NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula, Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11, is an H II region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies close to the direction of the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575. The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.

I didn't spend much time on this target when imaging May2013 as it sets early evening. Carina is a bright nebula so even 20min in dark skies can be impressive.

I used the MorphologicalTransformation process in PixInsight to reduce some of the stars.

It's taken months to process this as I was never entirely happy with the images as focus was slightly out - with new PI skills I've managed to fix this image to the best I think it'll get.

La Nebulosa de la Trompa de Elefante es una concentración de interestelar gas y polvo dentro de la región de gas ionizado mucho más grande IC 1396 ubicada en la constelación Cefeo alrededor de 2.400 años luz lejos de la Tierra. La pieza de la nebulosa aquí se muestra el glóbulo denso y oscuro IC 1396A; Se la denomina comúnmente nebulosa de la Trompa de Elefante debido a su apariencia en longitudes de onda de luz visible, donde hay una mancha oscura con un borde sinuoso y brillante.

Ahora se cree que la Nebulosa de la Trompa de Elefante es un sitio de formación estelar, que contiene varias estrellas muy jóvenes (menos de 100.000 años) que fueron descubiertas en imágenes infrarrojas en 2003. Dos mayores (pero aún jóvenes, un par de millones de años) estándares de estrellas, que viven miles de millones de años) las estrellas están presentes en una pequeña cavidad circular en la cabeza del glóbulo.

Hailuoto Organum is a concrete spatial art work built by Hai Art, located in Ulkokarvo. The piece was designed by the renowned acoustic artist Lukas Kühne. Lukas Kühne has previously designed similar works for Estonia and Iceland.

The sculpture consists of three domes of different sizes attached to each other. Each dome has its own resonance that corresponds to a note and acts as a natural sound amplifier.

Made with a Sony a7s + 70-200 mm + Staradventurer travel mount, processed with Pixinsight.

A bit of explanation :

This image is composed of ~100 pictures of single 30s, so a total of ~50 mn of exposure.

During one of the frame, Hubble passed from right to left and disappeared in the Earth shadow!!!

We had too successive possible nights with kind of the same framing, I think this was the first one (04/04/2018 20h59). It was also very windy, that explains the weird corkscrew trajectory of Hubble on the right.

Sh2-119, or Sharpless 119, is a large complex of emission nebulosity in Cygnus constellation, about 2 degrees east of the North American Nebula.

It is located just around 68 Cygni, a quite bright star of magnitude 5. The nebula was catalogued by astronomer S. Sharpless in his famous "Catalogue of HII Regions", published in 1959. Sharpless described it as a large (have an apparent diameter of about 2 degrees) and "bright" nebula.

The nebula is crossed by several dark dust lanes and globules, especially on the southern part.

About this image:

A two panel widefield mosaic of a section of the large Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex, including IC4603, IC4604 and the Globular Cluster Messier 4 (M4). Rho Ophiuchi is a dark nebula of gas and dust that is located 1° south of the star ρ Ophiuchi of the constellation Ophiuchus (close to the red Supergiant star Antares).

About the Interstellar Cloud Colors:

Fine dust illuminated from the front by starlight produces blue reflection nebulae. The atoms of gaseous clouds that are excited by ultraviolet starlight produce reddish emission nebulae. Back-lit dust clouds block light and appear dark. Antares (a red super-giant star, and one of the brighter stars in the night sky), lights up the yellow-red dust clouds. Rho Ophiuchi lies at the center of the blue nebula. Interstellar clouds are even more colorful than we can see in visible light, emitting light across a large portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

About the Star Colors:

Star colors vary from red, orange, yellow, to blue. This is an indication of the temperature of the star's Nuclear Fusion process. This is determined by the size and mass of the star, and the stage of its life cycle. In short, the blue stars are hotter, and the red ones are cooler.

Westerhout 5 (Sharpless 2-199, LBN 667, Soul Nebula) is an emission nebula located in Cassiopeia. Several small open clusters are embedded in the nebula: CR 34, 632, and 634 (in the head) and IC 1848 (in the body). The object is more commonly called by the cluster designation IC 1848.

Small emission nebula IC 1871 is present just left of the top of the head, and small emission nebulae 670 and 669 are just below the lower back area.

The galaxies Maffei 1 and Maffei 2 are both nearby the nebula, although light extinction from the Milky Way makes them very hard to see. Once thought to be part of the Local Group, they are now known to belong to their own group- the IC 342/Maffei Group.

This complex is the eastern neighbor of IC1805 (Heart Nebula) and the two are often mentioned together as the "Heart and Soul".
