flame star IC405 to the ′′ pond ′′ IC410,
From the flame star IC405 to the ′′ pond ′′ IC410, the celestial area in the Giffus is filled with ionized aluminum clouds, the original tone is dominated by red -- until a comet, C / 2020 M3 ATLAS, Dragging the short tail to break into here, bringing a piece of green.
In order to shoot the comet, QHY268C was specially adjusted to high gain mode, Gain 56, Offset 10, with a 100-second short exposure to prevent the comet from dragging. As a result, the comet was captured, but the camera hung up, the infinite card read out, and had to return to the factory for repair. Now, even the equatorial meter is starting to go crazy for unknown reasons.
It seems that the comet is really a broom star......

The Dolphin's head nebula - SH2-308
Image Description and Details :
This image was done from Obstech El Sauce in Chile with a TMB105/650 and a QHY22. This was a very hard processing, this nebula is very faint and the raw images were not fantastic. This is a processing done with HORGB filters and with the Oxygen layer in Luminance. More than 50h were needed to make this bubble shine around the area!

RCW 60
Image Description and Details :
RCW 60 is a rarely imaged nebula. Part of the Lambda Centaurus nebula complex (centered around RCW 62). This is actually 2 distinct nebulae at different distances: Gum 39 and Gum 40. RCW 60 is located around 13000 light years from Earth.Imaged in Narrow Band Hubble Palette SHO on our Officina Stellare RiDK 400 telescope at El Sauce (Obstech) in the Atacama Desert in Chile.

M22
Image Description and Details :
M22 might be the most famous northern globular cluster, if only it rose higher for people at mid-northern latitudes. It is beautifully set in the Milky Way in Sagittarius. It’s in the same league as M13 in terms of splashiness, even though it is dimmed by being so much lower in my sky. It’s among the nearest globulars, at around 10,600 light years from Earth, and it covers an area about the size of the full Moon in our sky. It is around 100 light years across and is pegged at around 12 billion years old.SBIG STL-11000M camera, Baader R, G and B filters, 10″ f/6.8 ASA astrograph, Paramount MX.

Crescent & Soap Bubble Nebula
Image Description and Details :
Part of the Cygnus constellation, the crescent nebula is located in the immediate vicinity of the star Sadr. Its atypical shape also gave it the name "Euro Sign Nebula" (currency).
On the left is visible the "Soap Bubble nebula", discovered only in 2007 by amateur astronomer Dave Jurasevich.
The image is a composition in the HOO palette, with an exposure time of 37 hours.

Helix Nebula aka "i'm watching you!"
Image Description and Details :
Recovery of the helix nebula, with more than 60h of retained poses (out of 90h), captured over three months. I think I've reached the limit magnitude of my sky, impossible to make the signal come out more from the bottom of the sky. The Helix Nebula is a planetary nebula located in the Aquarius constellation, near the Southern Fish. Its strong resemblance to a human eye has earned it the nickname "the eye of God".
