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.Nov 17, 2023

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.Nov 17, 2023
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.Nov 17, 2023
