The bright Norma Starcloud is at bottom with the rich star cluster NGC 6067 ermbedded in it. The large red nebula at top is NGC 6188, aka RCW 108, that surrounds a loose star cluster NGC 6193. The nebula has become known as the Fighting Dragons of Ara, from its apperance in close-up images. To the right of the large nebula is the small double-lobed planetary nebula NGC 6164, though it is tiny at this image scale.14249328 - This is the complex of nebulosity around the star Gamma Cygni, aka Sadr, in central Cygnus, and labeled IC 1318 or the Butterfly Nebula.

The blue stars of the Pleiades are surrounded by bright blue reflection nebulosity, most prominent below the lower star Merope, a bit of nebula catalogued separately as NGC 1435. The odd horizontal spike above Merope is real and is catalogued as van den Bergh 20.71469785 - The roof domes of Sultan Amir Ahmad Bathhouse, aka Qasemi Bathhouse, traditional Iranian public bathhouse, which is now a museum. Kashan, Iran.14249389 - This frames the rich area in southern Scorpius that contains the "False Comet" cluster, NGC 6231 which, along with the looser, larger clusters Ruprecht 122 and Collinder 316, appears as a hazy elongated comet to the naked eye. In 1986 Comet Halley was in this area and many mistook this deep-sky field for the comet, thus the moniker, as best I know! Photos show the nebulosity in the field, which is IC 4628, aka the Prawn Nebula. Above the nebula is the star cluster NGC 6242. To the left is NGC 6268, and above it is the larger cluster NGC NGC 6281.

Kashan, Iran.14249436 - This frames the famous Southern Cross, aka Crux, and the star clusters and nebulas in its vicinity.14249347 - This frames most of the intricate arcs and loops of the Vela Supernova Remnant (SNR), the remains of a star that exploded about 11,000 years ago. It is one of the closest SNRs to Earth, about 900 light years away. Most arcs and segments have no separate catalogue numbers, with the exception of the short straight Pencil Nebula, aka Herschel's Ray, in the lower left corner which is NGC 2736. It is the brightest segment of the Vela SNR visually in a telescope. The nebula complex is marked with lots of cyan arcs emitting oxygen III wavelengths, mixed with regions of red hydrogen-alpha emission.71469998 - A woman sits in the light from multi-colored stained-glass windows inside the 19th century Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, aka the Pink Mosque.

They are set in a region of dark clouds of interstellar dust, and framed by the red-magenta arc of the emission nebula known as Barnard's Loop, aka Sharpless 2-276. The small reflection nebula at upper left on the edge of another dark cloud is van den Bergh 62. The large star cluster left of centre on the edge of the Loop is NGC 2112.14248969 - The nearest bright star to our solar system, Alpha Centauri (aka Rigel Kentaurus) on the left and blue Beta Centauri on the right. Alpha and Beta are unrelated — Alpha is 4.2 light years away while Beta is 390 light years away. Together they are called the Pointers as they point to the Southern Cross, to avoid confusing it with the False Cross nearby. Alpha is a close double star, one of the finest for small telescopes, but it is not resolved at this image scale.14248900 - This is the showpiece nebula of the southern skies, the Carina Nebula, aka the Eta Carinae Nebula.71445927 - Abandoned and discarded neon signs in the Neon Museum aka Neon boneyard in Las Vegas, Nevada.71445921 - Double exposure of abandoned and discarded neon Lucky sign in the Neon Museum aka Neon boneyard in Las Vegas, Nevada.71445918 - Double exposure of abandoned and discarded neon Lucky sign in the Neon Museum aka Neon boneyard in Las Vegas, Nevada.71425271 - Fraternity Clubs Building aka Jolly Madison Towers with the red roof, 22 East, 38 Street, seen from the Empire State Building, Manhattan, New York, New York, USA14248507 - Kaihalulu Beach, AKA Red Sand Beach, on the Hana Coast of Maui, Hawaii.14248479 - Oregon Iris, AKA Toughleaf Iris (Iris tenax), Mount Pisgah Arboretum, Willamette Valley, Oregon.13999237 - This is a framing of the rich starfield in northern Sagittarius to southern Serpens that contains the bright Messier 24 star cloud at bottom (aka the Small Sagittarius Starcloud),the emission nebula Messier 17 aka the Swan or Omega Nebula at centre,and Messier 16 or Eagle Nebula at top.13999058 - A portrait of the Eagle (top) and Swan Nebulas,aka Messier 16 and Messier 17,on the border of Sagittarius and Serpens. M16 contains the famous "Pillars of Creation."13998842 - A porttait of the constellation of Corona Borealis,the Northern Crown,in the northern spring sky. The brightest star is Alphecca. The frame contains the yellow supergiant and variable star R Coronae Borealis,aka Variabilis Coronae,below centre.13998813 - A rich starfield in the constellation of Vulpecula the Fox,in the Milky Way,with a mix of nebulosity. At bottom is the Coathanger asterism of stars,aka Collinder 399,or Brocchi's Cluster. At top left is the emission nebula NGC 6820. Other dark nebulas from the Lynds Dark Nebula catalogue populate the field. The blue glow above the Coathanger is reflection nebulosity which does not appear to have a catlogue number. A small reflection nebula around the blue stars at right is van den Burgh 126. The small round red emission nebula at lower left is Sharpless 2-82. The yellow star at top right is An13998611 - This is a framing of an array of emission nebulas in Cygnus: the bright North America Nebula (NGC 7000) at right,and to the right of it,the Pelican Nebula (IC 5067/8). Those bright nebulas are set amid a complex of fainter nebulosity,notably the Clamshell Nebula at left,as it has become known recently,and catalogued as Sharpless 2-119. At bottom right is the curving Cygnus Arc,aka IC 5068. The small star cluster NGC 7044 is below the Clamshell.13900479 - The Coma Berenices star cluster, aka Mel 111, with star glows added from haze in the sky to accentuate the star colours. The edge-on galaxy NGC 4565 (the Needle Galaxy) is at lower left; the spiral galaxy NGC 4559 is at upper left. Several other smaller NGC galaxies are in the field, which is similar to the field of view of binoculars.13900215 - The Andromeda Galaxy (aka Messier 31) and the stars of Andromeda rising over moonlit formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. Illumination is from the waxing gibbous Moon, low in the southwest so it is providing a warm light. This is an example of a "deepscape" - a nightcape with a telephoto lens to also record a deep-sky object in the frame above the horizon. However, moonlight prevents the galaxy from showing up as well as it would in a dark sky.13899799 - This is a framing of the rich array of nebulas in central Auriga. The complex of star cluster Stock 8 and IC 417 is at upper left. The large nebula at lower centre is IC 410 with the star cluster NGC 1893 embedded in it. The large nebula at right is IC 405, aka the Flaming Star Nebula, with a mix of red emission and blue reflection nebulosity.13899593 - This is a framing of the rich array of nebulas in central Auriga. The complex of star cluster Stock 8 and IC 417 is at upper left. The large nebula at lower centre is IC 410 with the star cluster NGC 1893 embedded in it. The large nebula at right is IC 405, aka the Flaming Star Nebula, with a mix of red emission and blue reflection nebulosity.13898153 - The Coathanger star cluster and asterism in the Milky Way in southern Cygnus, aka Collinder 399 or Brocchi’s Cluster. The field is similar to what a pair of large binoculars would show. I shot this from home Nov. 25, 2019.13897397 - The summer Milky Way overhead and through the Summer Triangle stars in July, looking up through trees in Banff National Park at Herbert Lake. Deneb is at top left, Vega at top right, and Altair is at bottom. The bright Cygnus star cloud is obvious. As are the dark lanes in the Milky Way, including the Funnel Nebula at top, aka Le Gentil 3.13848801 - Hvar Town at sunset taken from the Spanish Fort, Hvar Island, Croatia, Europe. This photo of Hvar Town and Harbor was taken at sunset from the Spanish Fort, aka Fortica or Hvar Spanish Fortress. From its position high up on a hill above Hvar Town, it provides the best views over Hvar Town and Island. It is easily worth the walk up to the Spanish Fort, especially at sunset.next page
