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.

CG 1 and 2 – Cometary Globules

CG 1 and 2 – Cometary Globules in Puppis – HaRGB v1

It took me almost a month to gather the data for this 4 panel, 2×2 mosaic of both CG 1 (lower left) and CG 2 (upper right) in the outskirts of the Gum Nebula. This processing uses RGB and Ha data only, merging L didn’t yield good results with the “red wall” on the right.

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.

Cometary Globules CG30, CG31, CG38

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]
