Cats Paw or Bears Paw Nebula. Just a quick one. I managed a couple of hours, there's fainter nebulosity in the background a few more hours would easily bring that out. The cats paw nebula is an emission nebula and star forming region.

Jezero Crater, Mars 2020's Landing Site NASA's Mars 2020 will land in Jezero Crater, pictured here. The image was taken by instruments on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which regularly takes images of potential landing sites for future missions. On ancient Mars, water carved channels and transported sediments to form fans and deltas within lake basins. Examination of spectral data acquired from orbit show that some of these sediments have minerals that indicate chemical alteration by water. Here in Jezero Crater delta, sediments contain clays and carbonates.

Tarantula Nebula This deep-sky object is incredibly fascinating! I did a bit of research and i have leant, it was first discovered in the 1750s by Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille. It has an apparent magnitude of 8. Which is pretty bright! According to Wikipedia, if the Tarantula Nebula was as close to us as Orion Nebula it would cast visable shadows! Wow. It is one of the largest Hii regions and is the most active starburst region within our local group (area of the universecontaining our galaxy and other nearby galaxies) . The centre of the Nebula is lit by a star cluster (NGC2070) which is estimated to be 450,000 solar masses (a unit of measurement derived from the mass of our sun). There are supernova remnants amongst all the gas and nebulosity, the closest observed being 1987A. This is about 9 hours of integration time taken over multiple nights using: Skywatcher F5 750mm Newtonian Skywatcher EVO Lux 62ED ASI533 OSC Saxon NEQ6 pro Optolong L-enhance filter Optolong cls-ccd filter Nexsus .75 reducer/corrector QHY5L-IIM camera and scope for guiding.

Homunculus Nebula. Located about 7,500 light years from earth. This feature was formed by a massive gas ejection from the star Eta Carinae dubbed 'The Great Eruption'. Which was observed on Earth between 1838-1845. How incredibly awesome it would have been to witness and record such an event. At the time, this event resulted in Eta Carinae becoming the second brightest star in the sky after Sirius. This near supernova explosion produced two polar lobes (known as a bipolar nebula), and a large but thin disk, all moving outward at up to 670 km/s!!
