It&#39;s close to the Rosette Nebula so you can find it in the Monoceros constellation. I find it to be very cool.

This is a faint, dusty, but colorful place in our galaxy! Thanks, Ramón and Javier!

My gosh! This has been the faintest narrowband deep sky object I’ve ever taken so far. SH2-224 is a SN remnant in the constellation of Auriga.

Chaos, rather than harmony, is what rules our universe. This ‘calmness’ that we percieve from Earth is only apparent.

You can see LDN 1464, which is a dark cool nebula, and not a hole or a void as some tend to believe.<br/><br/>I took this picture from my observatory in Mexico City.

Its velocity and strong stellar winds produce the bow shock in front of it, this last known as vdB 95. If this is not awesome enough, HD 53974 is double star system. The nebulosity corresponds to the well known Seagull nebula, in the constellation of Monoceros.<br/><br/>#astrophotography #astronomy #space #nightsky #nightphotography #photography #outdoors #stars #nebula #nebulae #Astrodon<br/><br/> <img src="https://media.astrodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/618/002/317/901/369/original/a86729e0440ecaec.png"> 2024-12-08T15:52:37Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2h0uw4zc9u3xumz6dlc2s5azx9x8nremk5uelpevyrpxf55ry8tgzyzvwucu45fwh4lrwk466lz0ps8d9eh62fxxk8pfljt5x73ktr2hgxn6kmjs Fish heads, fish heads<br/>Rolly Polly fish heads<br/>Fish heads, fish heads <br/>Eat them up, yum!<br/><br/>#astrophotography #astronomy #space #nightsky #nightphotography #photography #outdoors #stars #nebula #nebulae #Astrodon<br/><br/> <img src="https://media.astrodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/602/929/691/934/026/original/693d55600d592fb1.png"> 2024-12-06T00:01:40Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst5mqtasj9uuhmqjfrjss4gqnarargd63vrggk3r3dgetgtaqpn7gzyzvwucu45fwh4lrwk466lz0ps8d9eh62fxxk8pfljt5x73ktr2hgxy3gp0x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswrgzde23xsshv09z3cxsfvmgycw0wrryrtnswyanp3u46sspdgfcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qv68q6f'>nevent1q…8q6f</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqtnt3r6jx6mt6q8tp4uerxdud3c4w4243wm2rmyh5gcg9r2yna46szrz4x5" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqtnt3r6jx6mt6q8tp4uerxdud3c4w4243wm2rmyh5gcg9r2yna46szrz4x5</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…z4x5</span>)</a></span> thanks, Thomas!!! 2024-11-25T22:49:53Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9a386phw90gmrnek03vsjla0j6qytk3wwwpxwlarg24jwasg6nmgzyzvwucu45fwh4lrwk466lz0ps8d9eh62fxxk8pfljt5x73ktr2hgx7nyxk8 A better interpretation of bright emission nebula NGC6604.<br/><br/>#astrophotography #astronomy #space #nightsky #nightphotography #photography #outdoors #stars #nebula #nebulae #Astrodon<br/><br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/astrodonsocial/media_attachments/files/112/658/563/107/078/063/original/087f2fbfc0523e03.png"> 2024-06-22T05:15:42Z
