Nice one mate. I keep meaning to get on the planets, but the clouds, deep sky and the comet keep distracting me. 😂

All other sub sets gave been spoiled, so no animation of the movement in the comet particles this time. It'll be about for a while, so may be better once the Moon wanes.

A wider view of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) taken this morning.

That was a very challenging morning, battling the clouds and the full Moon. Here's a quick process. Now, I want to see if I have any other good subs to make an animation. I'll be a while...

Lubbly Jubbly. 😀

Open cluster NGC6823, with surrounding nebula SH2-86 and open cluster NGC6803 (left) in Vulpecula. Image taken 24th September 2025.

The great thing about reprocessing and comparing old images is that you can spot something you've never known existed. Here's Brocchi's Cluster, the Coathanger with some faint, blue reflection nebulae just above it.

Another image of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) taken yesterday morning.

Ha image taken last night, of part of The Soul Nebula, with added one-shot colour data taken in September 2024.

Close-up of part of IC1848, The Soul Nebula in Hydrogen Alpha.

Getting much deeper into The Bat Nebula with almost five and a half hours of data. I need a whole lot more to really bring the Squid Nebula out. Onwards and upwards.

Combined monochrome and one-shot colour images.

Thanks Chris.

I managed a few subs between the clouds last night and added them to some taken in December last year. This is the Bat & Squid Nebula in Cepheus. The Squid is just starting to appear. I've found my next project. 😃

The central core of Messier 31, The Andromeda Galaxy, taken this evening.

I went for an aquatic target tonight, the Seahorse Nebula.

A quick capture of a supernova in a distant galaxy was taken a few nights ago.

Another image taken last night. Messier 16, The Eagle Nebula in the constellation of Serpens.

Cheers Martin. Good to see you briefly on Saturday.

Tonight, I added more data, bringing the total to 14 hours of data to help improve this image.

I captured more data tonight to add to yesterday's Messier 33 image. 😃

Another image taken last night, showing the Ha regions in Messier 33, the Triangulum Galaxy. I'll try and add a bit more data to this tonight.

I managed to take almost another 3 hours of data on this area of sky last night, so this is now almost 10 hours of data collected over 4 separate nights. It still needs a bit more, so it is an ongoing project.

Despite the bright Moon, I managed to capture another two hours of the area around reflection nebula vdB 152 in Cepheus. Everything is now starting to lift out of the background. This is nearly six hours. I'm hoping to add a few more hours to this yet.

I managed to capture another hour of data to add to this ongoing and gradually improving image tonight. Hopefully, there will be a lot more to add to it in the coming weeks.

I managed to stack another 30 minutes of data to my image taken last night. Reprocess, I managed to remove a horrible gradient that made me crop the left-hand side of the image in the original post.

Four and a half hours of data captured for this tonight. I'll try and add some more another night to see how much more I can tease out of this faint nebula. The bright blue area is the reflection nebula vdB152.

Sagitta and Vulpecula area.
Can you spot the dark Loch Ness Monster above the Coathanger and Messier 27?
Restacked and reprocessed image taken 5th June 2024.

Now that is very interesting.
Superimposing the flipped image of the Whirlpool Galaxy on itself and changing the layer to difference. It obliterates most of the galaxy, showing just how symmetrical those spiral arms are.
