IC1848 - The Soul Nebula. I am officially blown away by the detail in my first real SHO image. This is just 30 mins on each filter. I can't wait to see the results when I get several hours on it. ASI2600 MM, Esprit 100ED, Altair 3nm Ha, Sii and Oiii filters. #astronomy #astrophotography

Took this image 27 days ago on Christmas Eve (seems so long ago now!). The Cone Nebula and Christmas Tree Cluster (NGC 2264). 96 images at 5 minutes each (8 hours) in Sulphur II, Hydrogen Alpha and Oxygen III. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy

The Wolf's Cave Nebula (VdB152) is around 1,400 light years away in the constellation of Cepheus. This is 6.25 hours of data from 2023 re-processed in HaRGB. Esprit 100ED, ASI2924 MC Pro, L-ultimate and UV/IR cut filters. #astronomy #astrophotography

I disagree with those who, in the midst of the storm, are saying that β€˜we all are on our own’ - It isn’t true. It can’t be true. Need proof? The Butterfly Nebula contains millions of stars and is literally β€˜astronomically nextdoor’ πŸ™πŸ½πŸ˜Œ #astronomy #hubble #NASA #ESA #photography #togetherness

The Butterfly Nebula from Hubble

Hubble Space Telescope

Stars can make beautiful patterns as they age -- sometimes similar to flowers or insects. NGC 6302, the Butterfly Nebula, is a notable example. Though its gaseous wingspan covers over 3 light-years and its estimated surface temperature exceeds 200,000 degrees C, the aging central star of NGC 6302, the featured planetary nebula, has become exceptionally hot, shining brightly in visible and ultraviolet light but hidden from direct view by a dense torus of dust. This sharp close-up was recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope and is processed here to show off remarkable details of the complex planetary nebula, highlighting in particular light emitted by oxygen (shown as blue), hydrogen (green), and nitrogen (red). NGC 6302 lies about 3,500 light-years away in the arachnologically correct constellation of the Scorpion (Scorpius).
