took these 30 minutes from the city and with half quarter moon light. The Pleaides is a single 20 second 4000 ISO exposure. The others are 30 stacked photos 20 second 4000 ISO using a 10 inch 3.9 Orion telescope. All were processed in photoshop using adjustment layering techniques


Witch Broom Nebula (part of Veil Nebula)

Orion Nebula (M42) and De Mairan's Nebula (M43) (both part of the greater complex) and Running Man Nebula (NGC 1977) (the blue part on the left), with the cluster on the right ..these are the 3 points of light you can see with the naked eye that run perpendicular to Orion's belt

Space has always fascinated me, amazing photos! The process of taking the photos and then editing them sounds like a lot of work. Thanks for sharing.
 
Does looking up at the stars help us know more about ourselves?

Of course it does. Where what you are made of came from. When our reality and what we are made from came into existence. What are our time limitations on our planet. There are actually too many things to list. Much of the technology you are using and humans previously used came from looking up into space. GPS, TV, nuclear power......
 
Found a location with really dark skies about 90 minutes east of seattle. Vast improvements in detail and color. All shot at 3200 ISO stacked 30 (40 second) exposures (Andromeda was 40 stacked)
