Reprocessing IC 405: The Flaming Star Nebula
Earlier this year I took a photograph of the Flaming Star Nebula. I had a hard time processing it. Now I have given it a second chance.

NGC 281: Pacman Nebula
Waiting for the Soul Nebula to rise above the neighbors house, I shot some frames of the Pacman Nebula.

Reprocessing the North America Nebula and Pelican Nebula from May 2023
I wasn't very happy with my processing of the NGC 7000 region from earlier this year, so I had another go at it.

Messier 8: The Lagoon Nebula
The Lagoon Nebula is one of those deep sky objects that is just above the horizon from where I live.

NGC 6888: The Crescent Nebula
The Crescent Nebula, which to me looks more like a giant space brain than a crescent.

Bode's Galaxy and Cigar Galaxy (preliminary result April 2023)
The current status of my long-term project to photograph Bode's Galaxy and the Cigar Galaxy. Due to the weather, probably also the final status for 2023.

Horsehead and Flame Nebula
I have found that I am no longer able to complete a project in a single night, or even in several consecutive nights. As the end of the season is approaching, I have stopped working on my Horsehead Nebula and Flame Nebula project after only two hours of data and saved it to continue next year.

Open Cluster NGC 1647 in Taurus and Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)
I know I am kind of late to the party. But in my defense: When I checked where the comet was in the sky when I first heard about it, it was in the north, and my house was blocking the view. I didn't realize that it will be coming around to the south where I can image it.

IC 405: Flaming Star Nebula
My image of IC 405, the Flaming Star Nebula, was kind of a temporary project to kill some time until the Rosette Nebula rose above the neighboring house.

I wanted a deep image of the Rosette Nebula, but all I got was just shy of two hours of imaging time. So that's only an intermediate result.

What to do if your target of choice is hidden behind the neighbour's house? Take an image of a classic asterism: The Pleiades.

For me, this part of the nebula always looks a bit like an alien face in the profile.
