Here is another return to one of my first astrophotography targets. This is M16, also known as the Eagle Nebula. At the brightest part of the core you can see the famous Pillars of Creation.

The Eagle Nebula is a stellar nursery about 5,700 light-years away in Serpens.

This is one of the first nebula I attempted to image when just starting out last year so I decided to return to it.

The Lagoon Nebula (M8), a stellar nursery about 4,000 to 6,000 light-years away in Sagittarius. Radiation from young, hot stars is carving out the bright central cavity in this cloud of gas and dust, one of the most active star-forming regions visible from Earth.

Much has happened over the last few months. We’ve moved into our new place and the skies have been cloudy every night… except tonight they cleared!

This is from our new backyard.

IC 443, known as the Jellyfish Nebula, is the aftermath of a supernova. This is a cloud of energized gas still expanding outward, shaped by shockwaves interacting with surrounding space.

Here is another update, I was able take a few shorter exposures an merge them to help protect the core from being overexposed.

Alright... This is M42, also known as the Orion Nebula. There are some technical issues here as I have blown out the trapezium area in the center where 4 bright stars exist.

If we aren't making mistakes then are we truly pushing ourselves to be better?
