I've got my "BigRig" running after 2 yrs off. 2 min exposures of Messier 27. Gone the "short exposure - many subs" method made popular by the Smart Telescope revolution. 4 days so-far. Full details on my website here: deep-sky.uk/astrophotogr...

Thousands of overlapping objects at various distances are spread across this field, including galaxies in a massive galaxy cluster, and distorted background galaxies behind the galaxy cluster. The background of space is black.

Today's amateur astronomer conference BoHeTa in Bochum, Germany, featured inter alia a talk by Ralf Burkart on high-res videos of solar phenomena (H alpha). Originals a lot better than shown here and absolutely amazing!

How was the Crescent Nebula created? Looking like an emerging space cocoon, the Crescent Nebula, visible in the center of the featured image, was created by the brightest star in its center. A leading progenitor hypothesis has the Crescent Nebula beginning to form about 250,000 years ago. At that time, the massive central star had evolved to become a Wolf-Rayet star (WR 136), shedding its outer envelope in a strong stellar wind, ejecting the equivalent of our Sun's mass every 10,000 years. This wind impacted surrounding gas left over from a previous phase, compacting it into a series of complex shells, and lighting it up. The Crescent Nebula, also known as NGC 6888, lies about 4,700 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus. Star WR 136 will probably undergo a supernova explosion sometime in the next million years. Jigsaw Challenge: Astronomy Puzzle of the Day
