NGC 2264

NGC 2264 including the Christmas Tree Cluster and Cone Nebula is a magnificent star forming region located in Monoceros, not far from Orion. Total 18 hours integration time in SHO narrowband palette with RGB stars. I also tried to blend in the central Fox Four nebula which has blue reflection Read more…

NGC 7822

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…

Sh2-119 Clamshell nebula

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

Sh2-124

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…
