🔭This is classic: the Horse Head and Flame. An amazing object, bright and colorful. IC434 was discovered on a photographic image by Williamina Fleming and reported by E. C. Pickering in 1890.

58h is also quite a lot of integration time :)

🔭W63 is a supernova remnant located in Cygnus. This narrowband image shows Ha, OIII and SII emissions. This object is large and very faint, I needed more than 70 hours of exposure time overall.

🔭Another very large patch of cosmic dust: LDN 1089 in Cepheus. This object is about 1200 light years away.

🔭 The Gecko, SH2-126 resembles the head of a gecko. Behind the reflection nebula (cosmic dust), there is a large nebula made of hydrogen, rendered in red.

🔭 Afaik SH2-98 doesn't have a nice name and their friends haven't either. SH2-98 is the object on the lower left looking a bit like a rose. I took this on in July and August from Trevinca Skies, Spain.

🔭 I love the Cocoon Nebula: It's like a jelly fish roaming a dark sea with red kelp. To whom it may concern: this is a HaLRGB image taken at Trevinca Skies, ES.

🔭 This is LDN 1251, a.k.a the Rotton Fish. A reflection nebula in Cepheus. Click the link and zoom in to see small galaxies, red stars, and emission nebula hidden in the cosmic dust! Taken from Trevinca, Spain.

🔭Another emission nebula in Cygnus is SH2-101, the Tuli. On top of the tulip on the right side is a pair of stars, a white and yellow one. Besides the yellow one is Cygnus-X1, the first documented black hole.

🔭 SH2-91 looks very similar to the Veil Nebulae in Cygnus Loop, that's why some call it "The other Veil". However it's much fainter. Took this from the remote site Trevinca Skies in Spain.

🔭 There is a lot going on here: SH2-82, the Little Cocoon Nebula in the center, surrounded by small star clusters and reflexion nebulae. I made this image with my telescope at Trevinca Skies, Spain.

What makes you believe that the EU would be positive about the UK returning? It’s obvious that the EU works better and more efficiently without the UK.

The Giant Squid Nebula (OU4) was discovered by Nicolas Outters in 2011. A very unusual and beautiful object although quite hard to image. 🔭

🔭NGC 7023, aka the Iris Nebula, is a bright reflection nebula in the constellation Cepheus, where starlight from a young star illuminates surrounding interstellar dust, creating a vivid, flower-like glow. Image taken from trevincaskies.com, Spain.

🔭 Would you believe there are sharks in space? Not even the sharknado franchise went that far. Voilà: The Shark Nebula, LDN 1235. But don't be afraid, it's actually just stellar dust. And it's about 650 ly away.
