Sh2-240, also known as the Spaghetti Nebula is a very large and faint object that requires long exposures with a wide-field telescope. A reducer on the FSQ-106 in combination with full-frame camera and > 17h of exposure resulted in the following image.

The Veil Nebula in HOO was chosen as the first object to photograph using the new RST-135E mount. This ultra-portable mount is super-easy to setup and can be used without counterweights or balancing. First light and lessons learned on a beautiful target.

Recently (2011) the Flying Squid Nebula has been discovered right within the Flying Bat Nebula (Sh2-129). The very weak OIII object is hard to image and with almost 30h of total exposure this has been one of the most challenging objects so far.

The emission nebula NGC6888, also known as Crescent nebula, looks like a big brain-like structure surrounded by a lot of H-alpha emitting nebulosity.
