NGC 7822, also known as Sh2-171 is a vast emission region in the constellation Cepheus. A powerful region for new stars formation, which strong radiation ionizes the surrounding gas causing it to glow. Image is a two-panels mosaic narrowband SHO palette with RGB stars, 30hrs total integration time (15hrs/panel) High Read more…

An overview over the magnificent Cygnus molecular complex with a four panels mosaic of the SADR star region and Sh2-108 Gamma Cygni Nebula. The NGC6910 open cluster is also visible in the lower right quadrant. The nebula was photographed between June and July 2022 with over 64 hours of total Read more…

One of the most photographed targets in the northern hemisphere summer sky, the Sh2-101, or Tulip Nebula, is a fascinating HII emission region in the constellation of Cygnus. Next to the Tulip it is possible to observe the bow shock wavefront produced by the strong Cygnus X-1 x-ray binary system. Read more…

NGC6823 is a spectacular emission region in the constellation Vulpecula, encircled by the larger and fainter Sh2-86 formation. Total 13.5hrs integration in SHO palette High resolution here

Sh2-119 also known as the Clamshell nebula is a large emission complex in Cygnus, surrounding the bright star 68 A Cyg. Several dark dust lanes and globules cross the nebula creating suggestive dark filaments. 15hrs total integration time in narrowband SHO palette (5hrs Ha/Oiii/Sii each). High resolution here

This very interesting object in constellation Cygnus resembles the most famous Cocoon nebula. According to information I found online the the nebula is related to the RAFGL 2789 infrared emission source. Image is the result of of 13h integration of Ha, Oiii, Sii (4 h 20 min each filter) combined Read more…

HFG1 and Abell6, two very faint and unique nebulas in the constellation Cassiopea. The shape of HFG1 is formed by a system of binary stars orbiting each other and moving very fast through the Milky Way. The power of the system creates a shockwave as it is moves through the Read more…

IC 5070 or The Pelican Nebula is vast HII emission region next to the North America nebula, in the constellation Cygnus. Shot in narrowband SHO palette, the vast colorful emission region is covered by a foreground molecular cloud forming an intricate texture of dark filaments. The image is the result Read more…

The Sh2-134 complex in Cepheus is a vaste emission nebula that extends around the star λ Cephei . It is characterized by a diffuse Ha and Sii emissions and a much weaker Oiii region that surrounds the star. The image is the result of a two panels mosaic for a Read more…

IC 443 also best known as the Jellyfish Nebula (in my opinion the nebula resembles much more a gigantic galactic brain than a jellyfish) is a galactic remnant of a supernova explosion in the constellation Gemini. I always find extraordinary that we can witness the effect of such a spectacular Read more…
