Due to the bad weather, I decided to invest some time in a new, improved version of the „Jellyfish Nebula“ (IC 443) in Gemini. I captured this fantastic nebula 7 months ago, and it’s still one of my favorite objects in the sky! Hope you like it!

Image Description and Details : As soon as I saw a photo of this nebula on the internet, I immediately knew I also wanted to photograph it. I went up to a nearby mountain pass with dark skies that same night and shot the nebula for as long as my battery allowed me. I was very pleased that in addition to the Eagle, I was also able to photograph a large amount of the nearby dust clouds.

Image Description and Details : The Spitzkoppe, or the "Matterhorn of Namibia", is a group of bald granite peaks located between Usakos and Swakopmund in the Namib desert of Namibia. More than 120 million years old, the highest outcrop rises about 1700mtrs above sea level. Many examples of Bushmen artwork can be seen painted on the rocks in the Spitzkoppe area though many of them have been destroyed. The Spitzkoppe Mountains were also the filming location for 2001: A Space Odyssey in the "Dawn of Man" sequences.

The rock arch seen here is also a well-known formation and has featured in many a composition and to photograph the arch, one has to camp inside the reserve as the gates are closed at night. Behind and to the left of the arch is the Spitzkoppe peak while to the right I think is the Pontos range. In the sky we can see the North American nebula and the Sadr region showing off their hydrogen gases and the Andromeda Galaxy puts in an appearance on the right, in an orientation we Northerners are not used to seeing….

Image Description and Details : ic 348 ir flying ghost nebula
Questa distesa cosmica di polvere, gas e stelle copre circa 3 gradi del cielo nell'eroica costellazione del Perseo.
Si individua pochissimi primi d'arco a sud della stella ο Persei, nell'area di cielo in cui si incontrano le costellazioni di Perseo, Ariete e Toro; è poco nota nell'ambito dell'osservazione amatoriale a causa della vicina presenza delle Pleiadi e della ben più grande Nebulosa California, sebbene sia più luminosa delle nebulose associate alle Pleiadi.
In alto a sinistra nello splendido paesaggio del cielo c'è l'affascinante giovane ammasso stellare IC 348 e la vicina Flying Ghost Nebula alla periferia della gigantesca nuvola molecolare di Perseo, a circa 850 anni luce di distanza. Altre nebulose polverose sono sparse nel campo visivo, insieme al debole bagliore rossastro dell'idrogeno gassoso.
In effetti, la polvere cosmica tende a nascondere le stelle di nuova formazione e i giovani oggetti stellari o protostelle da telescopi ottici indiscreti. Crollo a causa dell'auto-gravità, le protostelle si formano dai densi nuclei incorporati nella polverosa nuvola molecolare. Alla distanza stimata della nuvola molecolare, questo campo visivo si estenderebbe per quasi 35 anni luce

Image Description and Details : NGC 1491 (also known as the Fossil Footprint, LBN 704 or Sh2-206) is a bright nebula discovered by William Herschel in 1790, in the constellation of Perseus. It is glowing deep red because the hydrogen gas in the nebula is energized by hot, massive stars embedded within. These stars emit copious amounts of ultraviolet (UV) light that causes the gas to glow.
Here is in Hubble palette rendition.

Image Description and Details :

IC63 THE GHOST OF CASSIOPEE

Very pale and indistinct nebula, it is nicknamed "The Ghost". It's a difficult object to see because it's drowned under a flood of stars. Only large light instruments allow you to see this nebula that accompanies IC 59, even less distinct.

Image Description and Details : The bartender asks, "Why the weird face?"

This bizarre collection of objects in the Auriga constellation looks like the face of the alien Xenu to me. But when I first discovered that this framing was possible, I really liked it.

In the upper left, the big orange thing is IC 405, the Flaming Star nebula. Just to its right, the blue-purple thing is IC 410, the Tadpoles (you can see the two small cometary globules that give it its name). Directly below the tadpoles, the small orange spot is IC 417, the Spider Nebula. Below and to the right of the Spider is NGC 1931, the Fly. And I've personally dubbed the red object to their left "The Gripping Hand" after the sequel to Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle's incomparable SF novel The Mote in God's Eye (the sequel was far less engaging). The open cluster of stars near bottom center is Messier 38, the Starfish Cluster.

Deceptively, the Flaming Star is only 1,500 light years away, but the Tadpoles are 12,000 light years away. M38 is about 3,500 light years away and the Spider is about 10,000 light years distant. These disparate distances account for the varied chemical compositions and hence the colors they produce.

Image Description and Details : Today the aurora parameters had some life to them, but the skies here were mostly cloudy. I felt a bit sick due to my last nights adventures in the wilderness during a snowstorm, but I still decided to try my luck if the weather would get better even for a moment. I walked to the nearby waterfall which was now surrounded with fresh snow. After waiting a hour or two the skies got clear and you could see some red auroras dancing over the waterfall near the lake Tsahkaljärvi in Finland.

Image Description and Details : We are pleased to present you today the first ever image of a candidate planetary nebula unknown to this day.
Team members Xavier Strottner and Marcel Drechsler discovered this object in June 2020.
This item has been analysed and added to the StDr catalogue by Pascal Le Dû.
StDr 99 is also registered in the PN Global Base managed by Professor Quentin Parker of the University of Hong Kong.
StDr 99 is located in the constellation Cepheus and has an apparent size of 17 arc minutes.
This nebula is so weak, especially [OIII], that nearly 200 hours of exposure were required.
Many thanks to Sven Eklund for working with me in imaging this challenging object, and to Marcel for processing the image.
