2022 Finishing up the year

 Mars near opposition December 21, 2022

The structure near center is called Solis Lacus, or the "Eye of Mars".

The Bubble Nebula 2021

The Bubble Nebula lies about 7000-11000 light years from us in the constellation of Cassiopeia.  The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot young central star.  The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.  It was discovered in 1787 by William Herschel.

This is from the older QSi 683wsg camera taken Aug-Oct, 2021 with 36 hours total imaging time.

IC63 - the Ghost of Cassiopeia

These are some of the last images I acquired with the QSI690 camera in Oct-Nov, 2021.  These are IC59 and IC63 nebulae, nicely described in this Hubble article or this ESA article. The star that illuminates this structure, Gamma Cas, is very interesting - unstable and massive, throwing off huge amounts of energy and mass.
