Comet Lovejoy, C/2014 Q2 amid the clusters, nebulas and dark dust clouds of Taurus and Perseus, on Friday, January 16, 2016. Its long blue ion tail stretches back at least 15°, almost to the open cluster NGC 1647 on Taurus at the left edge. At centre is the Pleiades star cluster, M45; at top right is the red California Nebula, NGC 1499, in Perseus, while the field is filled with the dark dusty lanes of the Taurus Dark Clouds. At left is the red giant star Aldebaran amid the V-shaped Hyades star cluster.

The arcs and wisps of the Veil Nebula supernova remnant in Cygnus,framed with the open star cluster NGC 6940 in Vulpecula at lower right. The area is marked by a sharp transition between clear starry sky in the Millky Way and brownish-yellow areas obscured by interstellar dust with fewer stars visible. The nebula colours show up well despite this being a "stock" camera,with no filters employed.

An ice crystal halo around the waxing gibbous Moon set in the winter stars of a January night. The 22° halo is most obvious and with a reddish and sharper inner rim.,and a bluish and more diffuse outer edge. But a faint inner 8° halo is also visible,a rare halo sometimes called the Van Buijsen Halo (according to Lynch and Livingston in their book Color and Light in Nature; Minnaert also mentions it in his seminal book The Nature of Color and Light in the Open Air).

The open star cluster NGC 1528,at left,accompanied by the emission nebula NGC 1491,at right,aka the Fossil Footprint Nebula,both in Perseus. The very red star below NGC 1528 is SY Persei. The faint nebula at centre is unidentified – the nebulas Sharpless 2-209 and Sharpless 2-206 are in the area but their positions on the TriAtlas do not coincide with the nebula recorded here. Nor is it marked on any other atlas I was able to check. But the TriAtlas might plot the Sharpless nebulas incorrectly. But photos on-line label this object as Sh2-209. The bright star at bottom right is Lambda Persei.

The region of the Southern Cross, Crux, at left and around the Carina Nebula, at right. To the left of the Southern Cross is the dark Coal Sack. Open star clusters around the Carina Nebula are NGC 3532 (at upper left of nebula), IC 2602, the Southern Pleiades (below the nebula), and NGC 3114 (right of nebula). Taken on a hazy night, so the glows around stars are natural and not introduced from a filter. This is a stack of 5 x 6 minute exposures at f/2.8 with the Sigma 50mm lens and Canon 60Da at ISO 800, on the iOptron SkyTracker. Taken from Coonabarbran, NSW, Australia, March 22, 2014.
