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…
Dusty region in the constellation Ursa Major, including NGC2787 and many other galaxies. The region is next to the well known M81 and M82 galaxies. Total 19hrs integration in LRGB. High resolution here
The Great Orion Nebula, M42, is one of the most iconic objects of the winter northern skies. Located in the constellation of Orion, south of the Orion Belt. The central part of the nebula is so bright that can be observed with naked eyes from a dark location. Total of Read more…
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…
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…
