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
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…
Sh2-150 and Sh2-145 constitute a vast emission area in Cepheus, Sh2-150 is the brightest of the two and next to the blue reflection nebula VdB154, with some surrounding dark nebula. Image is a composition of 17 hours in HaLRGB High resolution here
The Cocoon Nebula, IC 5146, a reflection and emission nebula in Cygnus, illuminated by the central hot star. The nebula is surrounded by a dense molecular cloud which expands outwards in the iconic tail-shaped dust lanes, forming several magnificent figures. Diffuse Ha emission dominates the background. Image is the result Read more…
LBN 762, also known with the nickname of Drunken Dragon is a dark nebula in the constellation Aries part of a vast molecular cloud complex including the nearby LBN 753. The area is populated by many galaxies visible in the background. The name comes from the resemblance with a “smoky” Read more…
