LDN 1235 (the Shark Nebula) in Cepheus, ~650 ly away. A dark dust cloud revealed by the Milky Way star field it extinguishes, with faint blue reflection near the head (vdB 149/150).

I dare say this one came out pretty well. My spacey artwork, "Dust lanes in blue".

It is nearly #Christmas , so here is a very seasonally appropriate target.
#NGC2264 is comprised of two parts - there is the #ConeNebula , which is a #DarkNebula , and the accompanying #ChristmasTreeCluster . For us here in #Australia this is a #Summer complex - appearing for us in the lead up to Christmas itself.
This is a two and half hour exposure, or 150 frames, at 60s/frame, gain 80, using the inbuilt Ha/OIII filter, shot on a #Dwarf3 #SmartTelescope .
Post processing was using Stellar Studio in the app, and #Snapseed.

So to continue with highlights from our #astrophotography expedition to Gingin, another subject I had some fun with was Sandqvist 149.
Yes, I'm aware of its other, more popular name but let's let the discoverer have some kudos, huh?
This is a dark nebula, a star-blotting-out mass of dust that looks like a crack in the sky. You can see some stars in front of it which gives me a sense of three dimensionality to the usual flatness that I get of looking into the infinity of the night sky, and gives perhaps the sense that it is a dust cloud there, not a crack in reality.
The image on the left I took with the #dwarfiii - 60 second exposure, with a gain of 80, and stacked 40 of them.
That's coming to us straight out of camera, and I'll do some post to it sometime.
The image on the right was taken with the #DwarfII with shutter 15 and gain 80, for about 330 frames - and is the first time I've used a stellation mask.
I think that they look a bit silly - because stars don't look like that and it's a really artificial sort of prettiness that's a bit kitsch to me. Sorry to everyone who uses them - I mean they can look pretty, I admit...but for me they're usually meh.
I thought it would be funny to use one for a dark object.

The #HorseheadNebula, a #darknebula located in the constellation #Orion approximately 1,500 light-years away from Earth, is best observed during its annual culmination at astronomical midnight mid December.

#WordWeavers 8.23 — Confronted with a difficult decision would your MC think it through themselves, consult with friends, or seek advice from an authority?
Depending on my series and MC, I have a lot of them. In #DarkNebula, my president wouldn't consult anyone except her AI. Her brothers, though, would consult friends or teammates.

The Perseus molecular cloud is a giant molecular cloud located approximately 1000 light-years away in the constellation of Perseus. It comprises gas and dust weighing over 10,000 solar masses in an area of sky 6 by 2 degrees.
The gas-cloud is nearly invisible except for two clusters, IC 348 and NGC 1333, where low-mass stars are formed.

#Wordweavers 15 - Is your MC neat or messy?
In #DrowningEarth: One is super neat, she’s the captain of a nuclear submarine. The second is midland. He’s the Bull Nuke and balances just the right amount of mess to not be called messy by his dolphins.
In #DarkNebula: They match my kids as they’re mirrors of them by design. They’re a spectrum from clean (daughter), to midland (son 2), to as messy as only a boy can get (son 1).

Did you know there were sharks in space? 🦈
This is the Dark Shark Nebula, LDN 1235 from Lynds Dark Nebula catalogue, in the constellation of Cepheus. It is a large cloud of interstellar dust that reflects the light of surrounding stars.
I captured this image Tuesday night from La Mauricie National Park (QC, 🇨🇦) where the low light pollution (Bortle 3) allows capturing this very dim object in a reasonable amount of time.

There are 5 galaxies visible in the image, can you spot them? Two are easy, three are more difficult.

Sorry I’ve been MIA for the past few weeks. Work has been cranking up, and every moment I’m not with my family I’m writing. Closing out this sixth and final book in my #DarkNebula series has been grueling. I’m 192k words into this epic #SpaceOpera and have a solid 20k left.
While I’ve also started self-editing, I have a ton of work left ahead. This weekend I’ve written 12k words and plan to get as many as possible in tomorrow as well.
Back to Ulysses! Cya soon!

Not as satisfied with this as my last effort, but I still like it enough to share. My new spacey piece "The galaxy has seven eyes".
