North America and Pelican nebulae - wide field
I’ve long wanted to capture these two stunning nebulae together in a wide field, so that both could fit within the same frame.

One of the last ones I still have left from the Atacama desert: the Trifid Nebula (M20)
The Trifid Nebula (M20) is a star-forming region, with three distinct sections of gas and dust separated by dark lanes.

The Dark Wolf Nebula - Barnard 228
About 500 light-years away, in the direction of the constellation Lupus, lies that complex of dark clouds of dust and gas cataloged as Barnard 228.

Chamaeleon Complex: molecular clouds in the constellation Chamaeleon, near the South Celestial Pole.
It is composed of the dense molecular clouds Chamaeleon I, II, and III, which obscure the light from stars located behind them.

Large Magellanic Cloud, combining broadband (RGB) and narrowband data (Ha y OIII).
Captured from the Atacama Desert under exceptionally dark skies, this image reveals the structure of one of our closest galactic neighbor.

Blue Horsehead Nebula (IC 4592) in Scorpius, in LRGB
It's a reflection nebula located in the constellation Scorpius.

Cosmic Bat Nebula (LDN 43)
In the constellation Ophiuchus, some 1,400 light-years from Earth, a giant cosmic bat seems to fly across the stars.

Silver Coin Galaxy or Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253)
The Silver Coin Galaxy, also known as the Sculptor Galaxy, is one of the brightest galaxies visible in our sky. Under dark conditions, it can be spotted with binoculars.

Part of the Pipe Nebula, a dark cloud complex in Ophiuchus.
The Pipe Nebula is a vast dark nebula complex located just in front of the center of the Milky Way, in the constellation Ophiuchus.

The Veil Nebula in Cygnus, supernova remnants, in wide field.
This is what’s left of a massive star that exploded thousands of years ago. The shockwaves from that supernova still ripple through space, shaping these intricate filaments of ionized gas.

Dark Doodad Nebula and Globular Cluster NGC 4327
The Dark Doodad Nebula is a striking dark nebula located near the globular cluster NGC 4372, in the direction of the constellation Musca, the Fly, in the southern sky.

Centaurus A Galaxy (NGC 5128)
Centaurus A is a very peculiar galaxy because it emits a giant jet of energy outward at incredible speeds, making it a constant subject of study for astronomers.

Each hue reveals a different astronomical process: blue comes from starlight reflected by dust particles, red from gas ionized by young stars, and deep brown from dust that absorbs light. It's a cosmic landscape where physics becomes art. (close up)
🔭 #astrophotography #astronomy #TicosEnAtacama
Within it, bluish reflection nebulae intertwine with reddish emission regions and dense dust clouds that obscure the stellar background. (close up)

One of the most striking sights in the southern sky is, without a doubt, the Magellanic Clouds—two dwarf galaxies that orbit our Milky Way. Their name comes from their diffuse appearance, visible even to the naked eye as small cloud-like patches in the night sky.

#TicosEnAtacama
The Southern Cross constellation is one of the most iconic in the southern hemisphere, not just for its distinctive shape, but because it has historically served as a reference point for navigation and geographic orientation.

#TicosEnAtacama
B228, also known as the Dark Wolf Nebula, is a dark nebula located in the Lupus Molecular Cloud, approximately 500 light-years away.
The nebula is part of a larger star-forming region.

Small Magellanic Cloud
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is a dwarf irregular galaxy, one of the Milky Way's closest galactic neighbors, and is visible to the naked eye from the Southern Hemisphere.
