The Orion Nebula, AKA Messier 42 (or M42), is a very near, star-forming region, located approximately 1,350 light-years away and is about 2 million years old.

Image Description and Details : About 3 degrees east of the famous Soul Nebula and right on the border between Cassiopeia and Camelopardalis lies a rather long area of dark molecular clouds within a larger area of background HII emission. A good portion of these molecular clouds are part of Lynds Catalog of Dark Nebulae which is a list assembled by Beverly Lynds in the 1950s-1960s. These dense molecular clouds are often areas of star formation and indeed there is at lease one easily visible young stellar object (YSO) within the image and nine LDN objects (1378-1386). The annotated image circles these LDN objects along with a few background galaxies. This area also has a large area of HII emission and some brighter un-catalogued emission nebula and is part of the larger Sharpless 2-202 area. Just left of center is the large (29 arc minute) Stock 23 open star cluster which lies 1200 light years distant.

Image Description and Details : This widefield image consists of the extremely dusty patch of the Cepheus constellation. The region contains a plethora of dark and bright nebulae belonging to the Lynd's dark and bright sky catalogue, the more notable of them being the three nebulae named after the fishes LDN 1251 or the Rotten fish or Angler fish Nebula, LDN 1235 or the Shark Nebula, and VBD 152 or Barnard 175 also sometimes referred as the Eel nebula, which all seem to be engrossed in some sort of a race.

Image Description and Details : Taken over 4 nights with my 8" newtonian, there are approximately 12 hours total with a small addition of RGB integration purely for the color stars. While most people use SCNR to remove the green, I particularly enjoy it on this target; it adds a nice taste of color depth. I am also fond of the stars glowing through the 'bullet hole' iof the trunk.

Due to the bad weather, I decided to invest some time in a new, improved version of the „Jellyfish Nebula“ (IC 443) in Gemini. I captured this fantastic nebula 7 months ago, and it’s still one of my favorite objects in the sky! Hope you like it!

Image Description and Details : As soon as I saw a photo of this nebula on the internet, I immediately knew I also wanted to photograph it. I went up to a nearby mountain pass with dark skies that same night and shot the nebula for as long as my battery allowed me. I was very pleased that in addition to the Eagle, I was also able to photograph a large amount of the nearby dust clouds.

Image Description and Details : The Spitzkoppe, or the "Matterhorn of Namibia", is a group of bald granite peaks located between Usakos and Swakopmund in the Namib desert of Namibia. More than 120 million years old, the highest outcrop rises about 1700mtrs above sea level. Many examples of Bushmen artwork can be seen painted on the rocks in the Spitzkoppe area though many of them have been destroyed. The Spitzkoppe Mountains were also the filming location for 2001: A Space Odyssey in the "Dawn of Man" sequences.

The rock arch seen here is also a well-known formation and has featured in many a composition and to photograph the arch, one has to camp inside the reserve as the gates are closed at night. Behind and to the left of the arch is the Spitzkoppe peak while to the right I think is the Pontos range. In the sky we can see the North American nebula and the Sadr region showing off their hydrogen gases and the Andromeda Galaxy puts in an appearance on the right, in an orientation we Northerners are not used to seeing….

Image Description and Details : ic 348 ir flying ghost nebula
Questa distesa cosmica di polvere, gas e stelle copre circa 3 gradi del cielo nell'eroica costellazione del Perseo.
Si individua pochissimi primi d'arco a sud della stella ο Persei, nell'area di cielo in cui si incontrano le costellazioni di Perseo, Ariete e Toro; è poco nota nell'ambito dell'osservazione amatoriale a causa della vicina presenza delle Pleiadi e della ben più grande Nebulosa California, sebbene sia più luminosa delle nebulose associate alle Pleiadi.
In alto a sinistra nello splendido paesaggio del cielo c'è l'affascinante giovane ammasso stellare IC 348 e la vicina Flying Ghost Nebula alla periferia della gigantesca nuvola molecolare di Perseo, a circa 850 anni luce di distanza. Altre nebulose polverose sono sparse nel campo visivo, insieme al debole bagliore rossastro dell'idrogeno gassoso.
In effetti, la polvere cosmica tende a nascondere le stelle di nuova formazione e i giovani oggetti stellari o protostelle da telescopi ottici indiscreti. Crollo a causa dell'auto-gravità, le protostelle si formano dai densi nuclei incorporati nella polverosa nuvola molecolare. Alla distanza stimata della nuvola molecolare, questo campo visivo si estenderebbe per quasi 35 anni luce

Image Description and Details : NGC 1491 (also known as the Fossil Footprint, LBN 704 or Sh2-206) is a bright nebula discovered by William Herschel in 1790, in the constellation of Perseus. It is glowing deep red because the hydrogen gas in the nebula is energized by hot, massive stars embedded within. These stars emit copious amounts of ultraviolet (UV) light that causes the gas to glow.
Here is in Hubble palette rendition.

Image Description and Details :

IC63 THE GHOST OF CASSIOPEE

Very pale and indistinct nebula, it is nicknamed "The Ghost". It's a difficult object to see because it's drowned under a flood of stars. Only large light instruments allow you to see this nebula that accompanies IC 59, even less distinct.
