NGC 2248 Rosette Nebula (also known as Caldwell 49) is an H II region located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy. The open cluster NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50) is closely associated with the nebulosity, the stars of the cluster having been formed from the nebula's matter. [Wiki]
6 hours of data imaged in one night on the 9th January 2024 at the Turismo Astronomico complex in Gorafe, Spain using the Esprit 100ED telescope and ZWO ASO 6200MM Pro camera. 3 narrowband filters were used for the nebula, Ha, Oiii and Sii, with Red, Green and Blue filters for the stars. Two versions were processed using different combinations of the narrowband filters. The first was imaged using the SHO pallet and the second using the OHS palette. Both used the same RGB stars.

NGC 2264 is the designation number that identifies two astronomical objects as a single object: the Cone Nebula, and the Christmas Tree Cluster. Two other objects are within this designation but not officially included, the Snowflake Cluster, and the Fox Fur Nebula.
11 hours of data collected over 3 nights in February 2024 at the Astro Turismo complex in Los Coloraos, Gorafe, Spain.
The image is a blend of the RGB data for the stars and centre of the Christmas Tree Cluster and Snowflake Cluster, with Ha, Sii and Oiii for the emission nebula portions.
This was a tough target to find the right combinations of each filter to work together and attempt to keep some of the natural colours of the reflection nebula. I also decided to not reduce the stars too much as I feel the whole area is a cosmic sprinkling of hot blue and cooler orange stars that adds density to the image.
Bottom left of the image we can also see some dark nebulas obscuring the rich star field.
As usual, much more data would help to reduce the noise in the dark areas, but we ran out of luck with clear skies for the time available.

A cropped version of NGC 2170 The Angel Nebula. Imaged with the Esprit 100ED and ASI6200MM full frame camera.
Originally planned to have more LRGB data but the camera stopped working after 6 sessions. Oiii was also collected but not used in this version.
12 hours of data collected over 6 nights in January and February 2025 at the Tursimo Astronomico Complex in Los Coloraos, Gorafe, Spain.

NGC 2174 (also known as Monkey Head Nebula) is an H II[ emission nebula located in the constellation Orion and is associated with the open star cluster NGC 2175. It was discovered on 6 February 1877 by French astronomer Édouard Stephan. It is thought to be located about 6,400 light-years away from Earth.
Young stars near the center of the nebula generate stellar winds and high energy radiation that causes the nebula's material to shift into complex shapes. The nebula is primarily composed of hydrogen which glows at infrared wavelengths due to the radiation. (C) Wikipedia
Imaged over 3 nights in December 2024 at the Turismo Astronómico complex in Los Coloraos, Gorafe, Spain. I used the Esprit 100ED telescope and ASI 2600MC colour camera with narrowband filters and UV/IR cut filters. The nebula was colorised using the Fornaxx palette with the narrowband image and the stars were added using the natural RGB imge.
Thank you for viewing.

NGC 7023 or Iris Nebula is a wonderful example of an open star cluster associated with a reflection nebula. It is located in Cepheus, about 3.5 degrees southwest of β Cep (Alfirk).
Visually, NGC 7023 is a fairly bright, irregularly-shaped reflection nebula surrounding a 7th magnitude star (HD 200775) . NGC 7023 lies in a region of the Milky Way darkened by dust, within which the nebula is embedded.
NGC 7023 is about 6 light-years across, and 1,300 light-years away. Within the Iris, dusty nebular material surrounds a massive, hot, young star in its formative years.
Imaged in December 2024 over three nights at the Turismo Astronómico complex in Los Coloraos, Gorafe, Spain using the Esprit 100ED telescope and ASI 2600 MC Pro camera through a UV/IR cut filter.

IC 443 (also known as the Jellyfish Nebula and Sharpless 248 (Sh2-248)) is a galactic supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Gemini. Its distance is roughly 5,000 light years from Earth. C 443 may be the remains of a supernova that occurred 30,000 - 35,000 years ago. IC 443 is one of the best-studied cases of supernova remnants interacting with surrounding molecular clouds.

28 hours of image data captured in November 2024 at the Turismo Astronomico complex, Los Coloraos, Gorafe, Spain. I used the Esprit 100 ED telescope and ASI 2600MC Pro colour camera. Two filters were used to capture the image. The nebula was captured with a 3nm dual band filter and the stars were captured using an UV/IR cut filter. The image is a composite of the two. The nebula was processed using the Foraxx palette and the stars are natural RGB.
Thank you for viewing!

The Crab Nebula (catalogue designations M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus. The nebula was discovered by English astronomer John Bevis in 1731. The nebula was the first astronomical object identified that corresponds with a historically-observed supernova explosion. At an apparent magnitude of 8.4, the nebula lies in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, at a distance of about 2.0 kiloparsecs (6,500 ly) from Earth. (Wikipedia)
Imaged in December 2024 from Los Coloraos, Spain in the Turismo Astronómico complex in Gorafe using the C14 Edge HD telescope and ASI 6200 MM Pro camera. Three narrowband filters of Sii, Ha and Oiii were used to produce this colour palette.

Messier 74 (also known as NGC 628 and Phantom Galaxy) is a large spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation Pisces. It is about 32 million light-years away from Earth. The galaxy contains two clearly defined spiral arms and is therefore used as an archetypal example of a grand design spiral galaxy. The galaxy's low surface brightness makes it the most difficult Messier object for amateur astronomers to observe. It is estimated that M74 hosts about 100 billion stars.

Taken over 20 nights in November and December 2024. Poor conditions and limited availability resulted in loosing half the original data.
Many thanks for looking.
