NGC 7822 - Star-forming region in Cepheus406 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 Nebula471 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 Nebula385 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 Nebula455 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.
