LBN438 is a galactic dark nebula in Lacerta. It is the molecular cloud shown in the middle of the image. Above, a nice spiral galaxy, PGC 69439 can be seen.The bright red nebula on the right side is SH2-126, a large emission nebula. LBN440, LBN435 are also in view. Image taken on September 24-26 2020 at the remote observatory at the E-Eye site in Spain.

The image is composed of 296*180 seconds with a ZWO ASI-2600MC using a Takahashi Epsilon 180 ED Astrograph, riding on a Paramount ME II.

Image Description and Details :

The Constellation Cepheus is often in the shadow of the Hydrogen rich constellation of Cygnus but within its boundaries it really has a little bit of everything, such a varied bunch of targets. However, there is clearly a crowning jewel among the many rough diamonds. That is IC1396, the Elephant Trunk nebula. It’s a nebula that gives great color and contrast, with great areas of dust and the magnificent detail of the central trunk reaching in to the well of Oxygen that lies at its center.

NGC 1333 Embryo Nebula in the constellation Perseus.
The NGC 1333 reflection nebula and its associated dark cloud L1450 (also known as Barnard 205) are located at the northern end of a degree-long, north-south ridge of CO emission in the Perseus region at the west side of a large cavity in the Perseus molecular cloud.

The monkey head nebula - ngc2174 is an emission nebula located in the Orion Constellation. It is associated with the stellar cluster ngc2175. It was given this name as you can see well from the photo, the face of a monkey.
I decided to process this photo with the Hubble Palette technique, and therefore, with fake colors to highlight better the emission areas of the various chemical elements that compose the nebula.

This is a very interesting area in the Taurus Molecular Cloud featuring many dark and reflection nebulae. The main subject in the center is Barnard 7 (the dark nebula) and LBN 782 (the blue reflection nebula). To the left side is vdB 27, illuminated by RY Tauri, a young variable star. To the right is another reflection nebula illuminated by variable star CW Tauri. Peeking through the dust 186 million light years away is the galaxy IC 359, in the bottom right. All in all, a lot of different things to see here!

The young open star cluster NGC 7129 is embedded in the bluish reflection nebula vdB 146. Due to it's shape the reflection nebula is called "Rosebud Nebula" and is located in the constellation Cepheus. The young stars have blown a large, oddly shaped bubble in the molecular cloud that once surrounded them at their birth. The rosy pink color comes from glowing dust grains on the surface of the bubble being heated by the intense light from the young stars within. Also some Herbig-Haro objects can be identified in the reflection nebula. Their shape and pinkish red color is characteristic of glowing hydrogen gas shocked by jets streaming away from newborn stars.


NGC 7142 is an open cluster about 6,200 light-years away. With an estimated age of 4.5 billion years, he is one of the oldest known open clusters.

The fine Halpha filaments on the left side of the image are part of the supernova remnant SNR 110.3 + 11.3.

This target was what got me into Astrophotography many years ago but I could never do it justice in the UK with the light-polluted skies in Birmingham so now living in Spain and running a Remote Telescope Hosting site I have been able to collect better quality data and do it more justice.

The Pelican Nebula (IC 5067 and IC 5070) is an emission nebula located approximately 2,000 light years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. It is very wide in the sky, making approximately 2.5 times the diameter of the Moon.

Image Description and Details : Here is my first object captured in 2020.
This is the dolphin head nebula, Cataloged Sharpless SH 2-308, it is about 5,200 light-years from home towards the constellation of the Big Dog.
The massive star (Wolf-Rayet type) that created the bubble is the bright star located near the center of the nebula.
It generates a powerful radiation which drives out the gas around thus creating a giant bubble.
