The Blue Horsehead Nebula, IC 4592 // Michael Smithers
Starlight Reflections - April 14th, 1998.
"Wisps of dust fill the space between the stars. This dust is usually invisible, subtly acting to dim the light of more distant stars. Sometimes this dust is thick and prominent as dark patches on otherwise bright emission nebulae. Other times this dust may show itself by reflecting the light of bright, nearby stars. Because bright stars tend to be blue, and because dust reflects blue light more easily than red, the resulting reflection nebula usually appears blue. Pictured above is the reflection nebula Sharpless 2-1 in the constellation of Scorpius."

JWST Views The Serpens Nebula
The Serpens nebula lies 1,300 light years from Earth and shows some amazing features.
At the top left, stars and protostars thought to be no older than 100,000 years create huge outflows along the poles, that burst out of the shroud of dust and gas and creating shockwaves as they hit interstellar material.
Then at the centre is the bat shadow, over the operation time of Hubble this has been seen to move, as the dust and gas cast a shadow in a slightly different area.
and finally, an area that looks like a eye with a star shining out, although it is thought that isn't what it actually is, rather layers of dust and gas at different densities giving the appearance of depth.

IC 5146 - the Cocoon Nebula (HaRGB)
An especially fun target to shoot, because it's a combination emission and reflection nebula. The red in its center is ionized hydrogen, which emits a deep red glow, but the areas around the nebula with fewer stars are filled with dust, which reflects nearby starlight to produce the pale blue glow at the nebula's apparent edges.
Shot at 1600mm with a 200mm RC telescope and a ZWO ASI533MM Pro. 2h of Ha integrated exposure time, plus 1h each of RGB data.
All images on my blog, unless noted, are shot from my backyard in Bortle 7 skies.
SPACEMAS DAY 1 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕
What a better way to start than with one of the faves!!
Fittingly named the Horsehead Nebula, it is around 1,500 light-years away, embedded in the vast Orion cloud complex and is sculpted by stellar winds and radiation. About 5 light-years "tall," the dark interstellar cloud, is cataloged as Barnard 33, is a star forming region. It is visible only because its dust is silhouetted against the glowing red emission nebula IC 434. To the lower left of the image there is a contrasting blue reflection nebula NGC 2023, surrounding a hot, young star. The featured gorgeous color image combines both narrowband and broadband images recorded using several different telescopes.
