Australian Chestnut (Castanospermum australe) seeds and embryo
Food Source: Historically, Indigenous Australians processed the seeds by roasting, cutting, and leaching them in running water for several days to remove toxins. Once processed, they are ground into flour to make a type of damper (bread).
Medicinal Research: The seeds contain a compound called castanospermine, which has been investigated for its potential as an HIV-1 inhibitor and for treating post-prandial hyperglycemia in diabetic patients.
NGC 1333, The Embryo Nebula
My goal was to compare this photograph taken with a monochrome camera and LRGB filters to one I shot a while back using the same telescope but with a color camera. In theory the monochrome version should be sharper and more colorful but hardware differences, shooting conditions, advances in software and other variables make an exact comparison difficult. Happily, exposure times were similar at about 5 hours for each image. The new version IS sharper and more colorful, but again technological advances as well as my ongoing experience may account for some of the differences between the two photos.
As for the target itself, I often find the popular names of deep space objects puzzling but in the case of the Embryo Nebula the moniker is spot on. Notice the two red clusters of nascent stars still embedded in their birth clouds. Most of the stars in these clusters are pre-main sequence meaning they have not yet begun to glow with light generated by nuclear fusion.
The orange and blue sections are REFLECTION nebulae where large stars illuminate surrounding clouds of gas. The orange areas define regions where hydrogen gasses are present while the blue section delineates vapors of ionized oxygen lit by the large central star.
Embryo SIM - a lighthouse with a surprising interior, and some small shops rising out the water (and beautiful kimonos). "Il y a des magasins principals d'un Jour et de tomoto,."

Imaged in the Hydrogen alpha wavelength this is an image of the Soul Nebula, sometimes referred to as the embryo nebula - hopefully for obvious reasons!
Catalogued variously as Westerhout 5 or IC 1848, the Soul nebula is a strong emission nebula situated in the constellation of Cassiopeia.
The system is around 300 light-years across and is a site of star production, being illuminated by young stars surrounded by gas and dust.
A number of "Pillars of Creation" are visible within these, being created by winds and UV from young stars eroding surrounding dust. These pillars are sites of active star formation - hence the name.
Imaged with my Askar 71f refractor fitted with a focal reducer and a ZWO 1600MM camera. Thanks for looking!
