Thanks everyone,

The funny thing is, would be that the telescope i used to take those images is really made for deep space research, it has a lower grade quality CCD compared to other scopes in the observatory.

I study variable stars, so i just need the monochrome color, but those images above is just when I get "bored" and don't need to image anything important that i need.
