This one was especially fun because I have never taken pics of any of these before. They are close to Flaming Star and Tadpole Nebula that are often photographed (they are on the agenda for tonight and likely a couple of more nights because the clouds are not going to cooperate it looks like). These objects are a bit dimmer thus my taken 15 minute exposures (it’s hard to believe how well the gear we buy can operate to do this).
BTW, the big round one is the Great Pumpkin Nebula.
More fun exploring what’s out there in space that I can take pics of.
