NGC7000 - The North American Nebula577 viewsNarrowband image of an H-II emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus; only part of the nebula is visible since it is too large to fit entirely in the field of view of the telescope. 2,590 light-years distant and 90 light-years across.

Sharpless2-275 - The Rosette Nebula577 viewsHII region in the constellation Monoceros; distance 5,200 light-years from Earth. Open cluster NGC2244, in the doughnut hole, provides the energy that makes the nebula glow.

The Sun sets in the weeds576 viewsThe still-partially-eclipsed sun is being increasingly obscured by tree branches on a distant hillside - but they look more like weeds in this view.
SolarEclipse-20060329-459.jpg
Totality 2576 viewsIf you look closely, a prominence can be seen at approximately 9 o'clock on the disk of the eclipsed Sun.
M20_20230718_OSC2.jpg
M8, the Lagoon Nebula, and M20, the Trifid Nebula576 viewsTwo jewels of the summer sky captured in the same frame with a bridge of nebullosity between them.

About 4 minutes from Second Contact575 viewsThe Moon is rapidly overtaking the Sun.
IC2118-20231111-NBZ_v1.JPG
IC2118, the Witch Hunt Nebula575 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.

Pre-Totality 2574 viewsAnd here face down beneath the sun
And here upon earth’s noonward height
To feel the always coming on
The always rising of the night:

M106-20170420.jpg
Messier 106 and companions573 viewsThe large spiral galaxy at left is M106, lying at a distance of 22 to 25 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici. A myriad of other galaxies are in the frame, of which the two most prominent are NGC 4248 (closest to M106) and NGC 4217 (disk at right).
