NGC 6946 or The Fireworks Galaxy, is a face-on intermediate spiral galaxy with a small bright nucleus whose location lies on the border between the constellations of Cepheus and Cygnus. It lies at a distance of about 25.2 million light-years and the name Fireworks Galaxy comes from the fact that during the last 100 years nine supernova have been observed in this galaxy.

Un Pesce Fuor d'acqua??... nooo!! è un delfino nello spazio Cosmico!!...

Forse sono in anticipo nella sua ripresa ,vista la sua posizione rispetto all'orizzonte ancora molto bassa , ma no vedevo l'ora di trovare la condizione ideale per tentare qualche light e capire cosa poteva raccogliere il mio telescopio orientato a sud ,( il luogo piu inquinato della mia visuale , per la presenza delle luci del mio paese). Visto poi che il segnale raccolto con uno scatto mi era sembrato sufficiente ,ho avviato la sessione di scatti e devo dire di non essermi pentito!!

SH2-308 Visibile nella Costellazione del Cane Maggiore , è una Bolla di Gas che avvolge la stella di Wolf Rayet WR6, distante dalla terra circa 5200 anni luce.

Questa nube si è originata circa 70.000 anni fa a causa delle espulsioni di materia perse dalla stella. Il tenue colore acqua marina è dato dalla composizione chimica del gas che costituisce la bolla ,quale l'ossigeno ionizzato. La bollente super massiccia stella Wolf Rayet WR6 , di dimensioni superiori a 20 masse Solari , si presume essere prossima candidata al divenire Supernova!

from skyatnightmagazine: "The Tulip Nebula is an emission nebula located in the Cygnus constellation, about 6,000 lightyears away.

 

Known formerly as Sh2-101, the whole region is 70 lightyears wide and glows as a result of powerful young stars ionising cosmic gas and causing it to emit light."

NGC 2359, known as Thor's Helmet, is an emission nebula located in the constellation of Canis Major. The nebula lies around 11,960 light years distant and is 30 light-years across. The central star is the Wolf-Rayet star WR7, an extremely hot star thought to be in a brief pre-supernova stage of evolution. It is similar in nature to the Bubble Nebula.

A test to try out my QHY294C OSC camera as I have just bought the mono version of the same camera but the software on all 4 of my laptops will not recognise the camera. The first laptop I tried with the 294C did not work but the second one did. Will have to find out why this is happening. Maybe a dud camera?

NGC 4631 (aka the Whale Galaxy) is a barred spiral galaxy located in Canes Venatici. In this image I counted five smaller galaxies. The galaxy actually does look like a whale. I think it looks like a Blue whale, considering the length and where the blow hole is located :) .

 

Image taken using an ZWO 2600MM Pro camera with LRGB Baader filters. The telescope was a Stellarvue 102ED2 mounted on a Celestron CGX mount.

 

Images were processed in Pixinsight using a variety of processes and scripts. Total integration time was a little over 90 min at a Bortle 4-5 site.

WR 134 is a variable Wolf-Rayet star, a massive star at an advanced stage of stellar evolution and losing mass at a very high rate. It is surrounded by a faint bubble nebula blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star. It is located in the constellation of Cygnus and lies around 6,000 light years distant.
