Emission nebula
M-42: Orion Nebula
One of the most recognizable deep space objects and the most studied in the night sky. It’s very bright, it is visible to the naked eye in relatively light polluted areas.
Facts:
It is a stellar nursery where new stars are born, and at 1500 light years from earth, it is the closest nursery to us.
Nearby:
Just next to Orion, there is the running man nebula, due to its resemblance
Best times from Dubai:
Capturing Orion is best in the winter time, towards end of November all the way to early January, where one can plan the sessions a few hours before and after Meridian flip. Due to the source of the light pollution of the city, this target is best captured pre-Meridian flip.
Galaxy
M-31: Andromeda
A barred spiral galaxy with a diameter thought to be more than 150,ooo light years across. It lies 2.5 million light years away, but is still the nearest galaxy to us. It is named after the Greek Mythology princess.
its size and brightness make it visible to the naked eye as a blurry star
Facts:
M-31 is moving towards the Milky Way, our galaxy, at a measured speed of 110 km/s, putting the time to collision to be in 2.5 million years or more. phew!!
Best times from Dubai:
Andromeda is best captured from mid-August to early October, where sessions can be planned before and after Meridian Flip.
Emission nebula
NGC-7000: North-American Nebula
A relatively bright nebula just next to “Deneb” in the Swan constellation. and the most studied in the night sky. The shape of the nebula resembles th North American Continent, from where it gets its name.
Facts:
Accepted to be about 2500 light years away, NGC-7000 is an emission nebula that is triggered by a very hot star lying behind a dark cloud (L935) found on the “Florida Coast” of the nebula and thus cannot be seen using normal cameras and filters.
Nearby:
Just next to the North American Nebula lies the Pelican Nebula.
Best times from Dubai:
Capturing the North American Nebula from Dubai is best done between the months of July and August.
