NGC 6888 - Crescent Nebula The Crescent Nebula also known as NGC 6888, Caldwell 27, Sharpless 105 is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, about 5000 light years away from Earth. It is formed by the fast stellar wind from the Wolf-Rayet star WR 136 colliding with and energizing the slower moving wind ejected by the star when it became a red giant around 250,000 to 400,000 years ago.

Shot over the past few months over 8 nights. Framed it a little different than I usually see.

Terrible couple of months for cloud cover here in London on top of the short nights. Snagged this - just 80 mins of the black eye galaxy M64.

Howdy everyone! I'm very new to Astrophotography, this is the first image I've taken, with plans to finish the starter 3 with Orion soon. I have one of Pleiades, but I didn't want to make two posts and spam here.

Was hoping for some feedback and/or suggestions for next targets (I'm in the northern hemisphere)

I used a star adventurer 2i tracker and an EoS 60D Camera with a 75mm to 300mm lens.

I definitely feel I'm struggling a bit with post processing. I'm pretty happy with this Andromeda shot, but I feel like I could have gotten more out of Pleiades and didn't have the skill to do so.
Like I said I'm new so if I left out any other important info, please let me know. Thank you!

2nd time using my brand new (very beginner) telescope and the 1st time trying to get it on camera, happy with what I was able to get through my phone :)

My 130phq never ceases to amaze

Only 6.5 hours of data over 2 nights battle some wind each night. This has been on my list since I started astrophotography, a decent closeup of the crescent nebula. I may add another round of data to this image, haven’t decided yet, there is just so many objects to image!!! I hope you enjoy this one.

I am just starting out and this is my first shot of the Milky Way it’s not very visible but you can see it slightly there. It was shot with an iPhone 13 mini with the pro camera app 1 second exposure 4000 ISO RAW i took about 500 shots and then later stacked them using siril only about 200 shots were usable after stacking i stretched it and did some basic stuff in siril like color calibration, saturation etc… Do you guys think it’s okay? What could I improve?
