This colorful image of Bok globule in NGC281 was taken by group member "Mazzif"
Punching in with a 10" Newtonian , we get to see the fine details of a well known target. Shot in the traditional SHO palette marks out the different emission lines and creates a stunning picture.

This dynamic image of the Flaming Star and Tadpole nebulae was taken by group member "Pheonix". The Flaming Star and Tadpole nebulae are located in the winter constellation Auriga. A constellation filled with targets for the astro imager in winter. Once done with Orion of course. This rendition is ~14hrs of data split between RGB and Duo-band imaging. Which gives the image that deep red from the Ha throughout and true color stars.

This beautiful image of Melotte 15 (The Heart of the Heart nebula) was taken by Steve. Melotte 15 sits in the heart of the heart nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. This rendition is composed of ~45hrs of data in the classic SHO Hubble palette with a little broadband for the stars, and captures some amazing detail in the Heart's heart.

This image of the NGC 2264 region is a two panel mosaic made by group member @seasalt.astro
This area has multiple objects in it and is a very well done two panel mosaic. Gathering data in HaRGB showcases the emission and reflection components. Enjoy!

This awesome image of Thor's Helmet was taken by group member "JemHadar444 with a ZWO Seestar S50 Smart telescope! This is 12hrs of integration time with the S50 dual band filter. Thor's Helmet is an emission nebula thought to have a few hundred solar masses of material around it. An amazing capture!

This beautiful image of the Pleiades was taken by group member "Mintakaite"
The Pleiades is an object that needs no introduction. It is a common winter target. This shot not only showcases the reflection nebulae surround the cluster but also the surrounding dust in the region. It's not often to get a shot like this. This was 5.6hrs from bortle 2/3 skies.
