Starship Asterisk*

Reflexions in Camelopardalis

vdB 14 (LBN 681) and vdB 15 (LBN 682) are reflection nebulae in the constellation Camelopardalis. Both are illuminated by two supergigant stars which lies in the middle of the much bigger star forming region Cam OB 1.
The reflection nebula vdB 15 has also a red emission component, this results in a more pinkish color.
On the right a small part of the red emission nebula sh2-202 is visible.

Beautiful, zeam88. Tell me, what is that bright object smack in the middle of the brightest part of the zodiacal light, to the lower right of the Pleiades?

Many thanks, Ann!
I really think it's the planet Mars.
Gooood sky conditions those 2 night!

Hickson 44 - galaxy group

Those 4 galaxies, about 80 million light-years away, form a lovely group in the constellation Leo. Used my 10inch Newtonian reflector with DSLR to image that group in the past week:

Attached is an image of the Cat's Eye that I caputred and assembled over the past year. The image contains the nebula core and outer web-like halo, an interesting 350 mly distant galaxy, and an ultra-distant quasar between them!
