Pelican Nebula
Close to the North America Nebula from yesterday is the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070). Star formation and gaseous clouds form this Pelican looking target (see it?). This is 1800 LY away from earth. 3 hours of data. SV503 80ED telescope, SV193 .8 Reducer and ZWO ASI533mc Pro.

Galaxies around NGC 7331
Galaxies around NGC 7331, 40 million lightyears far. The main one is an unbarred spiral with a diameter of 120000 lightyears as the MilkyWay. Image by Xavier Bros & @jaume_zapata -@Astrosabadell- from the "Anysllum" observatory. Today it is visible a bright supernovae there‼️.

NGC 7000
This is the North America Nebula (NGC 7000) in Cygnus. 3 hours of data processed in Pixinsight. I used my SvBony SV-503 80ED with the SV-193 Reducer on this. The camera was the ZWO ASI533mc Pro OSC.
NGC 1555
NGC 1555 (Hind's Variable Nebula) is an intriguing region of mixed nebulosity located about 400 light years away in Taurus. Lit up by the bright star, T Tauri, the nebula was discovered in 1852 by John Russell Hind and bears the name of its discoverer. 📷 AstroDrudis #NGC1555
IC 1311
IC 1311 · Open Cluster of diamond stars, served on a gooey red bed of hydrogen. I shot this over past 4 nights. 14 hours, 40 min. No filters. Fun fact: In December I can shoot as much in one night here as I can in July in 4 nights. Full tech stats: astrobin.com/b4bbdo/…
