M97 - The Owl Nebula629 viewsPlanetary nebula in the constellation Ursa Major, 2030 light-years distance from Earth and about 8000 years old. The blurred appearance results from the fact that it consists of several overlapping shells of gas. The shells are not entirely concentric, but form a barrel-like structure which gives rise to the owl-like appearance.

NGC 457 - The Owl Cluster595 viewsAn open star cluster in the constellation Cassiopeia, about 7,900 light-years distance from our Solar System. The "eyes" are the magnitude 5 star Phi-1 Cassiopeiae and magnitude 7 Phi-2 Cassiopeiae.

IC1396A - Elephant Trunk Nebula 716 viewsA narrowband (Hubble Palette) image of a dense cloud of gas and dust within a much larger region of ionized gas designated IC1396, illuminated and ionized by the massive bright star HD206267 at the upper right corner of the frame. I don't find that the shape of the nebula resembles an elephant's trunk, but rather, as Michelle Evans has suggested, a dragon named Verminthrax Pejorative from the movie Dragonslayer.

NGC 1499 - The California Nebula582 viewsAn emission nebula in the constellation Perseus, so called because it resembles the State of California in shape (though not in this image). About 1000 light-years from Earth.

M8, the Lagoon Nebula, and M20, the Trifid Nebula573 viewsTwo jewels of the summer sky captured in the same frame with a bridge of nebullosity between them.

M42 - The Great Nebula in Orion612 viewsA narrowband image of the Orion Nebula, captured with a one-shot color CMOS camera and an IDAS NBZ nebula enhancement filter.

Messier 13 - Hercules Globular Cluster508 views145 light-years in diameter, consisting of several hundred thousand stars, this is the most famous globular cluster in the Northern Hemisphere and is about 22,000 miles from Earth.

M45 - The Pleiades549 viewsA star cluster consisting of young, hot blue stars, about 130 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus. Only part of the cluster is shown here because it is too large to fit in the scope's field of view.

Sh2-290 - Planetary Nebula in Cancer602 viewsAlso known as Abell 31 and PK 219+31.1. Ancient planetary nebula, about 2000 light-years away, one of the largest in the sky but very dim.Jul 10, 2025

Sh2-311 - Emission nebula in Puppis544 viewsSharpless 311 (Sh2-311, NGC 2467, Gum 9, LBN 1065 + 1067) is a bright nebula located approximately 20,500 light-years away in the constellation Puppis.Jul 10, 2025

Sharpless2-313 - Planetary Nebula in Hydra591 viewsAbout 400 light-years away. Also known as Abell 35 or PN G303.6+40.0.Jul 10, 2025

Sharpless2-180621 viewsDiffuse emission nebula in Cassiopeia, quite dimJul 10, 2025

NGC2359 - Thor's Helmet565 viewsAn emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major. About 12,000 light-years distant and 30 light-years in size. Associated with the Wolf-Rayet star WR7.Jul 10, 2025

M74, Spiral Galaxy in Pisces597 viewsGrand design spiral galaxy with two clearly defined spiral arms winding counterclockwise from center. About 32 million light-years distant.Jul 10, 2025

Messier 67 - Open cluster in Cancer576 viewsSometimes called King Cobra or Golden Eye Cluster. Distance 2600-2900 light-years. Estimated age 3.2 to 5 billion years.Jul 10, 2025

M44 - The Beehive Cluster563 viewsOpen cluster in the constellation Cancer. Around 600 light-years distant and 600 million years old.Jul 10, 2025
