Still working on getting the image where I want it. But this is the first cut with 2.5 hours of data.
I present the Pelican Nebula. 1800 light years away.

Time-lapse photo of a Delta II rocket launching the Kepler spacecraft into the night sky from Cape Canaveral, Florida. A crowd of onlookers watches from Jetty Park as the rocket streaks across the sky, leaving a bright trail of light. The Kepler mission aimed to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars.

Stunning image of NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula, a cosmic bubble 25 light-years across, illuminated by its central Wolf-Rayet star (WR 136). The vibrant colors represent emissions from sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. This nebula, located in Cygnus, is approximately 5,000 light-years away and is destined for a supernova explosion.

A stunning image of the Cocoon Nebula (IC 5146), a vibrant stellar nursery in the Cygnus constellation. This emission, reflection, and absorption nebula is illuminated by a massive, young star that punched a hole through a molecular cloud, creating the breathtaking colors and glowing gas we see. The nebula is located about 4,000 light-years from Earth.
