The Flying Bat and Squid Nebulae, captured with 37 hours of integration time. The Squid Nebula is so faint that it requires long imaging sessions. The longer the better. 🦑 ✪

A Giant Squid in the Flying Bat

Stunning telescopic image showcasing the Squid Nebula (Ou4) nestled within the Flying Bat Nebula (Sh2-129) in the Cepheus constellation. The image, a composite of 20 hours of data, reveals the Squid Nebula's distinct bipolar shape and its possible location within Sh2-129, approximately 2,300 light-years away and spanning nearly 50 light-years. The reddish hues represent hydrogen emission from Sh2-129, while the blue-green highlights doubly ionized oxygen in Ou4, potentially an outflow driven by the triple star system HR8119.

44 hours of exposure with my Nikon D5300 and my Star Adventurer 2i, 180mm lens. Used DeepSky Stacker for stacking pictures and edited with Pixinsight and Photoshop. I got all that exposure time to see if I could resolve the Squid Nebula, and it worked. #flyingbatnebula #squidnebula #astrophotography

A deep-sky image showing the sprawling, faintly glowing structure of the Giant Squid Nebula (Ou4) with long, thin, blue-tinted lobes resembling a squid's arms stretching diagonally across the frame. The nebula is immersed in a wider field of reddish hydrogen emission from Sh2-129. Near the center is the bright triple star system HR8119, thought to power the outflow. Countless background stars are scattered across the dark sky.
