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.

Gum 68 / Sh2-13 / RCW 133 – Emission Nebula in Scorpius – HSS w/RGB Stars v1

Took me a while to create something with presentable colors from the narrowband data of this obscure nebula in Scorpius, the previous H-alpha black and white version was easier.

This is a bicolor image with R=H-alpha, G=SII, B=SII and mainly H-alpha with a bit of SII used as luminance, plus calibrated RGB stars screened on-top.

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.
