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.

📸 Lynds Dark Nebula 1251
Also known as the Rotten Fish Nebula, LDN 1251 is a dark molecular cloud where stars are forming. It lies about 1,000 light-years away in Cepheus and spans over 25 light-years.📅 APOD – July 10, 2025

📸 A Beautiful Trifid
Red emission. Blue reflection. Dark dust. The Trifid Nebula (M20) in Sagittarius blends all three. Star formation shapes its glowing clouds, while dark lanes split the red core into three parts. A cosmic gem, 5,000 light-years away.📅 APOD – July 9, 2025

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.
