The Corona Australis Molecular Cloud is a striking region with rich dust clouds and reflective nebulae, featuring an array of intricate colors and structures. I aimed to capture the depth and subtleties of this lesser-known region by employing an advanced post-processing technique, which brings out the faint details in the surrounding interstellar dust and highlights the blue reflection nebulae.
NGC 281, often referred to as the Pacman Nebula due to its resemblance to the character from the video game "Pac-Man," is an emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies about 9,200 light-years away from Earth. NGC 281 is part of the Milky Way galaxy and is a region of active star formation.

This is just a single 1 minute exposure of the Crescent Nebula at 135mm focal length. If this is how much signal comes from a single image I cant wait to see what several hours gets!
As the name implies, this reflection nebula associated with the star Rigel looks suspiciously like a fairytale witch. Formally known as IC 2118 in the constellation Orion, the Witch Head Nebula glows primarily by light reflected from the star Rigel. The color of this very blue nebula is caused not only by blue color of its star, but also because the dust grains reflect blue light more efficiently than red.
