LOBSTER CLAW & BUBBLE NEBULA
The LOBSTER CLAW (SH2-157) & BUBBLE NEBULA (SH2-162), or Sharpless 157 (Sh2-157), is an emission nebula, around 12,000 light-years from Earth between the Cassiopeia and Cepheus constellations. There are several interesting features in this nebula rich region, including the Bubble Nebula, NGC 7635 (or Sh2-162), a HII region emission nebula which lies in a surrounding shell, and excited by the star SAO 20575. Also in the frame are the Wolf-Rayet massive star WR 157, two large open clusters of stars NGC 7510 and NGC 7654, and the nebula NGC 7538, which is home to the largest yet discovered protostar, 300 times the size of our solar system! This image was captured over the span of a week totaling 14.2 hours in narrowband. Each filter was mapped to the Hubble Palette.

fornax dwarf galaxy
This is the Fornax Dwarf Galaxy from an advanced request I did at telescope.live. I had to split it over 2 different nights to get it all due to issues with acquisition and while I didn't get all the luminance I intended it still turned out decent to me.
This is 3x 600s L, 5x 600s, R, 5x 600s, B, and 5x 600s G taken with an FLI PL16083 through Astrodon LRGB filters and an ASA 500N f/3.6.

Soul Nebula
This complex is the eastern neighbor of IC1805 (Heart Nebula) and the two are often mentioned together as the "Heart and Soul". Located about 6,000 light-years from Earth, the Heart and Soul nebulae form a vast star-forming complex that makes up part of the Perseus spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy. The Soul nebula is also known as the Embryo nebula, IC 1848 or W5.The Perseus arm lies further from the centre of the Milky Way than the arm that contains our sun. The Heart and Soul nebulae stretch out nearly 580 light-years across; the diameter of the Milky Way, is roughly 100,000 light-years across.Imaging telescope: Takahashi FSQ130EDImaging cameras: FLI ML16200Mounts: Takahashi EM 400 Temma 2MGuiding cameras: QHY CCD QHY 5 IIFocal Extender / Reducer: Tak QE 0.73x Software: PHD 2, Astro Pixel Processer, PixInsight , Sequence Generator Pro SGPFilters: Astrodon Ha + Astrodon OIII + Astrodon SIIAccessories: ATIK EFW3Original Resolution: 3500 x 2500 Dates: Sep 15 - Oct 5, 2021Frames:Astrodon Ha: 42 x 600"Astrodon OIII: 42 x 600"Astrodon SII: 42 x 600"Integration: 21 Hours.Center (RA, Dec): (43.568, 60.344)Center (RA, hms): 02h 54m 16.291sCenter (Dec, dms): +60° 20' 38.560"Size: 2.52 x 1.8 degRadius: 1.551 degPixel scale: 2.6 arcsec/pixelOrientation: Up is 180 degrees E of N

M45 - Pleiades: The Seven Sisters Star Cluster.
…lies about 444 light years away toward the constellation of the Bull (Taurus). A common legend with a modern twist is that one of the brighter stars faded since the cluster was named, leaving only six of the sister stars visible to the unaided eye. The actual number of Pleiades stars visible, however, may be more or less than seven, depending on the darkness of the surrounding sky and the clarity of the observer's eyesight.

Rocket launch, auroras & milky way
Image Description and Details : A rocket launch was visible in Finland on night 27-28-9-2021 and I saw the first time it appeared on the sky from a sky camera. Then I suspected it could be visible again in about 90 minutes. I waited for it and was rewarded with a photo I am very satisfied with.

SL17 Wolf Nebula
Image Description and Details : There are few objects of particular note in Lupus, the Wolf constellation, but one of them is this very opaque dark nebula, which lies in the foreground and blocks out the light from thousands of stars beyond. This nebula belongs to the group of 42 dark dust clouds of high visual opacity which are referred to by the initials "SL" in some atlases.

PM1-333
Image Description and Details : PM1-333 is a small (70 arc seconds) planetary nebula in the constellation Cepheus. It was discovered by Andrea Preite-Martinez in 1988. I believe this to be the deepest, and highest resolution colour image of this target. The tiny blue progenitor star can just be made out dead centre of the image.
It lies within IC1396 where it appears as a small dot at the bottom left hand corner in J-P Metsavainio's excellent image https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JEMi-QvpB0Q/XicHMRDQXbI/AAAAAAAARug/ECBNZGRTptwRSAOExQSKmmvCIZWz6niCACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IC1396Det.jpg

Cederblad 111
Image Description:
This is an image of Cederblad 111. It is a nebula complex about 500 light years away in the constellation Chamaeleon. Cederblad 111 refers to the blue reflection nebula near the center left of the image. You can also see the reddish nebula GN 11.07.3 at about the ten o'clock position relative to the blue reflection nebula. If you zoom in really close, you can just make out the Herbig-Haro objects: HH 49 and HH 50 at about the five o'clock position relative to the blue reflection nebula. The entire Chamaeleon I cloud covers an area of 5 square degrees and, at this distance, is one of the closest regions of star formation to the Earth.

The pillar of Cepheus (VdB 152)
Image Description and Details :
This cosmic pillar stretches for approximately 1,400 light years along the northern part of the Milky Way, in the constellation Cepheus. Near the edge of the large molecular cloud, pockets of dust block all light from the stars in the background or weaken the light of the brightest star at the top, this star giving the nebula its characteristic blue color.At the bottom right of the image is a planetary nebula LBN 538 (red / blue).

Ic 1318
Image Description and Details : IC 1318 taken in South Portugal.
IC 1318 also called the Butterfly Nebula, is a nebula in emission in the constellation Cygnus.
It is a huge nebula in emission, quite bright and distinct, in the shape of a circumflex accent, rather difficult to see, but which appears easily on photographs. It has in its center a dark nebula. It spreads around the bright star Sadr (γ Cygni). It is located in the Milky Way, thus on a background rich in stars.
