NGC7000 Narrow Band
NGC 7000 is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, located near Deneb (α Cygni), also called North America Nebula. The dark central region called the Gulf of Mexico, as in some astronomical plates many years it seemed that region of the Earth. NGC 7000 is a large nebula that covers an area equivalent to the full moon area, but its low surface brightness makes normally not visible to the naked eye (however, in a dark and using a filter night UHC can be seen without optical aid ). The dark area of the center is a very dense region of interstellar material in front of the nebula and which absorbs light of it, giving the whole its characteristic shape. It is not known precisely the distance that separates us from NGC 7000, or responsible for the ionization of hydrogen produced by the light emitting star. If, as some sources indicate, Deneb is the star that lights up the nebula NGC 7000 distance to Earth would be about 1800 light years.

IC59- IC63 Narrow Band
These magnificent clouds that appear to be flowing, like a cosmic ice it were. They can be found on a beautiful starry field in the direction of the constellation Cassiopeia. The IC 59 and IC 63 nebulae with a slight cometary appearance are at a distance of about 600 light years. Clouds are only 3 or 4 light years from Gama Casiopeae bright star, whose ultraviolet radiation is slowly dissipating both clouds. IC 63, the nebula on the right is closer to the star and shows the familiar red glow for the ionized hydrogen by ultraviolet radiation emitting its own light. IC 59, however, is furthest away from said star, exhibiting a little blue tinge characteristic of the reflected starlight. Has been used palette H-alpha, G and B, the luminance of alpha and h and a channel R

Heart Nebula IC1805
IC 1805 and IC 1848 are two emission nebulae located in the constellation Cassiopeia at 7500 light years from the solar system, in the Perseus spiral arm of the Milky Way. Both make up the stellar association OB6 Cassiopeia. 1805 IC also close Maffei I and Maffei II, two of the brightest galaxies in the Maffei Group are. Has a size of almost 200 light years, and ionization source are the stars of young (1.5 million years old) open cluster Melotte 15, located inside and have formed therein.

NGC2264 Narrow Band
NGC 2264: Cone Nebula at bottom with inverted Christmas Tree cluster above the cone; the bright star just above the cone is the tree topper and the very bright star at the top of the image (S Monocerotis) is the center of the tree trunk. The Fox Fur Nebula is at the top right corner. The Snowflake nebula is in the middle which shows up better on the infrared image.
Low to right we can observe NGC 2261 (also known as the Hubble Variable Nebula or Caldwell 46) is a variable nebula located in the constellation of the Unicorn. It is illuminated by the star Ro of that same constellation, although the star itself is not directly visible.

Saint-Véran (AstroQueyras) Observatory for Amateurs
AstrosibT500F8 (4m focal length !) with ASI1600MM-Cool
590 x 10sec exposures... up to mag. 24 !
Only 10 seconds exposures... Lucky Imaging with good seeing.
Around 1 arcsec resolution (0,2 arcsec sampling). You can see individual stars of this cluster at almost 2,5 million light years.
