Nebulae are vast clouds of gas and dust where stars are born, evolve, and sometimes leave behind dramatic remnants. This collection features nebulae I’ve photographed from my backyard observatory in Indianapolis, including emission, reflection, planetary, and dark nebulae, along with information about each target, capture details, and notes from my own imaging sessions.
