Makrem wrote: “The image shows the gas clouds in red thanks to the hydrogen-alpha filter, highlighting the complex structure of the nebula. At center, you can admire the Crescent Nebula, formed by the powerful stellar winds of a dying Wolf-Rayet star. I am thrilled to share this interstellar journey with you!” Outstanding image. Thank you, Makrem. See more deep-sky photos from June below.

Deep-sky photos of diffuse nebulae
View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Andrew Warner in Fort Davis, Texas, captured the Iris Nebula in the constellation Cepheus on June 4, 2024. Andrew wrote: “The Iris Nebula appears bright blue due to light reflected from the bright, hot star V380 Cephei. The dusty area surrounding the Iris consists of dark molecular clouds and interstellar dust grains. These dust grains scatter and absorb light from nearby stars, creating intricate patterns and structures.” Thank you, Andrew!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Mohamed Alaa in Alkut, Iraq, captured the Veil Nebula in the constellation Cygnus on June 7, 2024. Mohamed wrote: “The Veil Nebula consists of an emission nebula and a reflection nebula about 1,500 light-years away. This gathering is the remains of a supernova, which exploded about 18,000 years ago.” Thank you, Mohamed!
More nebulae

Andrea wrote: “The Trifid Nebula, M20, is an amazingly complex and photogenic nebula in the constellation Sagittarius. It contains a red hydrogen-alpha emission nebula with dark absorption nebula lanes which gives the object distinct lobes. Above the object is a blue reflection nebula where interstellar dust reflects the light of bright blue stars.” Thank you, Andrea!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Mohammed Abdallah in Suez, Egypt, captured the Eagle Nebula in the constellation Serpens on June 5, 2024. Mohammed wrote: “I’ve shot the Eagle Nebula many times before. But this is the first time I shot it with the Pillars of Creation very visible. It was tricky from Bortle 8 and I’m happy about with this result.” Thank you, Mohammed!
View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Guido Santacana in San Juan, Puerto Rico, captured this globular cluster on June 12, 2024. Guido wrote: “NGC 5139, or Omega Centauri, was taken in the midst of a large power blackout, which improved viewing conditions from the usual Bortle class 8, to about class 5 and possibly 4. The sky was not only clear but also transparent, which is an unusual occurrence for the tropical summer.” Thank you, Guido!
Deep-sky photos of galaxies

Kshitij wrote: “The stunning Pinwheel Galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major is about 20 to 25 million light-years from Earth. I spent 6 sleepless nights on a mission.” Thank you, Kshitij!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Fred Holman in Contoocook, New Hampshire, captured Messier 81 on June 5, 2024. Fred wrote: “M81 (or Bode’s Galaxy) and NGC 3077 (upper left). M81 is a grand-design spiral galaxy located about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. NGC 3077, part of the M81 galaxy group, is a small disrupted elliptical galaxy also about 12 million light-years away.” Thank you, Fred!
And a group of galaxies
View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Kris Hazelbaker in Grangeville, Idaho, captured this image on June 13, 2024. Kris wrote: “I love finding and capturing multiple galaxies in a single picture. This is the Splinter Galaxy and a couple of ‘neighbors’ (from our viewpoint), found in the constellation Draco.” Wonderful shot. Thank you, Kris!
