NGC 6334, the Cat's Paw Nebula: this image represents 4 hours and 40 minutes of integration time using a Tecnosky AG 90 (90/450 f/5) telescope and a ZWO ASI 6200 MC-P camera. It consists of 18 exposures taken with an L-Extreme filter, along with 10 dark, 10 flat, and 10 bias frames. I processed the data using PixInsight and Photoshop, aiming to extract as much signal as possible. All data and images were acquired via Telescope Network.

It consists of 24 exposures: 4x1800s for Ha, OIII, and SII each, and 4x300s for R, G, and B each. I processed the data using PixInsight and Photoshop, aiming to extract as much signal as possible.

Gum 16, the Vela Nebula: this image represents 3 hours of integration time using an L-Extreme filter, a Tecnosky AG 90 (90/450 f/5) telescope, and a ZWO ASI 6200 MC-P camera.

All data and exposures were acquired via Telescope Network.

The Small Magellanic Cloud, exactly 2 hours and 50 minutes of integration with a Tecnosky AG 90 90/450 f/5 telescope and a ZWO ASI 6200 MC camera, I used the L-ENHANCE filter, there are 17 shots of 600 seconds, all on an Ioptron CEM 120 mount, I processed with Pixinsight also using the TGVDenoise tool to try to eliminate both noise and chrominance, then I used the Camera Raw filter on Photoshop for some small retouching. All data and shots were acquired with Telescope Network

The Markarian Chain, is a 2 hour exposure in HaLRGB with a Planewave 17" CDK 432/2939 f6/8 telescope, ZWO ASI6200MM Pro camera on a Paramount PME mount, it is 20 shots of which with the Ha filter 4x600 seconds, with the L filter 4x300 seconds, with the R filter 4x300 seconds, with the G filter 4x300 seconds and with the B filter 4x300 seconds, I processed with Pixinsight and I also used the Camera Raw filter in Photoshop trying to extract as much signal as possible

NGC 6193, 2 hours and 50 minutes of integration with a Tecnosky AG90 90/450 f/5 telescope, ZWO ASI 6200MC camera, L-ENHANCE filter, there are 17 shots of 600 seconds each, I processed with Pixinsight trying to extract as much signal as possible and zoomed in on this nebula, I then continued with Photoshop using the Camera Raw filter to eliminate the haze. All data and shots were acquired with Telescope Network

I present my latest highly integrated work, a deep journey into the heart of the Cassiopeia constellation. The shot shows the incredible contrast between two fascinating and complex objects: CTB-1 (the spectacular "Garlic" Nebula, an ancient supernova remnant) and the nearby, bright region of ionized hydrogen, Sh2-168. To capture the faint filamentary structure of CTB-1 and the most hidden details of this portion of the sky, over 35 hours of exposure were required, combining the power of the narrowband signal with the natural colors of the stars in RGB.

Technical Acquisition Details: Total integration time: 35 hours and 28 minutes Telescope: Skywatcher Esprit ED100 (100/550 f/5.5) Acquisition camera: ZWO ASI6200MM Pro Channel palette: SHORGB Total shots: 576 exposures distributed as follows:

H-alpha (Ha): 130 x 300 seconds OIII: 130 x 300 seconds SII: 128 x 300 seconds R filter: 63 x 60 seconds G filter: 63 x 60 seconds B filter: 62 x 60 seconds.

The management and calibration of this enormous amount of data were entirely performed by combining the precision of PixInsight for calibration, stacking, and initial development of the linear signal, and refined in Photoshop for final color grading and contrast optimization of the finest details. What do you think of the result? Clear skies to all!
