Image of IC 405 aka the Flaming Star Nebula This is an emission (the red part) and reflection (the blue part) nebula. It's relatively bright for a nebula with visual magnitude of +6.

The bright star at the center of the blue reflection nebula is AE Aurigae, it's the star responsible for the ionisation of the gas in this nebula. AE Aurigae is what's known as a runaway star, those are star that moves at high speed compared to their surrounding environment. They are the result of gravitational interaction between stars or stars being ejected by nearby supernovae. In the case of AE Aurigae, it was probably ejected due to gravitational interaction, its path has been traced back to the Orion Nebula from which it was ejected about 2 million years ago.

The moon was nearly full and somewhat close by when I took the photos, so it was a bit tricky to process them. As a result, the reflection part of the nebula was not as visible as I would have liked but I think the overall result is not too bad.

Image taken using a CarbonStar 150/600 newtonian telescope with a 0.95 coma corrector, ZWO ASI294 monochrome camera. 6x300s image for each colour filter (LRGB) and 12x300s for the Ha filter, total imaging time 3h, stacking and processing done in PixInsight.

Tried applying the Ortonglow script in PixInsight to give the nebula a bit more depth, but I don't like the halos it gave around the bright stars on the left.

The Lone Centurion, acrylic on canvas

[ID: a painting of Rory Williams from Doctor Who in his centurion outfit. He is surrounded by and composed of red, yellow, and orange nebulae and outlined in white. White stars can be seen through the colors. Gold writing at the top of the image is slightly obscured by the nebulae, and it reads, “how could I leave her?” End ID]

This probably is my most detailed picture of the nebulas surrounding Orion's Belt. I was specifically targeting the nebulae 'next' to Alnitak, but I didn't realize until I saw the result of tonight's shooting that the Great Orion Nebula is the brightest of them all. I know in which direction I'm making pictures next time.

Music Inspiration

I've been meaning to make art around this music for a while, I finally got around to making concept arts (in which are up on my Patreon), but I reaaaally liked how I did the eyes in one sketch, which made it hard to see in the concepts (as it looked more focused in landscape, which had me go ehhh, because there wasn't really much), so I decided to do a closer shot! : D
