I write a monthly column about the photos I take of outer space from Alameda, California. Check out the recent articles and photos below.

High-resolution image of the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888), showing a bright, curved shell of glowing hydrogen and oxygen gas surrounded by faint, wispy filaments in the Cygnus region of the Milky Way.
Wide-field view of the Rosette Nebula (Caldwell 49), showing a circular cluster of young stars surrounded by red hydrogen emission and intricate dark dust filaments in the constellation Monoceros.
The Tadpoles Nebula (IC 410), a glowing star-forming region in Auriga, with two dense, elongated filaments of gas and dust resembling tadpoles swimming through a sea of red hydrogen emission.
The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) interacting with its smaller companion, showing bright spiral arms filled with blue star clusters and pink nebulae, against a dark background of distant galaxies.
