NGC 869 & NGC 884 (The Double Cluster) in Perseus.
Two star clusters, NGC 869 & NGC 884 in the constellation Perseus. The clusters contain many bright blue and orange stars in a fairly dense field of dimmer stars.

Took a picture of that one several days ago. It's very dim and not easy to see next to the bright star Gamma Cas.
The ghost shaped IC 63, a faint nebula in a dense field of stars and dark dust near the bright star gamma Cas. A more diffuse nebula IC 59 is above and to the right.

That's one of my favorites. I took picture of it few days ago when the sky was clear.
NGC 7023, a reflection nebula in Cepheus. A wispy, pale blue and white cloud in a field of bright stars and dust.

The Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant in Taurus.
The Crab Nebula (Messier 1) — a supernova remnant centered in a moderately dense field of stars. The image is about 30 arcmin across and the nebula is about 4.5x7 arcmin. It is a roughly oval, irregularly shaped, filamentary cloud of gas and dust with a bright, wispy texture. It exhibits pale hues of gray-white with reddish tones from ionized gases (mostly hydrogen, helium, sulfur, and oxygen). The oxygen emission has a bluish color but is not really visible in this image. There is a pulsar at it's center, a fast rotating neutron star, that is the collapsed remnant of the star. It is not visible in the visible spectrum but is very bright in x-rays. It is the remnant of a supernova in the constellation Taurus recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054 CE. It is about 1 degree NW of the magnitude 3 star Zeta Tauri.
