All the data for this lovely nebula was captured at Golden State Star Party. There really is no substitute for dark skies and integration time! It's too bad the nights are so short, I would've loved to go deeper on this. 15.5 hours LRGB, SkyWatcher Esprit 120mm, QSI 6120, Orion Atlas Pro.

The Belt of Venus
Description
On a clear evening about 10-20 minutes after sunset, if you look to the East you'll see some beautiful colours on the horizon. The dark blue right on the horizon is actually the shadow of the earth itself projected onto the atmosphere. The air in this part of the sky can't see the sun any more. The pink immediately above it is called the Belt of Venus and it is higher altitude atmosphere which can still see the sun. It shows a pink-orange-yellow gradient because it's reflecting the sunset! The higher you go the les red the reflected light is; the inverse of the effect of the sun getting redder as it gets closer to the horizon. Sometimes if there is a particularly large and distinct mountain between you and the sun you'll see its shape projected in the shadow as well! 5x6 shot HDR panorama Shot with DJI Mavic Pro at 120m altitude Taken near Emerald, Victoria

The Bubble Nebula Region.
Description
The Bubble Nebula Region. In this Narrowband image you can see the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635, center), the stars clusters M52 (NGC7564) & NGC7510, and the nebulae NGC7538, Sh2-151 and Sh2-157. This is a combination of a Bi-color Ha/Oiii and a SHO image. 10h20mn of exposure with a ZenithStar66 refractor, a Moravian CCD cameras G2-8300, and Astrodon Filters (Ha 5nm, OIII 5nm, SII 5nm) .

M101 Pinwheel Galaxy
Description
12.3 hr HaLRGB of this face on galaxy at 27MLY in UMa, twice the size of the Milky Way. It has a low surface brightness and is quite asymmetric. It probably underwent a major collision to cause its strong asymmetry. It has a large number of HII regions with hot young stars. Imaging telescope: APM LZOS 130/780 f/6 LW CNC II 130mm APO Imaging camera: FLI ML16200 Mount: Takahashi EM-200 Temma2

IC1396
Description
IC1396 and the Elephant's Trunk Nebula. It is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust located in the constellation Cepheus about 2,400 light years away from Earth. This is a bicolor Ha/OIII image. I'm working on a new technique to combine channels with Pixelmath in order to create an "SHO feeling" on bicolor images. 5h50mn of exposure with a ZenithStar66 refractor, a Moravian CCD cameras G2-8300, and Astrodon Filters (Ha 5nm, OIII 5nm) .

M16
Description
This is my first M16, testing a GSO RC8 and shot with narrowband filters, needs heaps more Data and more exposure time, the F8 telescope its too slow compared to my 8 inch newt at f5, thinking of moving on to an RC10 or stick to my newt and learn to get more and better data.... QHY9S, ZWO filters, EQ6 mount.
