Zwicky's Necklace 8 Zw 388
Copyright: DSS 2; processing: Gilles Chapdelaine
While not very colorfull and spectacular, this is a strange arrangement as rings of galaxies and very faint located in Virgo constellation. It is reported that the visual magnitude would be between 18-20 v.mag. for the group in "Galaxies and How to Observe Them" (2007) by W. Steinicke and R. Jakiel . The inset offer a better view of the "necklace"...
Cheers

Radical Retinoscopy, on Flickr
Comet Garradd (C/2009 P1) is seen in Draco on the evening of February 23, 2012. This image was made of a stack of ten 30 second exposures at ISO 3200 with a Canon t2i. The lens was a Canon 100 f/2 prime at f/2.8. Image stacking was accomplished using Images Plus with some cropping and fine-tuning in Photoshop. The series of exposures was taken from a dark sky site in Tonto National Forest, North of Phoenix. Thin cirrus clouds added a diffusion effect to the series of photos. An Orion equatorial platform was used for tracking during the series of photos.

Milky Way and air glow as seen from TÜBİTAK National Observatory, located at 2500m peak of Bakırlıtepe in Antalya. The airglow in the pictures are so bright that it seems like aurora which is not seen at 36 degree North latitude. The air glow was also recorded under 4 days old moon's light in the below image.

Hello
This nebula is located near the border of Orion and Gemini constellations.
The following picture was built from DSS argentic plates STScI_POSS2UKSTU_Blue, STScI_POSS2UKSTU_Red, STScI_QuickV, as available on the web.
Copyright Jean Pajus & STScI
I did find that exposures of these plates were well fitted to the rendition of this nebula.
