IC2177-20230219-NBZ3.jpg
IC2177 - The Parrot Nebula257 viewsUsually known as the Seagull Nebula, but to me it looks more like a parrot. An HII region lying along the border between Canis Major and Monoceros.

NGC 7822 - Star-forming region in Cepheus287 viewsIncludes the emission nebula Sharpless 171 and the star cluster Berkeley 59. Around 3000 light-years from Earth.
Sh2-106_20230923_NBZ_v2.jpg
Sh2-106 - Snow Angel Nebula233 viewsEmission nebula and star forming region in Cygnus, about 2000 light-years from Earth.
Gum85_20230715_OSC1.jpg
Gum 85/Sh2-54 - nebula in Serpens237 viewsGum 85/Sh2-54 is a star forming region in Serpens Cauda, part of the Serpens OB2 Association, a large star forming region possibly associated with the open star cluster NGC6604 (not in view). Around 5000 light years away.
IC4604-20230513-LRGB2.jpg
IC4604, The Rho Ophiuchi Nebula256 viewsPart of the Rho Ophiuchi complex, a gaggle of interstellar clouds centered 1 degree south of the star Rho Ophiuchi. Estimated distance from Earth is 460 light-years.
M17_20230719_OSC2.jpg
M18 and M17 together238 viewsTwo Messier objects - M18, a sparse open cluster, at left, 4230 light-years away; and M17, the Swan or Omega Nebula, at right, 5 to 6 thousand light-years distant, both in Sagittarius.
M20_20230718_OSC2.jpg
M8, the Lagoon Nebula, and M20, the Trifid Nebula200 viewsTwo jewels of the summer sky captured in the same frame with a bridge of nebullosity between them.
NGC2264_20221218_RRGB1.jpg
NGC2264 - Christmas Tree Cluster/Cone Nebula233 viewsBoth a cluster and a nebula, NGC2264 is located in the constellation Monoceros, 2,300 light-years from Earth.
NGC7380-20230715_OSC3.jpg
NGC7380 - The Wizard Nebula214 viewsOpen cluster with surrounding nebulosity in Cepheus, about 8500 light-years away.
Sh2-11_20230707_OSC1.jpg
Sharpless 11 - The War and Peace Nebula in Scorpius221 viewsHII region in Scorpius. Also known as Gum 66 and NGC 6357; ionised by the Pismis 24 and AH03 J1725−34.4 star clusters.
Sh2-9_20230708_v4.jpg
Sharpless 9 - Emission nebula in Scorpius219 viewsThere is also an area of reflection nebula (blue) around the star Sigma Scorpii, but the processing of this version doesn't reveal it very well. The globular cluster M4 is also in the field of view.
NGC6960_20230811_v1.jpg
NGC6960 - The Western Veil Nebula217 viewsPart of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant in Cygnus. Also known as the Witches’ Broom.
