Description

This is Gecko Nebula, LBN 442 I was incredibly lucky to go south to Texas in November or 2022 with my best astro friends. We ended up combining our data and developing a plan to capture targets that we are intereseted in and maximizing our limited time there. One of the targets was teh Gecko Nebula, a molecular cloud in Lacerta that has very interesting shape. it's neigbouring the emision nebula sh Sh2-126 that runs through this frame. The brighgt stars in Gecko are newly formed from the cloud. The data, as mentioned, was a result of colaboraton of Dawn Lowry, Gian Lorenzo Ferretti, Ewa Pasiak and Terry Felty and has been processed by [url=https://www.facebook.com/ewa.pasiak?__cft__[0]=AZWWVTYR_IugEa9m0IwsOAf0WCkZZIVa640Bwr6RpMdQRTo4t72GH7l6CtuJUEfDGEt5JuAhYaa9rydNbKNBpWCZA82ZZ13fFCMGdRbAgxETSw&__tn__=-]K-R]Ewa Pasiak[/url]
