W63 - SNR G082.2+05.3

W63 - SNR G082.2+05.3

W63 is an old, large supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. It is roughly 5,000 to 10,000 light-years away. The glowing, expanding blue elliptical-shaped shock shell spans roughly 150 light-years across (about 95 by 65 arcminutes).

It is very very faint. It took several nights of stacking to really begin to see the OIII filaments. This image is a two panel mosaic.

3URSH2-96 - The Scarlet Letter Nebula

Sh2-96 is an extremely faint emission nebula in Cygnus. It is also known as The Scarlet Letter Nebula and just like the letter in the novel "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the letter in this nebula is a scarlet capital A. I have also seen it referred to as Fire and Water. The "A" portion being the fire and the blue nebulosity the water. The brighter portion of the capital A is also designated as Lynds Bright Nebula (LBN) 066.

This object was very faint. Even with over 41 hours of data, it still pretty noisy. Thank goodness for the tools we have today.

aENGC 6960 and NGC 6979 taken from London

I took this image from my back garden in London over the last few nights.. Total exposure time is around 12 hours.

This is a single panel using 4 minute exposures.

I used a #Skywatcher sprit 100, AA26C (camera), #Antlia lp-t filter, #ZWO AM5, ZWO 120mm for guiding.. The image was processed in PixInsight with a final bit of star reduction in PhotoShop.
