Some recent images I’ve take . The first is Flemings Triangle in the Cygnus loop, the second is the heart of the Soul nebula, the third is the heart of the Heart nebula, and the fourth is the Fish Head nebula at the top of the heart nebula.

The full moon is killing me with all the light pollution but I got two good photos. The first is the most nebulae I’ve ever gotten in one image (lobster claw, bubble, northern lagoon, and cave nebula), and the second is the Heart nebula.

I am so happy with my new image of the Crescent nebula. The “cosmic brain” as it is sometimes known was created by a Wolf-Rayet star exploding, throwing its insides out into the surrounding area, and then colliding together creating the shock wave that looks like the brain. You can see the hydrogen very clearly making up the “brain”, and the blue oxygen shell surrounding it. In the middle is the small white dwarf star left behind. The large wisps of red hydrogen creating the background of this image are the left overs of a huge star that exploded tens of thousands of year’s ago creating what we know as the Sadr Region.

My best milkyway image yet. This is the Cygnus region of the milkyway. You can see multiple nebulas that I’ve imaged in just this one photo. You can see the North America/Pelican nebula, the Sadr region, The crescent nebula, Tulip nebula, and the entire Cygnus loop made up of the the three Veil nebulas.

Long ago, when an early galaxy began to pour light out into the surrounding darkness, no witness could have known that billions of years later some remote clumps of rock and metal, ice and organic molecules would fall together to make a place called Earth; or that life would arise and thinking beings evolve who would one day capture a little of that galactic light, and try to puzzle out what had sent it on its way. And after the earth dies, some 5 billion years from now, after it's burned to a crisp, or even swallowed by the Sun, there will be other worlds and stars and galaxies coming into being -- and they will know nothing of a place once called Earth.

This is the Andromeda galaxy, our closest neighbor sitting at 2.5 million light years away.

This is the Cocoon nebula. It is famous for its long trails of dark stellar dust.
