Amazing images! There is so much beauty throughout the Universe. It is impossible to wrap the brain around the immensity of what's displayed in these images.
Nice work! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Greg......it's amazing what is out there, and to think how long it's been there. All of these objects have spanned mankind's time here on Earth......

These are fantastic images! I wish we had a dedicated Astrophotography forum. I'd like to see a tutorial to get started. Thanks for posting.

Imagemaster - OK, "some" 
Thanks Odyssey, would be nice to have Astrophotography as its own forum.....I'm sure I'm not the only one on here that points a telescope

Amazing photographs, great work. Is it possible to provide captions with names of those celestial objects? All I can identify are the Andromeda galaxy (i hope that is correct) and Horsehead Nebula.

Morris - thank you
guywithgas - I will go back and annotate
Karl - Thanks! Astrophotography is complicated when first starting out, but it becomes second nature after a while.......if I can do it, anyone can........it DOES take a lot of integration time, most of those images are over 20 hours worth of exposure time
For those that would like some technical info:
All these were shot at my remote observatory (Starfront) using a 10 Micron mount, a Sharpstar SCA260 Aspherical Cassegrain, ZWO ASI2600MM monochrome camera, 7 position filter wheel, electronic focuser, rotator. Capture software using N.I.N.A., post processing in PixInsight and Affinity Photo. Most of the images were 20-30 hours of exposure time....a few were more than that.
