CG30, CG31A-E, CG38 – Cometary Globules in the Gum Nebula and more Dark Nebulae in Puppis – IAS Remote Telescope, Hakos, Namibia – Jan 2024 – LRGB v1

New data from the IAS remote telescope, comprising 2 panels for this mosaic. Somewhat uncharted territory in Puppis, at least regarding the NGC and IC catalogs, with several cometary globules in the outskirts of the very large Gum Nebula.

More scientific details about the objects can be found in this older publication by ESO, see page 71, section 2.1.4 CG30/31 and HH12.

NGC 7599, 7590, 7582 – Grus Quartet Galaxies – IAS Hakos, Namibia – Sep 2023 v1

Only three of the quartet, NGC 7522 is a bit further out, but NGC 7599, 7590, and 7582 just barely fit the frame. Data from September at IAS Observatory, Hakos, Namibia.

NGC 1097 and Supernova 2023rve – Galaxy in Fornax – IAS Hakos, Namibia – 18 Sep 2023 v1

Image data from 18 Sep 2023, taken on-site at the IAS Hakos Observatory, Namibia. The spiral galaxy NGC 1097 in Fornax with a back then new type II supernova 2023rev, discovered on 08 Sep 2023. So only 10 days old in this image (see marker), or 45 million years, depending on the perspective.
