NGC 6888 (the Crescent Nebula) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, located about 5,000 light-years from Earth. It is a cosmic bubble formed by fast stellar winds from a massive, dying Wolf-Rayet star (WR 136) colliding with slower-moving gas the star ejected earlier in its red giant phase.

North American Nebula (NGC700

The North America Nebula (cataloged as NGC 7000) is a large emission nebula located approximately 2,200 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. Spanning roughly 90 light-years across, its striking shape is caused by glowing, ionized hydrogen gas energized by intense ultraviolet radiation from massive nearby stars.

This image uses the Hubble HSO palette tomreveal hydrogen (reds) and oxygen (blues).

If you're in the Central Texas area and would like to learn how to how take images of the night sky, drop me a line! I've opened an astrophotography class for beginners.

Oh, and 50% of our proceeds will help put telescopes in local schools! So, you learn, and so does the next generation.

Antares Region

A field of red and gold nebulosity surrounds the bright yellow-orange star Antares. That's the M4 globular cluster at upper left

Antares is most commonly known as the brightest star in the Scorpius constellation and the 15th brightest star in the night sky. It is a massive red supergiant located roughly 550 light-years from Earth.
