Molecular clouds everywhere in the #Perseus constellation.
Down the center, the nebula #LBN749, crossed by the dark nebula #B3. #NGC1333 stands out at the lower right, somewhat asking for more attention with longer focal lengths. But the most prominent and obvious object in the field is of course #NGC1499, the California Nebula, a celestial brushstroke of hydrogen ionized by the giant O7 star #Menkib, ξ Per

And finally here comes #NGC1333 from my backyards.

NGC 1333 is a reflection nebula in #Perseus. I particularly enjoy the colors here, and especially the mix between the gas lightened by the stars and the dark nebula caused by interstellar dust.

This is a combination of 2 sessions (1st in September, 2d yesterday, after waiting for clear skies). I only had a couple hours before fog yesterday...

#Astrophotography

Latest astrophotography image! Had a streak of clear nights this week. This is 190 x 300 second images of NGC 1333 https://science.nasa.gov/ngc-1333-stellar-nursery-perseus

My first image with any serious dust in it. Quite pleased with how it has turned out. Followed. A nice walk through by Adam Block on the same object and that really helped the processing.

On to the next project!
