NIGHT OVER ONTARIO

These photos were taken by Lynn Hilborn of Grafton, Ontario.
Pictures have appeared on the cover and inside editions of SkyNews magazine and in Sky & Telescope and Astronomy magazine, and as NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. A recent magazine article on my photography https://watershedmagazine.com/index.php/shooting-stars

NGC 2170 my favourite diaphanous object... somthing you want to take fly fishing. This image is a combination of images from my NP101is @f4.3 and TEC 140 @f7. Images were take 2 years apart (Feb 2011 and Feb 2013). Both taken with FLI ML8300 camera and Baader filters. The object was shot between 33 and 39 degrees.<br />

In this celestial still life composed with a cosmic brush, dusty nebula NGC 2170 shines left of image center. Reflecting the light of nearby hot stars, NGC 2170 is joined by other bluish reflection nebulae, a red emission region, many dark absorption nebulae, and a backdrop of colorful stars. Like the common household items still life painters often choose for their subjects, these clouds of gas, dust, and hot stars are also commonly found in this setting - a massive, star-forming molecular cloud in the constellation Monoceros. The giant molecular cloud, Mon R2, is impressively close, estimated to be only 2,400 light-years or so away. At that distance, this canvas would be over 40 light-years across.
