This is a #WorkInProgress of the Seagull Nebula (IC 2177).
A little over 2 hours exposure time in Ha and Sii, so it’s hard to pull the signal out much more.
But my stars are so much more round/sharp than before, thanks to my new OAG (now that I’ve removed the plastic film from the prism 😅), and with PHD2’s multi-star guiding.

This is the #TarantulaNebula! It’s near the south celestial pole.
About 6 hours of integration time. 3 hours of Ha, 3 hours of Sii.
Not much more to say about this one. Enjoy!

One of my early #Astro shots: the #LagoonNebula and the #TrifidNebula.
From memory, this was taken a few years ago with a standard mirrorless camera, and a #SkyWatcher #ED80 telescope, on an #EQ6R mount.
Okay, so this is the #CarinaNebula or #EtaCarinaNebula ( #NGC3372). A stunning, bright nebula near the #SouthernCross. It’s HUGE — larger and brighter than the Orion Nebula but doesn’t get quite as much attention because it’s most visible in the southern hemisphere.
My favourite region is in the bottom right — looks like a ribbon, and it’s beautiful.
This is a 9-panel #Mosaic taken using a #SkyWatcher #ED80 telescope in Ha and Sii, and stitched together with #PixInsight.
Total exposure time is something like 40+ hours.
