Frank AdlerThe Lion Nebula ============ The Lion Nebula, also known as Sh2-132, is a faint emission nebula in the constellation Cepheus. It is located at a distance of about 10.000 light-years from Earth. This actually is my second try for this rarely shown target, the first one was pretty much invisible behind those beautiful auroras a few days ago. This time I managed to get a bit more data and I'm quite happy with the result. The Lion Nebula is a very faint object and it's not easy to capture it from my light-polluted backyard. A couple more hours of exposure time might reveal some more detail though. I hope you like it!

Frank AdlerThe North America and Pelican Nebulae ============================== Last night finally was clear again and I had the chance to capture one of my long-time bucket list targets - the north america nebula (left area) and the pelican nebula (top center). The huge dark area in the center also is called the "great wall" and is a huge dust lane that separates the two nebulae. With this one, I'd like to show you multiple versions processed from the same dataset. The first one is a narrowband version in HOO palette, the second one is a "natural" RGB color version and the third one is RGB but without the stars. For this particular target, I'm really torn on which version I like most. Specially the starless one is really interesting because it shows so much detail in the nebula core. Do you have a favorite version? Let me know in the comments!

Frank AdlerThe Heart and Soul Nebulae ===================== Located approximately 6000 light years away from Earth, these two nebulae form a vast star-forming complex, spanning around 300 light years in diameter. As part of the Perseus arm of the Milky Way galaxy, they are rich in interstellar gas and dust, providing a fertile ground for star formation. The image is a HOO composition, mapping emissions of hydrogen alpha gas to the red channel, while oxygen III emissions are mapped to the green and blue channels. This results in a colorful representation of the nebulae's different emissions. At the center of the Heart Nebula (IC 1805), an open cluster of young stars, known as Melotte 15, is located. These stars, some of them up to 50 times more massive than our sun, are ionizing the surrounding gas, causing it to glow. The nebulae's proximity to Earth and their richness in star-forming material make them an exciting target for astronomers studying the processes of star birth and evolution.

Frank AdlerThe Great Orion Nebula ================== M42 is special for me. It's the reason I started my astronomy journey and it's my favorite object in the winter night sky. I keep coming back to it again and again and it became a nice benchmark of my skills in astrophotography. Wanna know more?
