Messier 1, the Crab Nebula captured with a 6.5" APO triplet refractor, CMOS color camera at a temperature of -25 Celsius and 146 minutes of expsoure time.

Packman Nebula, captured using a 6.5" APO triplet refractor, Triad Quad ultraband narrow filter, CMOS color camera with 72 minutes of exposure time.

M33, imaged in blue light.

The starless image of NGC7000, North American Nebula was captured using the Scientific Explore ED165mm APO refractor and ASI2600 CMOS color camera, at a temperature of -30 Celsius using 95 minutes of exposure time. The image was processed using Astro Pixel Processor with calibrated frames, StarNet to remove the stars, and an LPO filter using band-passes of OIII, H-beta, H-alpha, and SSI.

The North American Nebula (Cygnus Wall) was captured using a 6.5” APO Triplet APO refractor and CMOS color camera with a temperature of -30 Celsius, using 71 sub-frames at 60-second exposures each. The image was taken using a light pollution filter, including H-beta, OIII, H-alpha, and SSI band-passes. The North American Nebula is an emission nebula, that carries a designation of NGC7000 and is in the constellation Cygnus.
