🪐☄️🌌🔭
Pointy Veil in Pyxis Captured during my vacations back in April, this striking image showcases a rarely photographed nebula in the southern constellation of Pyxis. There doesn’t seem to be a universally accepted name for it, therefore I dubbed it the Pointy Veil. This structure (part of SH2-312 - also known as the Great Pyxis Nebula) is thought to be linked to the Vela Supernova Remnant. I found this target while browsing a hydrogen alpha survey of the Milky Way and it seemed like a fun thing to photograph!

I photographed the Flying Dragon 🐉 Nebula - a very faint object in the constellation of Cygnus. It is almost all Hydrogen - hence the all-red color - which in my opinion is very much on brand with the whole dragon thing 😁 Credit: Luca Bartek @the_space_koala Image info Celestron C11 EdgeHD, Celestron RASA 8 Rainbow Astro RST-300, Rainbow Astro RST-135 ZWO ASI 2600MC Duo, ZWO ASI 6200MM Pro 9-11.2023 Lugano, CH 28 hours of integration time #space #telescope #astronomer #photooftheday #pictureoftheday #astrophotography #apod #passioneastrofotografia #thespacekoala #spacekoala #asiweek #questionmark #flyingdragon #celestronuniverse #celestron

The Ghosts of Cassiopeia 👻

The main nebulosity in the picture is colloquially known as the Ghost Nebula, but in my opinion the surrounding dust area is a whole ghost town.
