Some astroimages strike you like a piece of fine art. Such is the case with this one by Tony Hallas, which shows the extremely faint nebula Sharpless 2–126 in Lacerta. Cosmic landscapes abound.

It’s been a while since i tried a nebula - not ideal targets for high resolution, short duration exposures but you can still put together pleasing #astroimages - i actually went out to look for Cygnus-X1 but lingered in the area 🤷🏻‍♂️ - #Sh2-101 #TulipNebula #astronomy #astro #EAA

We see the Veil Nebula, a small part of a vast ancient remnant of an exploded star, still glowing with colorful emissions from hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur atoms.

I took this last October and finally got around to processing this image. The images were taken over three sessions. Total exposure was about 10 hours. (332x2min exp).

This is the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), half size of our galaxy.

Beautiful image by Robert Fesen & collaborators showing a Wolf-Rayet star (WR8) -- a massive star violently letting go its outer layer (blue) against a background of glowing gas.

Beautiful composite image by #RobertGendler of galaxy M83, 12 million lightyears away. The red regions are nebulae, where gas clouds are glowing with the energy of recently-formed baby stars within them.

Beautiful new infrared image of "star-death" nebula NGC1514 with the #JamesWebb telescope. The dying star in the center is actually a pair of stars that orbit each other in 9 years; the #nebula is hourglass shaped. #astronomy #astroedu #NASA #JWST #space #spacephotography #astroimages #spaceimages

These astroimages hypnotize me, particularly when I zoom in on them. Look at the texture and detail uniquely presented in each of the three.

Best thing these days is to look away from the events on this planet and into the past 12 m yrs.

This image of M81 (Bode's Galaxy) - centre and M82 (The Cigar Galaxy) - right took 7.5 hours over 3 nights from just outside the middle of London.

To stop me ranting about the state of the modern world:

This is M33 imaged about 12 miles from the centre of London (Bortle 7 since you are desperate to know) - 6.5 hours over 3 nights.

It is classical "Roll-Off-Roof-Obervatory". It looks like a garden house, but the entire roof is on rails. You roll the roof off and turn the equpiment on and you are ready to go. I designed the Building in Maya and built it myself.

The Embryo Nebula in Perseus imaged through the light pollution of the outskirts of London (Bortle 7).

A reflection nebula in Perseus?

Heres a treat of astroimages taken on the weekend before new years from Balochistan!

Telescope: Celestron 8 edge HD
Camera: ASI 294mc, Celestron OAG, ASI 120mm mini

It's that very special time of the year.

Merry M31 time to everybody.

But don't we have only one vantage point wrt astroimages? 😁

Sent this to my young niece last night, and she asked the best question: "which one is the furthest?"

Depth is really hard to distinguish in astroimages, but the objects give us depth.

Comet - our Solar System (local suburb)

Stars - our Galaxy (country)

Galaxies (other countries, across oceans)
