Das ist #NGC281 - der Pacman Nebel im Sternbild Kassiopeia, benannt wegen seiner Ähnlichkeit zum Videospiel-Charakter. Er befindet sich 9200 Lichtjahre entfernt von uns im Perseus Spiralarm der Milchstraße. In seinem Zentrum befindet sich #IC1590 - ein offenes Cluster junger Sterne, die das umegebende Gas zum leuchten bringen.

The Veil Nebula Complex
===================

The Veil Nebula is a large supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. The source supernova exploded between 10.000 and 20.000 years ago, and the remnants have since expanded to cover an area roughly 3 degrees in diameter (about 6 times the diameter, and 36 times the area, of the full Moon). The distance to the nebula is not precisely known, with estimates ranging from 1,400 to 2,600 light-years.

Sadr Region and Crescent Nebula
=========================

With an apparent magnitude of 2.2, Sadr is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, forming the intersection of an asterism of five stars, called the northern cross. The huge star in the center of the image is located about 1.800 lightyears from earth.

The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) in the top right is a cosmic bubble of gas and dust, created by the stellar wind of the Wolf-Rayet star WR 136. The nebula is located at a distance of about 5.000 lightyears from earth.

Das ist der Iris Nebel (NGC 7023) in der Cepheus Konstellation, etwa 1300 Lichtjahre von uns entfernt. Es handelt sich hier um einen Reflexionsnebel, er leuchtet also nicht selbst, sondern reflektiert das Licht des Sterns SAO 10158 in seinem Zentrum. Umgeben wird der Nebel von dunklen Wolken interstellarem Staubs.

The Iris Nebula
===========

The Iris Nebula, located at a distance of about 1.300 light-years from earth in the constellation Cepheus, is a reflection nebula, which means that it shines by reflecting the light of the star SAO 19158, which is located in the center of the nebula. It’s also known as the “Flower Nebula” due to its shape and colors. The nebula is surrounded by dark clouds of interstellar dust, which give it its distinctive shape.

Scope: Askar 103APO
Lens: Askar 0.6x Reducer
Camera: Canon EOS 6Da
Filter: Svbony UV/IR Cut
Mount: Skywatcher AZ-EQ5 GT
Guiding: Svbony SV165 Guide Scope with ZWO ASI 224MC
Controller: ZWO ASIAir Pro

Integration time: 4hrs 10min

Eagle and Omega Nebulae
####################

After months of short and cloudy nights, it finally became clear and I was able to capture one more of my bucket list objects.

This is a widefield image of the Eagle and Omega Nebulae in the constellation Serpens. The Eagle Nebula (M 16) is the bright nebula in the center, while the Omega Nebula (M 17) is the bright nebula on the right side of the image. The Eagle Nebula is located at a distance of about 7.000 light-years from earth, while the Omega Nebula is located at a distance of about 5.500 light-years from earth.

If you zoom close enough to the center of the Eagle Nebula, you will find the famous Pillars of Creation, which are a set of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust, about 6.500-7.000 light-years away from earth.

I hope you like it!

Nach monatelanger Auszeit ergab sich endlich eine klare Nacht und wenngleich von meinen 4h Daten nur etwas über 1h verwertbar waren, konnte ich doch endlich ein weiteres Objekt von meiner Wunschliste aufnehmen - den Adlernebel nebst Omega Nebel und Umgebung.

Im Zentrum des Adlernebels erkennt man die berühmten Säulen der Schöpfung.

Weiterhin möchte ich euch gern noch ein eher selten abgelichtetes Objekt zeigen - den Löwennebel im Cepheus.

Dieser sehr schwache Emissionsnebel liegt etwa 10.000 Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt und wird vornehmlich von zwei Wolf-Rayet Sternen angeregt.

Dazu möchte ich euch gern noch zwei weitere Varianten zeigen, weil ich mich nicht wirklich für eine entscheiden kann. Hierbei handelt es sich um die "klassische" RGB Variante, mit und ohne Sterne.

Gerade bei letzterer kann man besonders gut die feinen Strukturen in den Nebeln erkennen.

Welche gefällt euch mehr?
