Sh2-119 in the constellation Cygnus isn't imaged very often in narrow band, I found the OIII to be almost non existent and the SII was very weak but with some coaxing out in the processing it started to show, this is over 9 hours of exposure time

Copyright: Svilen Ivanov This photo was taken on 30.12.2013 at 11:15 a.m (lokal time) in the Austrian Alps near St.Anton (47° 08' 33'' N; 10° 12' 19'' E), using iPhone (focal lenght 4mm, F-stop f/2.4, exp.time 1/13699 sec. at 50 ISO). Actually this are two different photographs,which were eventually stitched together. Hovering the mouse over the image will show the names and position of the different atmospheric phenomenons. The small white dots are snowflakes.

Always a crowd pleaser, the Rho Ophiuchi Complex is one of the most beautiful and colorful areas of the sky. This spectacular region is punctuated by the dark nebula B44, more commonly known as The Dark River.

In March 2014, ESO announced the discovery of rings around the asteroid Charilko.
The telescope photographed here is R. Sandness's Atacama Desert Observatory at San Pedro de Atacama Celestial Explorations (IAU observatory designation W97) which participated in the project (section 5 of this announcement)

Sometimes it's interesting to put a "face" to the story!
