The Salamander (my own designation)

Yet another beautiful area around Cygnus that many seem to neglect and I fail to understand why. What I particularly love about this little gem is the high concentration of LBN, and LDN objects, but two objects that are not very well known that I find so bloody fascinating are: V1331 Cyg and GN 21.00.7 which is also known as HH 1051. V1331 Cyg is an extraordinary object because it is (or was) classified as a Young Stellar Object (YSO) meaning it is in the early stages of a star's evolution with a clearly defined protoplanetary disk! So even more intriguing... we have a view of the object's pole giving us an unprecedented view to study the early life of a star and the potential to search for the early stages of planet creation. Amazing. HH 1051 is an example of a very young star that is associated with areas of nebulosity and are created when gas ejected by the young star collides with clouds of nearby gas and dust at high rates of speed.* *adapted from Wikipedia Scope: Tak FSQ 106 EDXIII Mount: Astro-Physics Camera: FLI ML16803 Filter(s): Astrodon LRGB FL: F5 @530mm Software: PixInsight 1.8RC7, SGP Pro Integration Time: 10.25h Lum: 12 x 1200s (4.25h) RGB: 8 x 900s each (6h total)

Barnard 22 and IC 2087

A dark cloud of dust located between the constellations of Auriga and Taurus. I stumbled upon this object and thought why not just roll with it. A lot of very interesting galaxies are found within the dust, but also one new to me planetary - PN H 3-29 (69.348 25.04) I may have to reshoot all of the red data as it contributed a significant amount of noise. In the end very little noise reduction was used, but I am still not satisfied with the data as a whole. More luminance and will need to redo the composition.

This will certainly require significantly more time in luminance to eek out some of the noise as I hate relying upon noise reduction to accomplish that task for me. Next winter...
