Webb vindt 6 vrije exoplaneten in NGC 1333

And finally here comes #NGC1333 from my backyards.
NGC 1333 is a reflection nebula in #Perseus. I particularly enjoy the colors here, and especially the mix between the gas lightened by the stars and the dark nebula caused by interstellar dust.
This is a combination of 2 sessions (1st in September, 2d yesterday, after waiting for clear skies). I only had a couple hours before fog yesterday...

Latest astrophotography image! Had a streak of clear nights this week. This is 190 x 300 second images of NGC 1333 https://science.nasa.gov/ngc-1333-stellar-nursery-perseus
My first image with any serious dust in it. Quite pleased with how it has turned out. Followed. A nice walk through by Adam Block on the same object and that really helped the processing.
On to the next project!
NGC 1333 is seen in visible light as a reflection nebula, dominated by bluish hues characteristic of starlight reflected by interstellar dust. A mere 1,000 light-years distant toward the heroic constellation Perseus, it lies at the edge of a large, star-forming molecular cloud. This striking close-up spans about two full moons on the sky or just over 15 light-years at the
