CG 10 - Cometary Globule in Puppis- LHaRGB v1

Continuing with the CGs, this one took really loooong, from mid January to mid February. Alas, CG season is also rain season in Namibia. Good for the country, but not so much for astrophotography.

Part of the ever growing ...

CG 13 - Cometary Globule in Puppis- LHaRGB v1

Has been quite a while since I last imaged this large, beautiful spiral galaxy in the southern constellation of Sculptor, NGC 253 known as the Silver Dollar Galaxy, Silber Coin Galaxy, or just Sculptor Galaxy.
