Looks like an out of focus image of Bigfoot to me!  Seriously though, I'm enjoying this thread. ?

Too easy?

It was the colour. Most people process it in shades of red. Maybe all pics should be B&W.

This is a great thread. Well done @Rodd

It is encouraging us all to look a little deeper at our images, and see things we may have missed or overlooked before.

Thank-you Rodd ??

Your welcome.  What else can we do during weeks and weeks of cloudy weather!

Buy stuff. I find buying stuff helps  like a 1600mm 

[Rodd]

How about radio telescope technology--that way the clouds won't matter!

How about this little beasty?

It's actually quite sunny here. Even during the night. But I'm not into solar imaging.

Window shopping only, unfortunately. But I may make a few small investments by the time darkness returns.

Another Heart Nebula?

I think Hunter has a photographic atlas of the heavens in his head!.  That;s correct.

Just spent too much time on the imaging forum?

YES!!  Here is my photo:

 

The wall behind the horsehead .. Alnitak end!

(I have my own version on the wall behind me to check!)

How about this one.

Looks almost like another section of the Heart nebula, but probably isn't. The palette suggests a narrowband target, though. The soul nebula, perhaps?

No...This one is much less frequently seen I think, though this particular feature is in the main portion, which is often imaged by itself.

Here's one:

Maybe too hard...

[Stub Mandrel]

This should be easy...

Searched the net for narrow band candidates. Found a lot of interesting targets, some of which I may image in the future. But couldn't find this detail. Btw, the dark structure looks very much like the snake nebula, but it's in the wrong place.

I'll say.  Is it the little galaxy in the middle?  Or the faint nebulosity?

It does look familiar...….NGC 1333?

This feature can be seen from the blue highway, the one you take to see the Lions

I "cheated" again, but it was a tough one

Well, at least you did not plate solve!
