CG 19 – Cometary Globule in Centaurus – OSC v1

Results from the second night at the IAS observatory on the Gamsberg plateau with the 28 inch Newtonian “Wolf-Peter-Hartmann-Teleskop”, adding to my growing catalog of cometary globules.

Alas, sky flats at dusk didn’t work well, so some of the dust struture seen here may be artefacts of the calibration and gradient removal.

CG 10 – Cometary Globule in Puppis- LHaRGB v1

Continuing with the CGs, this one took really loooong, from mid January to mid February. Alas, CG season is also rain season in Namibia. Good for the country, but not so much for astrophotography.

Part of the ever growing CG catalog here at Photography > Astrophotography > Cometary Globules.

As always, more details at Astrobin.

CG 15 and CG 16 – Cometary Globules in Puppis/Carina – LHaRGB v1

Another CG image, completed just after Christmas Day, showing CG 15 (lower right) in Puppis and CG 16 (upper left) in Carina. Two more for the growing catalog of CGs here.

More details at Astrobin coming soon.

Continuing the with the cometary globules, here comes CG 11, also part of my growing catalog of CGs here at Gallery > Photography > Astrophotography > Cometary Globules.

CG 8 and 9 – Cometary Globules in Puppis – OSC v1

Continuing with the cometary globules, CG 8 and 9 were captured on-site at the IAS observatory Hakos with the 20″ Newtonian Astrograph AK3 and a new ASI 2600 MC Duo camera, which works quite nicely with this scope.

One more step on the long way to complete the CG catalog here. Most of the CGs are in Puppis, which meanwhile sets quite early in the southern hemisphere night.

Cometary Globule CG 7 in Vela – LHaRGB v1

More strange creatures: lonely cometary globule CG 7 plowing through the dust clouds of Vela, as it seems. Maybe looking for the small planetary nebula NGC 2792? (Can you find it? If not, see the annotated image below.)

Also included in my growing catalog of CGs here.

Cometary Globule CG 5 and Dark Friends in Puppis – LHaRGB v1

Still on the hunt for cometary globules, here’s CG5 trying to escape the evil clouds with tendrils already stretching in its direction … ;-)

Meanwhile, I created an extra page in the gallery with some information on CGs and the related astrophotography so far.

More details at Astrobin, as always.

Cometary Globules CG 3 and CG 25, Galaxy NGC 2427 in Puppis – LHaRGB v2

Continuing the hunt for cometary globules, those strangely shaped dark clouds, mostly in the constellation of Puppis. This image shows CG3 and less prominent CG25 to the right, together with the spiral galaxy NGC 2427.
