This is the Prawn Nebula! π¦π€π¦π€π¦π€
Not only does it have a strange name, but its other nickname is the "False Comet" as it has that comet-like shape. This massive stellar nursery has "O-type" stars, which are young, massive, luminous stars that die quickly due to their brightness and recycle their materials to form new stars in this nebula! π«π«π«

This is the Trifid Nebula! πππ
With its name meaningΒ βdivided into 3 lobesβ, this close-up picture shows the stellar beauty of this star-forming region. Containing an open cluster, emission nebula, reflection nebula, and a dark nebula, the Trifid Nebula is one of the most unique nebulae that makes it a common target for astronomers! πππ

This is the Orion Nebula! β¨β¨β¨
Thought to be a cosmic fire of creation by the Mayans, the Orion Nebulaβs bright, vibrant colors come from the massive stars in the open star cluster at the center of the nebula. This star forming region is giving birth to thousands of stars, each of them only a few million years old! π«π«π«

One of the most difficult collections ever: the Caldwell object collection! β₯β₯β₯
Taking around 6 months to complete, this was one of the longest collections ever! Many of these objects could be photographed during specific times of the year so I often had to wait months before I could take a picture. πππβ¨π«
