NGC6302_20160624_LRGB2.jpg
NGC6302 - The Bug Nebula762 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.

NGC6992 - The Eastern Veil Nebula761 viewsPart of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant in Cygnus. Also known as the Network Nebula.

Sharpless 2-155 - The Cave Nebula759 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.

Post-Totality 1758 viewsThe Moving Finger writes, and having writ,
Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.

Seven minutes after Third Contact754 viewsC3 + 7:01
SolarEclipse-20021204-DX13A.jpg
First Contact plus ~20 minutes749 viewsThe Moon is taking a bigger bite out of the Sun.
SolarEclipse-20170821-3813.jpg
Third Contact plus 41 Minutes744 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.
NGC7709-LRGB-20190830-f5.jpg
NGC 7009 - The Saturn Nebula743 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.
IC417_20231214_NBZ1.JPG
IC417 and NGC1931 - The Spider and the Fly741 viewsEmission nebula in Auriga, 100 light-years across and 10,000 light-years from Earth. The Fly (NGC1931) is about 7,000 light-years away.
M1-HOS-20201205-v3.jpg
M1 - The Crab Nebula, narrowband version739 viewsA Hubble palette rendition of the remnant of the supernova seen by Chinese astronomers in 1054 CE.
IC4592_20240601_RASA11_ASI2600_NBZ2.JPG
IC4592, the Blue Horsehead Nebula736 viewsReflection Nebula in Scorpius, lit up by Nu Scorpii. About 400 light-years away.
