M1 - The Crab Nebula, narrowband version503 viewsA Hubble palette rendition of the remnant of the supernova seen by Chinese astronomers in 1054 CE.

Gum 85/Sh2-54 - nebula in Serpens502 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.
IC434_LHaRGB1_20181103.jpg
The Horsehead Nebula in Orion501 viewsThe Horsehead Nebula, Barnard 33, is a dark nebula, silhouetted against the bright emission nebula IC 434. The large blue object to the left of IC 434 is a reflection nebula, NGC 2023. They are all found near the star Alnitak, the easternmost star in Orion's belt, which is off the frame to the right, and are 1400 light-years from Earth.
NGC281_20180914_LHaRGB3~1.jpg
NGC281 - The Pac-Man Nebula501 viewsA bright emission nebula, part of an H II region in the constellation Cassiopeia; known as the Pac-Man Nebula because of its resemblance to the video game character that flits around ruthlessly and insatiably chomping up defenseless, pathetic little dots.
NGC1499_20220828_NB3~1.jpg
NGC1499 - The California Nebula, narrowband version499 viewsThis bizarre rendition of the California Nebula was the result of an unrepeatable experiment in mapping H-alpha and O-III to various channels in a mad orgy of improvisation.

Sh2-290 - Planetary Nebula in Cancer498 viewsAlso known as Abell 31 and PK 219+31.1. Ancient planetary nebula, about 2000 light-years away, one of the largest in the sky but very dim.

Sharpless2-13497 viewsEmission nebula in Scorpius.
IC1848-20181014.jpg
IC 1848 - The Soul Nebula496 viewsAn emission nebula in Cassiopeia, eastern neighbor of the Heart Nebula, IC 1805. About 6,500 light-years away, it spans 100 light-years, and is too big at that distance to fit into my telescope's field of view, so only part of it is seen here.
NGC2359_20220123_LRGB1D.jpg
NGC 2359 - Thor's Helmet496 viewsAn emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major; about 12,000 light-years away. Consists largely of interstellar gas swept up by the central star, and partly of material from the star itself, which is an extremely hot, massive Wolf-Rayet star in a short-lived pre-supernova stage.
