Barnard 174, LDN1164

Barnard 174 is a dark nebula in constellation Cepheus (LDN1164 and LDN1165). A very dark and dense molecular cloud that absorbs pretty much all the light form the forming stars. Other celestial objects are visible in the frame such as LBN485, LBN486 and LBN491 emission nebulas. The image was challenging Read more…

LBN438

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…

Sh2-187

Sh2-187 emission nebula in Cassiopeia is a young star formation region surrounded by a wide region of molecular clouds and dark nebulas. The dark nebula LDN 1317 partially obscures the HII emission region. Total 19 hours integration in LRGB, high resolution here.

Wr134 and Sh2-101

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…
