebula in the top left.

In any event, this rich star forming region also contains several open clusters - #NGC6618 is embedded in M17, but #NGC6596 is in the foreground of SH2-44, and is not part of the star forming region.

Many of the stars are very hot fast burning stars, and they brightly illuminate the clouds of gas and dust.

Shot on a #Dwarf3 with the inbuilt Ha/OIII filter. Postprocessing in #Dwarflab Stellar Studio and #Snapseed .

Here is a #SouthernSky classic - #C70 - The #SouthernPinwheel or #NGC300 .

This was shot over the course of four nights in the last week, with the last night being shot in OIII/SII , because I had that set up from shooting the #TriffidNebula earlier in the night.

This extra session has added some interesting highlights. In particular in the lower left tip of one of the arms, there is what appears to be a large nebula (but is more likely a group of them).

Very early this morning, just after my night's schedule had completed, there was still some dark sky. So I had a look around in #Stellarium, and found a comet in the far Western sky - 10P/Tempel . So I did a quick stack of it with my #Dwarf3 , and this was the result. One #musktrail , but I thought I'd leave it in in this case.

10/P Tempel is one of the Jupiter family of comets, and has a period of only 5.4 years, so we get to see it quite often. Because it does not get particularly close to the sun, we don't get to see much of tail, but we do get the neat fuzzy green of the excited gases around the nucleus.

Something a little different today.

This is the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud, or #m24

What it is really is a gap in the dust of The Great Rift, and looks into the next spiral arm inwards from us.

I had me a little play with the mosaic function for my Astronomy Group's target of the month earlier, the Lagoon Nebula, with a bonus Trifid Nebula thrown in there as well. Only about an hour's exposure, with these bright objects.

Cold and crisp, and long winter solstice time nights have made for great observation times here in #PerthWesternAustralia . So now that it's come over all cloudy and rainy it's time to do some processing.

I have been catching a couple of snippets of things at the end of a longer project, and this is one of them. The Lagoon Nebula says hi!

Just 55 minutes.

Making the most of the last night before the rain sets in, I decided to shoot a mosaic of the Lobster and the Cat's Paw nebulae. Six and a half hours total time, or about 1hr 35m for each corner.

This is a favourite subject of mine, and I never tire of it. Even if the lobster looks more like a crab to me.

Last night I tried something a little different.

I got my #Dwarf2 out, and ran a couple of sessions on the #LagoonNebula ( #M8 ).

The first was in the near-infrared, using a SVBony IR pass filter.

The second, slightly shorter one, was in unfiltered RGB.

Then I shifted the IR image to a green tone, and layered the two images on top of each other.

I am rather pleased with the results. I did not use the #Dwarf3 for this, as I only have a 1.25" IR filter.
