Hi-res: http://www.pampaskies.com/gallery3/Deep ... /B33-Flame

It has been imaged a zillion times, but I still like how this one turned out, given the structure and color in Flame and the tiny little stars popping out of the horsehead. Mind it was imaged with a low-end dslr camera.
Thanks for looking!

It's time for me to post a few comments.

Emnil Ivanov, you are one of my great favorites. I love how you show that there is a "gray bubble" inside the "spaghetti filaments of redness". The structure of this nebula is faintly, faintly reminiscent of the Crab Nebula, where there is also a blue-gray nebula "kept in place" by a network of red filaments.

That's a handsome Tarantula nebula, Angus Lau!

Wow, Giuseppe Pappa. I love that Omega Sun!

And talk about Orion being "tangled in the trees", Moisés Lameiro Bergantiños. I really like it!

Maurice Toet, you have posted many images here, and I love several of them. For example, your first Orion image portrays the red nebulosity in a very interesting way. Look at that red "ring" around Sigma Orionis near the Horsehad Nebula! (And look at the large red circle centered on blue, blue Lambda Orionis!)

"The Shadow of La Palma" is an incredibly beautiful picture with marvelous shades of blue and pink. The shadow is nice, too!

And the Milky Way with bright zodiacal light is really impressive.

Randy Shivak, I love your solar limb where the Sun looks "hairy"! The bottom image is even better, because it makes the Sun look very slightly like Enceladus with jets!

Dieter Willasch, that's a very fascinating double portrait of the large red Gum Nebula and the much smaller blue-green Vela supernova remnant.

AnTaR3s, that's an interesting portrait of the Andromeda galaxy, to be sure. There are a lot of (mostly yellow) stars in M31 and only a little dust!

Ignacio Diaz Bobillo, you took that Horsehead Nebula region image with a quite simple camera? Well done!

VegaStar Carpentier, I love your huge purple Moon behind ghostly blue-green buildings. Your picture looks like a still from a sci-fi movie!

(What -that's not the Moon? Ooops - that's the Sun! It looks good in purple!!!)

Thanks to everyone who contributed images to this thread!

Ann
