M42 - The Great Nebula in Orion568 viewsA narrowband image of the Orion Nebula, captured with a one-shot color CMOS camera and an IDAS NBZ nebula enhancement filter.

The Heart Nebula553 viewsEmission nebula in Cassiopeia, 7500 light-years away from Earth. The Fish-head Nebula is also seen as a cancerous outgrowth from the Heart Nebula at lower left.

IC2118, the Witch Hunt Nebula523 viewsFaint reflection nebula in Eridanus, usually known as the Witch Head Nebula, but it doesn't look much like a witch's head in this view, shot with an IDAS NBZ nebula enhancement filter, so maybe this version is best titled the "Witch Hunt Nebula." About 900 light-years away; illuminated by the nearby supergiant blue-white star Rigel in Orion.

M1 - The Crab Nebula, narrowband version554 viewsA Hubble palette rendition of the remnant of the supernova seen by Chinese astronomers in 1054 CE.

Post-Totality 1609 viewsThe Moving Finger writes, and having writ,
Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.
- The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

IC443 - Jellyfish Nebula552 viewsA galactic supernova remnant in Gemini, about 6000 light-years away.

Markarian's Chain of Galaxies462 viewsA chain of galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, named after a Soviet astronomer. Right to left: M84, M86, NGC 4477, NGC 4473, NGC4461, NGC 4458, NGC4438 and NGC4435.

Messier 39 - Open Cluster in Cygnus443 viewsAn open cluster in the constellation Cygnus the Swan; distance 1010 light-years.
