Dark Tower – Cometary Globule GN 16.43.7.01 in Scorpius – LHaRGB v1

A lesser known object, the Cometary Globule GN 16.43.7.01, nick-named Dark Tower gained some popularity, especially since ESO’s publication of an image taken with the VLT.

Shai-Hulud Nebula ;-) – CG 4 – Cometary Globule in Puppis – IAS Remote Telescope, Hakos, Namibia – Jan 2024 – LHaRGB v1

Another CG in Puppis, also called “God’s Hand” trying to snatch PGC21338, but for me it looks more like a sandworm.

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.

Cometary Globule CG1 in Gum Nebula – IAS Remote Telescope, Hakos, Namibia – Nov 2023 – LRGB v1

Like a dolphin ahead of the red flood. Nick-named “Flipper” by the IAS remote team, this is the Cometary Globule CG1 in the outskirt of the Gum Nebula. [1] [2]
