The Question Mark Nebula - NGC 7822
NGC 7822 is a large emission nebula in the constellation of Cepheus that has some resemblance to a question mark. This image however does not show the circular dot part of it, which is located far below this.
This is 3 hours of frames (386 x 30sec for 3 hours and 13 minutes total integration) from a bortle 6 location, shot on a Seestar S30 Pro.
I'm very pleased with how it came out! It looks a little like a face from this angle.

Pleiades over Aoraki/Mount Cook
I wasn’t even planning on capturing this image, but while waiting for another composition I realised this shot would be possible and couldn’t help myself but to shoot it. This night was super calm, giving me some absolutely perfect reflections in the lake, unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. There was a very small window in the night when the alignment would work, giving me about 5 minutes to create the image, ensuring the cluster would be centred above the mountain.
Matariki is a significant cluster all around the world, but particularly here in Aotearoa, its rising in mid-winter signals the beginning of the Māori New Year. It’s celebrated as a time to connect with friends and family, share kai (food) and set goals for the future.
