This is Part of the Double Cluster imaged during the moon phase so not the best conditions. I may make this a mosaic and capture the other half to complete it. Processing wise I have not really done much just stretched it and a bit of noise reduction and that's it a nice easy one.

Mare Humorum, Gassendi, Hippalus Rille, Montes Riphaeus

Mosaic of two frames. This composition contains many interesting and characteristic formations. Mare Humorum and a wax seal in the north, Gassendi crater. Ditch complexes in the west: Rimae Mersenius, Rimae de Gasparis and Rimae Doppelmayer, in the east: Hippalus Rille and the crater with two "faces" - Hippalus. In the upper corner - Montes Riphaeus, a band of shock artifacts that have recently intrigued me. Below is a lava landscape with hill ranges.

StDr 1 - a possible planetary nebula in the constellation of Taurus, discovered by Xavier Strottner and Marcel Drechsler in November 2019. This is the first time it has been imaged in color. It is extremely faint - and so 1800 second exposures binned 3x3 were necessary.

In this mosaic we can see some sunspots active regions and surrounding solar granulation taken before the current low solar activity. Images was taken from Cremona in northern of Italy through a Maksutov Rumak F20 telescope with an F12 focal reducer, Baader Planetarium ASTF280 astrosolar filter and Baader Planetarium Continuum CWL 540nm filter. Cameras used was I.S. DBK41 and Zwo ASI 224MC. Frames stacked with Autostakkert and processed with Wavelets of registax and Photoshop.

The monkey head nebula - ngc2174 is an emission nebula located in the Orion Constellation. It is associated with the stellar cluster ngc2175. It was given this name as you can see well from the photo, the face of a monkey.
I decided to process this photo with the Hubble Palette technique, and therefore, with fake colors to highlight better the emission areas of the various chemical elements that compose the nebula.
