I thought I'd never be able to capture this faint #astrophotography target but then I discovered the wonderful world of Newtonian scopes 🙂. This is the Bat (SH2-129) and Squid #nebula (OU-4) after 20h of integration time, shot from my backyard. What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

The Bat nebula (SH2-129) showing red colors from the H-alpha emission line, and the planetary nebula called the Squid nebula (OU-4), recently discovered, emitting in the OIII line. This is the result of 20h of integration time. Details of the capture are on Astrobin : https://www.astrobin.com/vc8zxk/

MWP 1 - The Methuselah Nebula captured from my patio on eleven short summer nights in July and August 😊🔭 This was shot on the EdgeHD 8 for a total integration time of about 40 hours in mono with Ha and OIII narrowband filters and combined with RGB stars. #Astrophotography

The Methuselah Nebula is an exceptionally large ancient bipolar planetary nebula and therefore it’s very faint. Despite the long integration time the signal was very weak and noisy so processing this object was quite challenging!

MWP1 is located in the constellation of Cygnus at an estimated distance of about 4,500 light years away from Earth.

A wide-field astrophotograph of Messier 27, the Dumbbell Nebula, surrounded by a dense field of stars against a nearly black sky. The nebula is positioned near the center of the frame and appears as a softly glowing, irregular oval with two broad opposing lobes. Its brightest inner region is pale blue, cyan, and milky white, with translucent layers of gas overlapping around the faint central star. Curved reddish-pink arcs form parts of the outer shell, especially along the upper-left and lower-right edges, creating a rounded, expanding structure around the cooler blue interior. Fainter blue-green gas extends beyond the bright core as a diffuse halo. Hundreds of stars of different brightness fill the background, from tiny sharp points to several larger white stars with subtle four-point flares. Many stars show slight red and cyan fringes, adding small touches of color throughout the otherwise dark field. Captured with a Newton 130/900 telescope and a Sony A7S camera.
