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 Read more…
LBN 643 or “The Helping Hand” , including the very faint dark (LDN 1357, LDN 1355, LDN 1358) and reflection (VdB 9, VdB 7) surrounding nebulae in Cassiopea. Total of 20 hours integration in LRGB, high resolution image here
The Andromeda Galaxy, or M31, is one of the most photographed deep sky object of the northern skies. It’s the nearest galaxy to our Milky Way (2.5 millions light years) of comparable size, they are expected to collide in around Read more…
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 Read more…
A four panels mosaic of a very dense dust and reflection nebula region in the Taurus Molecular Cloud, including LBN 782, Barnard 10, Barnard 7, VdB 27, IC 359 and LDN 1495. The center of the frame features the two 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 Read more…
Sh2-140 is an HII emission nebula on the edge of the Cepheus ring and part of the star-forming region of Cepheus molecular complex. The emission is caused by the radiation of young stars in the central part of the nebula Read more…
The Ghost Nebula (Sh2-134, VdB 141) is a reflection nebula in constellation Cepheus. Sh2-136 is part of a vast molecular cloud region that extends in the Cepheus region from the Iris nebula A very distinctive feature of the nebula is Read more…
An iconic reflection nebula , NGC7023 or Iris nebula is part of a very large molecular cloud system in the constellation Cepheus. The bright core is illuminated by the HD 200775 star and evokes the image of the flower. NASA 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 Read more…
