Horsehead in Orion By Mary Ann Andrews
La Canada, Ca
Would you share higher resolution copy? (Link or PM)
Thnx,

Her discription of the project :
"The small, about 2 x 4 light years, dust cloud resembling a horses head in the constellation Orion was created in threads and set off by polyester party dress fabrics portraying the glowing star formation radiation behind it. "

NGC 6357: Cathedral amidst raging waves of fire
[attachment=0]NGC6357_Boren.jpg[/attachment]
http://m3.i.pbase.com/o4/27/876727/1/14 ... 20FLAT.jpg
This image is 1876x1247 pixels
Massive stars lie within NGC 6357, the central part of which is shown in the very middle of this image. That central region spans about 10 light years and the whole expansive complex lies about 8,000 light years away in the tail of the constellation Scorpius.
In fact, positioned just below center in this view of NGC 6357, star cluster Pismis 24 includes some of the most massive stars known in the galaxy, stars with over 100 times the mass of the Sun. The nebula's bright central region also contains dusty pillars of molecular gas, likely hiding massive protostars from the prying eyes of optical instruments. The intricate patterns are caused by complex interactions between interstellar winds, radiation pressures, magnetic fields, and gravity. The overall glow of the nebula results from the emission of light from ionized hydrogen gas (ref. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap081009.html; http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap101121.html).
The unusual name of “War and Peace” was given to this nebula not because of the famous novel by Tolstoy, but was given to this object by scientists working on the Midcourse Space Experiment (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midcourse_Space_Experiment). They noted that the bright, western part of the nebula resembled a dove, while the eastern part looked like a skull in their infrared images. Unfortunately this effect cannot be seen in the visible-light image presented here. The object is also occasionally nicknamed the Lobster Nebula (ref. http://asterisk.apod.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=28928).
NGC 6357 was first recorded visually by John Herschel from South Africa in 1837. He only recorded the brightest central parts and the full scale of this huge nebula was only seen in photographs much later.
I've taken the name as a variation on the NASA APOD of Nov. 18th http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap121118.html)
It's actually a re-do and re-frame of an image I posted here some two months ago http://www.pbase.com/boren/image/146391038), shot from the Kalahari desert, Namibia, this August. While the former was a zoomed-out wide field, this one takes a close look at the raging Ha waves circling the Cathedral to Massive Stars ...

AE Aurigae and IC405 - The Flaming Star Nebula
[attachment=0]FlamingStar_Boren.jpg[/attachment]
http://ic2.pbase.com/o4/27/876727/1/147 ... pixels.jpg
This image is: 1450x1079 pixels / 4.23"/Pixel
Location RA 05h 15m 52s, Dec +34° 31' 43" / Position Angle +270°43'
The Flaming Star nebula got its name from the appearance of the red ionized hydrogen and blue reflecting dust surrounding AE Aurigae - the brightest star in this image.
Just as As Mu Columbae speeds to the south away from Orion's Trapezium, from where it was hurled (rather from near where, since the Trapezium was not yet born), AE Aurigae zips away to the north - the two separating at some 200 km/sec.
The idea is that around two million years ago two massive binary stars collided close to where the M42 Trapezium now finds itself, in the middle of Orion's Sword. Two stars were exchanged to make the odd eccentric double Iota Orionis, while the other two were ejected to create the classic "runaway stars" mentioned, one of which is AE Aurigae.
AE Aurigae is a 5.96 mag. star, while the two-letter name implies variability (between magnitudes 5.4 and 6.1). The apparent faintness is a product of great distance (near 1450 light years, just a bit farther than Mu Col), and a significant amount of absorption by interstellar dust, which if it were not there would make AE Aur 0.8 magnitudes brighter, boosting it to mid-fifth.
Not surprisingly, Mu Col and AE Aur are similar, both class O (O9.5) hydrogen-fusing dwarfs, AE's temperature measured at 36,500 Kelvin and between 26,000 and 33,000 times the luminosity of the Sun, and at least 17 times solar masses, with a radius about 5 times that of the Sun.
Like the Pleiades in Taurus, AE is now passing through an unrelated interstellar cloud of gas and dust that it is illuminating.
Hot stars, with their simple spectra, make ideal backgrounds for the study of the spectra of intervening interstellar gases (which are superimposed on the stellar spectra), and AE is no exception. Indeed its very high speed across the line of sight of 90 km/s relative to the Sun allows the fine structure of the interstellar medium to be probed as the star passes in back of the wispy gasses, causing the interstellar spectrum to vary. There is really nothing all that unusual in such stars; some 15 % of O and B stars are runaways, some caused by binary interchange, others - like Zeta Ophiuchi - caused by one of the stars of a binary exploding off-center and ejecting the other.
AE's fate is to explode as well, but as a single star which will someday be no more but for a lonely neutron star left behind.

Barnard 30, 33, 233, SH2-164 in Orion
[attachment=0]164_Boren.jpg[/attachment]
http://m2.i.pbase.com/o6/27/876727/1/14 ... YFINAL.jpg
This image is 1400x1078 pixels
This picture shows an area rich in dust, reflection nebula (some of it interlaced with the dark dust itself) and emmission nebula. It is part of a huge, 8 degrees wide, emission and molecular cloud area named Sharpless2-264 just above Orion's head.
This image covers about 99 arc. min, and is centered on RA 05h 30m 33s, Dec +12° 22' 44"
at a position angle of +267° 21'.
Near the red emission nebula lurk the dusty areas named Barnard 30, 33 and 233 of barnard's catalogue.

IC342
http://www.darkskyimages.com
Copyright: Scott Tucker I shot this galaxy last weekend but clouds kept me from getting RGB data to go with my luminance and h-alpha filtered data. But my friend Gil Esquerdo had RGB data from 2 years ago, so I figured I'd try combining everything and it worked better than I had expected. My recent L and Ha data were taken with a Hyperion 12.5" f/8 telescope and Apogee U16M camera, and Gil's data was with a Celestron 11" SCT at f/2 with a HyperStar lens and SBIG ST-2000XM camera. Two very different imaging systems, but with similar fields of view, and with the color data taken with the lower-resolution scope, so it worked out well! (Ha! Your plans to ruin my imaging failed, Mother Nature!)
