M31 The Andromeda Galaxy Ha+RGB
I added some Ha to my existing data for this image to better highlight the red nebulae. I tried a few methods, but settled on this one as it seemed to blend nicely.

Observing challenge!
Want to try for Sirius B, the famous white dwarf? Sirius A and B are still at about the widest apparent separation of their 50-year orbit. You'll want at least a 10-inch scope and a night of really excellent seeing.

@CathAdams1973@FLO_UK Amazing, Cath!
I’m still tempted to get one, just haven’t managed to justify it yet with all my other gear (that I can’t use because it’s cloudy all the time!)
First image of Jupiter, with Io and it's shadow, and the GRS, taken with my new Uranus-M mono camera last night.
The plan is to get an IR pass filter which will hopefully help me get sharper mono images to use as a luminance layer combined with colour from my Uranus-C camera.
The Spaghetti Nebula
A faint supernova remnant in Taurus, formed ~40,000 years ago.
It spans almost 6 full Moons - far larger than what fits in a single frame at this focal length.

Early Sunday morning, the Moon and Spica will be 3° or 4° apart. And as early dawn brightens, Mercury will rise some four fists lower left of the Moon. Fainter Beta Scorpii will shimmer 0.6° lower right of Mercury.
