Heart Nebula, IC 1805

IC 1805 is an emission nebula spanning about 200 light-years in the constellation Cassiopeia. Also known as the Heart Nebula, it presents glowing ionized hydrogen gas and darker dust clouds which give it its heart-shape. In its center, we can find the young cluster Melotte 15

 (1.5 million years old)

 home of a few bright stars nearly 50 times the mass of our Sun

Andromeda Galaxy, M31, NGC 224

The Andromeda Galaxy is one of the few galaxies visible to the naked eye from Earth in the Northern hemisphere. It is also one of the biggest objects in the night sky! It is by far the most popular galaxy to capture for amateur

astrophotographers, as it is the most impressive looking one. When observing or photographing M31, also look for its satellite galaxy M110, which should be obvious to notice! You might also be able to spot M32, although it may seem washed out behind M3l's outer gases.

skull Nebula, NCC 246

NGC 246, also known as Caldwell 56 or the Skull Nebula, is a planetary nebula in the Cetus Constellation. It formed 6,600 years ago when the outer layers of a star, with an initial mass of 4.3 solar masses, were ejected. The nebula grows at a speed of about 35km/s, although its rate of expansion slows as it comes into contact with the interstellar medium.

This shell of oxygen and hydrogen-rich material has already reached 2.1 light-years in size.
