Took two months to gather enough photons for this one, clear skies were quite rare.

North America in Bicolor
A spell of quite some clear nights around the September new moon provided ample opportunity to catch enough photons for a well-known target.

NEOWISE moving through Ursa Major, animation of all 232 frames used for the previous image.
Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) – 2020-07-21 00:02 CEST
My latecomer to the vast collection of NEOWISE images elsewhere. Data captured in July, when the comet came in reach for my backyard.
All details at Astrobin.

Tja, was macht man, wenn das Wetter nun schon wieder zwei Neumondperioden ohne Clear Skies hat verstreichen lassen und der Ausflug in die Weiten und den dunklen Himmel von Namibia Corona-bedingt ausgefallen ist?
Genau, in Erinnerungen schwelgen. ;-) Daher habe ich eine Auswahl von Deep Sky Aufnahmen aus den Jahren 2017-2020 als Video zusammengebaut. Da seinerzeit superproduktiv, dominieren die Hakos-Aufnahmen von 2019. Enjoy!

NGC 7822 Central Region in BW
Black and white version (Ha) of the previously posted image. This is the bright central region of NGC 7822, also cataloged as Cederblad 214.
NGC 7822 Loop in BW
Black and white (Ha) version of the previously posted image, the northern “loop” part of the NGC 7822 complex (Skysafari catalogs this one alone as NGC 7822).
Heart and Fish Head in BW
Black and white version of the image posted previously.
Cederblad 214
Yet another bicolor processing of old data from 2018. Cederblad 214 is the brightest part of the NGC 7822 complex, strangely enough PixInsights’ annotation script regards this one alone as NGC 7822, which IMO also includes the loop from the previous post. See Astrobin for more details.

Even older data from 2018 in new bicolor processing. Part of the NGC 7822 complex in Cepheus. More details at Astrobin.
