The entries below are in AL# order. See the Slooh Scope tab above or click here for information on Slooh locations, scopes, presets, and weather/sky condition descriptions.
Image formats and post processing:
Slooh saves images in two formats: fits and jpgs. Slooh calibrates, stacks, and adjusts gamma based on preset prior to saving the image as a jpg. Fits are calibrated, saved but not stacked. All scope/cameras combinations other than the OSC Canary Three usually take single LRGB frames. (see the Slooh information tab for more detail)
I used the Slooh provided jpgs whenever possible and resorted to fits files only when image issues occur (bad tracking, filter wheel failure, mechanical problems).
The images were post processed with Levels, Curves and Astronomy Tools in my old version of PhotoShop to bring out more detail in the nebula. I used Noise Ninja to reduce noise in the images. My PhotoShop skills are limited.
In all images below North is Up and East is to the Left.
Note: I've very red/green colorblind so the colors below are probably not what normal vision people see. They look great to me!
When more than one bright nebula is in an image a description of the target's location and other nebula can be found beneath the picture. Right clicking on an image brings up a larger view in a new window. At the bottom of this page there's a embedded link to the Google Drive folder where all the images are stored. There are a few more viewing options there vs. the way the images are presented here.

I don't like cropping because I loose track of the FOV. I did crop this because NGC 1555 is so small. It is the fuzzy blob to the right of the central star. NGC 1554 or Struve's Lost Nebula may be a bit further to the right. It is questionable. Lots of processing noise in the image to bring out the target.

The insert is a massive stretch and just brings out a faint patch where CED 34 is supposed to be. Not much info from Google on what it should look like so I'd guess it is the target. The triangle of stars in the insert can be seen in the full sized image. The brighter blown out star is Upsilon Tau.

I don't like cropping because I loose track of FOV but I did it to this one because it is so small. I tried the Slooh scope with the smallest FOV (Canary Four 16x12 arcseconds) but there was too much blur.

OK, I cheated here. Everytime I get the target visible, the nebulosity on the left was really blown out. I ended up processing the image twice, once for NGC 2052 and then for the "circle." I then combined them for what you see above.
Lots going on here...
NGC 2052 is near the center of the image between two fairly bright stars.NGC 2033 is below and to the right NGC 2074 along and off the top edgeNGC 2091 in the upper left corner
On the left around the "circle": NGC 2083, NGC 2078, NGC 2079, NGC 2084 and NGC 2085 is above it.
