I followed up the #TulipNebula with an "observation" of #CygX-1 located nearby. I didn't bother with a 3-panel mosaic to balance the image 😉- Internet suggests exposures over hours will reveal a bow-shock wave near Cyg X-1 but it was not apparent in my short exposure... #astro #EAA #astronomy

It’s been a while since i tried a nebula - not ideal targets for high resolution, short duration exposures but you can still put together pleasing #astroimages - i actually went out to look for Cygnus-X1 but lingered in the area 🤷🏻‍♂️ - #Sh2-101 #TulipNebula #astronomy #astro #EAA

Stunning telescopic view of the Tulip Nebula (Sh2-101) in the Cygnus constellation. This vibrant nebula, located 8,000 light-years away, showcases intricate details of interstellar gas and dust ionized by young stars. Red, green, and blue hues represent sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen emissions. The bright star near the center is HDE 227018, and the microquasar Cygnus X-1 is visible towards the top right.
