Cocoon Nebula - IC 5146 Located in Cygnus, the IC 5146 is a reflection and emission nebula. I finally decided to put everything together on the Celestron EdgeHD 8 for deep space and do some testing to make sure my guiding worked and that I could reach focus. Guiding was the easy part, focus was the pain. I finally got it and on the first night I captured m27 amd NGC 869, those I will post soon. On night two, I decided to shoot the Cocoon on both my Edge as well as my Meade 80mm Triplet. This here is from the Edge, and though I had some focus drift in the middle of my imaging (can't seem to get the auto focus to do its thing when using my Canon), I am happy with the result, especially considering I did not use any filters. .

One of my favorites from last night’s images. The wind was bothersome, but it was an otherwise lovely night. . . . . . #observethemoon #celestrontelescope #celestron #backyardastronomy #stem #explorepage https://www.instagram.com/p/CjN_Z9WuBKZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cyclic universes Put forth by Albert Einstein in 1931, the theory suggests that prior to the Big Bang, there was another universe that existed. This universe expanded, then contracted into what is called a "big crunch," and its contraction led to the Big Bang that created our universe . . What's your view on this? .

•The Orion Nebula (M42)• Distance: 1,350ly Constellation: Orion Equipment: Seestar S50

A massive emission/reflection nebula visible to the naked eye, the Orion Nebula is a vast star forming region made primarily of hydrogen gas and obscuring dust particles. Approximately 4,000 times the mass of the Sun, it is the nearest star forming region to the Earth and is illuminated by the young bright cluster of stars known as the Trapezium.

Tulip Nebula (Sh2-101) with Cygnus X-1 Black Hole (HD 226868)

95 minutes on the Tulip Nebula in Cygnus, stacked and stretched in Siril, processed in Photoshop.

This photo also includes Cygnus X-1, a significant x-ray source which turned out to be the first black hole discovered. It obviously cannot be seen directly, however the black hole orbits HD 226868 (brightest star to the upper right of the nebula). The object was famously the subject of the bet between Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne, with Hawking betting that it was not a black hole while hoping to lose the wager.
