SH 2-275 / Rosette Nebula
The Rosette Nebula, also known as Caldwell 49, is a large HII region located some 4700 light-years from the solar system. It was discovered by the American astronomer Lewis Swift in 1865.
The mass of the Rosette Nebula is estimated to be about 10 000 times the mass of the Sun

My new 'best shot' of the Andromeda Galaxy, Messier 31, the largest galaxy in the Local Group. Also shown are its brightest companion galaxies, the dwarf elliptical galaxy Messier 110 above it, and Messier 32, the largest fuzzball dwarf galaxy at 4 o-clock from Messier 31's center. This image was assembled from four hours of 2-minute exposures captured on September 20th, 2020. (Messier 31 has 10 known dwarf satellite galaxies, our Milky Way galaxy has 23 of them since they are much closer to us therefore easier to find and observe.)
This image of NGC2359 Thor’s Helmet Nebula was captured in narrowbands at Fongky Observatory on 06-02-2021 and 07-02-2021. The false color image was produced by assigning the ionized hydrogen H-α (Ha) data to the red channel, doubly ionized oxygen (OIII) to the green channel, and ionized hydrogen H-β (Hb) to the blue channel. In normal broadband RGB, the NGC2359 is mainly in red and blue.
The progenitor star that ionizing the surrounding gases is a Wolf–Rayet (WR) star WR 7 or HD 56926. WR stars are at their late stage of stellar evolution, fusing helium instead of hydrogen in their cores, and exhausted all their remaining hydrogen at their shells. In NGC2359 Thor’s Helmet Nebula, strong stellar wind pushes ejected materials away from the star at the speed of ∼15 to 30 km/s. The expanding materials shocked molecular clouds nearby to form a bubble around the progenitor star. The same mechanism can be seen in other objects such as the NGC7635 Bubble Nebula (www.flickr.com/photos/fongky/48685888636/in/album-7215766...). Instead, the bubble around WR star is not dominated by hydrogen. This kind of nebula is also known as Wolf-Rayet nebula.
The NGC2359 Thor’s Helmet Nebula is about 3.5 to 6.9 kiloparsec from Earth. The size of the bubble is estimated to be 70×37 parsec.

Western Veil Nebula (Caldwell 34), 06/25/2020
This object is part of a super nova remnant from a star that was 20 times more massive than the sun. When that star blew up some 10,000 to 20,000 years ago, it left behind ionized gas and dust that has expanded to cover an area of the sky roughly 6 times the diameter of the Moon. This picture is only one small part of that explosion.
This night was kind of a last-minute decision. I looked outside and saw clear skies so I quickly setup the gear. It was my first night using some new toys, a new light pollution filter and an Asiair Pro computer. The new equipment worked great but I did have a few issues. I had my gain set to 200 for some reason and the polar alignment was crap. But I think I salvaged the data and the image turned out pretty good.

James Hamilton - Uncropped (2023) / Без фильтров
beatfilmfestival.ru/movies/uncropped
в Ленфильме и не только очередное суперкино 🔥 о жизни нью-йоркского (и не только) фотографа Джеймса Хэмилтона, удивительный человек-легенда, Forrest Gump наших дней можно сказать
мне очень понравилось, узнавал многие моменты и персонажей (упоминается очень много артистов и музыкантов), обязательно пересмотрю (и там очень высокая плотность информации, все люди если и говорят, то по делу, хотя много и обалденных атмосферных кадров), я видел его фотки сто раз, но как-то не акцентировал что их автор - James Hamilton, очень скромный дядя (как я практически), среди многих его фанатов и режиссёр Уэс Андерсон (Королевство полной луны, 2012) он и спродюсировал этот фильм
рекомендую посмотреть!
кстати, вся эта атмосфера лампового и не очень Нью-Йорка неуловима напомнила работы другого талантливого автора (Jem Cohen), который однажды приехал в СПб чтобы представить свои работы на фесте «Послание к человеку» (2018), они даже частично пересекаются по героям своих работ (в первую очередь Patti Smith) запомнился его микрошедевр Long for the City (Patti Smith in New York) (Super 8 film, 10 min., 2008) Directed by Jem Cohen, писал про этот фест тоже:

Uncropped Light: The Living Spiral of the Triangulum
Seen nearly 2.7 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum, the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) is the third-largest member of our Local Group, following the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way. Unlike its larger companions, M33 lacks a prominent central bulge, instead displaying loosely wound spiral arms rich with glowing H II regions and active star formation. Among these stellar nurseries lies NGC 604, one of the most luminous star-forming regions in the Local Group.
Captured at Desert Bloom Observatory using an EdgeHD 8-inch telescope with a 0.7× Celestron reducer, this image remains intentionally uncropped. Preserving the full frame reveals the galaxy’s natural scale and delicate outer arms, emphasizing its structure within the surrounding field of space rather than isolating it from context.
Photons recorded here began their journey before human civilization emerged. Their successful arrival depends not only on cosmic distance, but on terrestrial darkness. Light pollution can easily erase faint galactic details, washing away the subtle spiral extensions and star-forming knots that define M33’s character.
Protecting dark skies safeguards both scientific discovery and humanity’s connection to the wider universe. In preserving the night, we preserve the stories written in ancient light.

This is what happens when a star looses its shit Britney style. A full umbrella swinging, hair shaving, meltdown. #freebritney
The exploding star would have been about 20 times more massive than our Sun. Said dramatic outburst occurred 10k-20k years ago. The supernova would have been quite the sight, being brighter then Venus and visible during the day.
Only an hour exposure so far because someone put a roof in the way.. lol

Towering columns of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, where new stars are being born. The pillars stretch across light-years of space, illuminated by the radiation from nearby hot young stars, creating a stunning display of cosmic sculpture in deep space.
Without a startracker, I decided to take my shot of shooting the Andromeda Galaxy with my telephoto lens with a very short exposure. Although it still picked up the trailing, can still see the massive galaxy and its two dwarf elliptical galaxies M32 and M110.
The Pleiades, Messier 45 star cluster, showing the nebulous clouds that condensed to create the stars, and are probably still creating more stars today. This image was assembled from 3 hours of 2-minute exposures captured on September 18th, 2020.
The Emerald Bloom of Sh2-36: A Hundred Hours of Starlight Unfolding
In a quiet region of the constellation Serpens, the emission nebula Sh2-36 Nebula reveals itself not as chaos, but as a cosmic bloom. Captured over 100 hours of integration from Desert Bloom Observatory in Arizona, this deep image transforms faint hydrogen gas into a luminous structure resembling a flower unfolding in green radiance.
This celestial “bloom” is an H II region, where intense ultraviolet radiation from newly formed stars ionizes surrounding hydrogen gas. As electrons recombine with protons, they emit light—most prominently in the hydrogen-alpha wavelength—tracing the hidden architecture of stellar birth. The unusual green tones arise from a creative mapping of narrowband data, translating invisible wavelengths into a visual palette that bridges science and imagination.
Filaments stretch like petals, shaped by stellar winds and radiation pressure, while darker lanes of interstellar dust weave through the nebula, sculpting contrast and depth. These structures are not static; they evolve over millions of years, collapsing under gravity to form new stars, while energetic radiation simultaneously disperses the very clouds that created them.
What appears here as a delicate flower is, in reality, a dynamic and powerful environment—where matter cycles between creation and destruction. Each photon captured in this image traveled across space to reach the detector, contributing to a signal refined through patience, precision, and time.
From the desert skies of Arizona, this portrait of Sh2-36 is both a scientific record and an artistic interpretation—a reminder that the universe, even in its most complex processes, can resemble something beautifully familiar: a bloom in the dark.
This is a 2h of data from foggy full moon night taken with my Redcat51 and canon 450d.
That night was mainly for testing new gear and acquisition software. It was fun :)
IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula, the Lambda Centauri Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus, near the star λ Centauri. It features Bok globules, which are frequently a site of active star formation. However, no evidence for star formation has been found in any of the globules in IC 2944. Other designations for IC 2944 include RCW 62, G40 and G42.
