Hi,

 

This is an image of NGC 7538. It is an emission nebula about 9,100 light years away in the constellation Cepheus. It is an active star forming region with the largest known protostar measuring about 300 times the size of our solar system. This nebula is often overlooked due its proximity to the more famous Bubble Nebula. This image was captured and processed in SHO narrowband with RGB stars blended in.

 

Thanks for looking and comments and suggestions welcomed.

Hi,

 

These are images of NGC 6995, also known as the Flying Bat nebula, in LRGB, SHO, and HOO. It is a nebula about 1,400 light years away in the constellation Cygnus. This nebula is part of the larger Veil nebula which is a supernova remnant, the debris of a massive star explosion. This nebula is part of the eastern part of the Veil Nebula. These images represent 48 hours of data taken in September and October using seven filters (LRGB, Ha , OIII, and SII).

 

Thanks for looking and comments and suggestions welcomed.
