Third Contact plus 41 Minutes781 viewsThis was my last photo of the 2017 eclipse. The Eclipse Nazis (aka site monitors), not understanding that eclipses don't end at Third Contact, were harassing us to pack up our gear and clear off the site.

NGC6992 - The Eastern Veil Nebula775 viewsPart of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant in Cygnus. Also known as the Network Nebula.

NGC6302 - The Bug Nebula774 viewsA bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation Scorpius. Also known as the Butterfly Nebula, but a larger telescope than the 5" refractor used to capture this image is needed to show the pattern clearly; it shows up well in Hubble images. In this image, the nebula looks more like a bug squashed on a car windshield.

NGC 7009 - The Saturn Nebula772 viewsA planetary nebula in the constellation Aquarius, at a distance of about 5000 light-years, with a superficial resemblance to the planet Saturn. This image does not do it justice, because a much larger telescope is required to resolve the complex internal structure of the nebula.

Sharpless 2-155 - The Cave Nebula772 viewsA narrowband (Hubble Palette) view of an emission nebula in Cepheus; part of an ionized HII region within a larger complex containing emission, reflection and dark nebulae. About 2400 light-years away, on the edge of the Cepheus molecular cloud.

NGC 6520 and Barnard 86767 viewsNGC 6520 is an open cluster in the constellation Sagittarius, consisting of about 25 stars of magnitude 9-12. At its western edge (to the right in this image) lies the dark nebula Barnard 86 (B86).
