Al Johnson sent this excellent image of NGC 6960, the Witch’s Broom Nebula. It is mono taken through a 12nm Oiii filter with his FS102 refractor. Nine exposures at 10 minutes each.

Jim Mazur captured this image of the Iris Nebula (NGC 7023, or Caldwell 4) with his 14-inch Meade telescope and SBIG imager. The blue color is typical of reflection nebulae. The bright central region is surrounded on several sides by dark nebulae that show up as areas with few stars.

Andy Buynak took these two pictures I took of the lunar eclipse on November 19, 2021.  He used his cell phone attached to a 4.5 Orion telescope.
