LBN438 is a dark nebula in the constellation Cepheus. The dark nebula and its surrounding LBN435 and LBN440 are immerse in a dense and faint Ha emission field also know as ERE. A diversity of galaxies can be seen in the background. Total 25 hours integration in HaLRGB. High resolution Read more…
NOG 1579 or Northern trifid nebula is a bright HII emission region surrounded by a dusty region in the constellation . The name is inspired by its similarity to the well known M20 “Trifid nebula” in Sagittarius. The bright central region is energized by young forming stars that shine in Read more…
NGC 2403 (Caldwell 7) is a bright spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis. The galaxy resembles the more popular M33 for its shape and numerous HII glowing star forming regions that glow in a reddish color. Image is the result of 18 hours integration in HaLRGB High resolution here
M61, or NGC4303, is one of the many galaxies populating the Virgo Cluster. M61 is a barred spiral galaxy also known as “starburst” galaxy due to the intense rate of star formation, it is also one of the largest galaxy in the Virgo cluster, with a core dimension comparable to Read more…
First post of 2024 with a target that is often neglected for the neighboring and largely more famous North American and Pelican nebulas, IC5068 or LBN328 is a vast low emission region in Cygnus. Total 15 hours integration in SHO, high resolution here
LDN1452 is a vast dark molecular cloud between Aries and Taurus constellations. The two small reflection nebulas vdB13 and vdB13 are visible in the frame. Total 20 hours integration in LRGB High resolution here
A region in the constellation Cygnus encompassing an area from the variable star Wr134 to the Sh2-101 “Tulip” nebula. The intense radiation emitted by the very hot and massive variable Wolf-Rayet star collides with the surrounding nebulosity and produces a very distinctive faint bubble nebula that glows in the Oiii Read more…
NGC 7129 is a bright star forming region in the constellation Cepheus. The nebula is illuminated by the central star cluster. A vast Ha emission field surrounds the nebula and the dust lanes. NGC 7142 open star cluster is also visible in the frame. Total 22 hours integration in HaLRGB. Read more…
B22, also known as “The Pillars of Darkness”, “The Dementor Nebula” is is a dark molecular cloud complex part of the Taurus Dark Cloud in the constellation Taurus. The reflection nebula IC 2087 is visible in the central part of the dark cloud resembling a lighten up flame. Total 23 Read more…
