NGC6992 - The Eastern Veil Nebula2 viewsPart of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant in Cygnus. Also known as the Network Nebula.
Sh2-132_20220827_RRGB1.jpg
SH2-132, The Lion Nebula2 viewsEmission nebula in the constellation Cepheus, near the border with Lacerta; about 10,400 light-years away..
NGC6334_20230714_OSC1.jpg
NGC6334 - Cat's Paw Nebula2 viewsAn emission nebula and star-forming region in the constellation Scorpius; distance from Earth is about 5500 light-years. Also known as Gum 64 or the Bear Claw Nebula.
IC5146_20230919_NBZ_v1.jpg
IC5146 - The Cocoon Nebula2 viewsEmission/reflection nebula in Cygnus, surrounded by dark nebula Barnard 168 (B168) which also appears as a trail behind the Cocoon
Sh2-171_20230924_NBZ_v1~0.jpg
NGC 7822 - Star-forming region in Cepheus2 viewsIncludes the emission nebula Sharpless 171 and the star cluster Berkeley 59. Around 3000 light-years from Earth.
IC1805_20231020_NBZ_v1.JPG
The Heart Nebula1 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.
IC1848_20231021_RRBG_v2.JPG
Westerhout 5, The Soul Nebula1 viewsEmission nebula in Cassiopeia, 7500 light-years away. Also known as Sharpless 2-199, LBN 667 and IC 1848, although the last is properly the designation of a star cluster within the nebula. Eastern neighbor of the Heart Nebula.
IC2118-20231111-NBZ_v1.JPG
IC2118, the Witch Hunt Nebula2 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.
M1-20131228.jpg
M1 - The Crab Nebula10 viewsRemnant of a supernova observed by the Chinese in 1054 AD. Found in the constellation Taurus, about 6500 light-years from Earth.

M1 - The Crab Nebula, narrowband version5 viewsA Hubble palette rendition of the remnant of the supernova seen by Chinese astronomers in 1054 CE.
M8-LRGB-20120624_85.jpg
M8, The Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius16 viewsAn emission nebula lying 4000-6000 years from Earth. Also designated NGC 6523. An HII star-forming region. Contains the open cluster NGC 6530.
M16-LRGB-PS-201701282011.jpg
Messier 16 - The Eagle Nebula11 viewsAn open cluster of stars as well as a diffuse emission nebula. Source of the famous "Pillars of Creation" image produced by the Hubble Space Telescope. About 7000 light-years distant.
