Narrowband

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…

One of the landmark deep sky objects of the northern skies: the Heart (IC1805 including Melotte15) and Fish (IC1795 & NGC896) nebulae. Part of constellation Cassiopeia, the Heart & Fish is one of the brightest HII emission regions. The central part of the nebula is known as Melotte 15, an Read more…

IC 1396, best known as the Elephant’s Trunk nebula is a very bright concentration of gas and dust within the region of Cepheus. This was my first capture of 2021 with the new ASI2600MM camera. I was impressed with the capabilities of the IMX571 mono sensor. I choose a different Read more…
