Sh2-147, Sh2-148 and Sh2-149 compact H II patches in Cepheus roughly 4,500 light-years away. Sh2-152 and Sh2-153: Two adjacent H II regions in Cassiopeia about 4,500 light-years away. Those are best observable in September.
The Andromeda Galaxy as an intermediate project. I still had 5 hours of luminance data from September, which I combined with the RGB data from 2021. Thanks to my current workflow, it looks really good.
NGC 7082 is a moderately bright open star cluster located in the constellation Cygnus at a distance of about 4,700 light-years from Earth. This cluster reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed in mid August.
NGC 7062 is a compact open star cluster in the constellation Cygnus, located about 4,800 light-years away, reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed in mid August in the Northern Hemisphere, when Cygnus is high in the sky.
vdB 131 and vdB 132 are neighboring blue reflection nebulae embedded in the NGC 6914 complex in Cygnus, roughly 5,500-6,000 light-years away; the field reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed in the last week of July under dark, transparent summer skies.
Magical evening in Lahnstein: witnessing the total lunar eclipse with students, visitors & cameras – the Moon appeared right on time!
41 hours of exposure over 14 nights – my most demanding astrophotography project yet: Sh2-119 in Cygnus.
Captured Caldwell 47 (NGC 6934) in Delphinus – 50,000 light-years away. My final globular cluster of the season.
Snapped M15-globular in Pegasus, ~33 600 ly out-on a single clear early-summer night with my VC200L & Canon EOS R(a). So worth it!
