You Always Remember Your First
You Always Remember Your First

Oh, sure. I've shot galaxies and globular clusters, but never a nebula*. Nebulas are gorgeous, exotic. They dance. They twist and they turn ever so slowly. There will be more nebulas for me in the days to come, but I will always remember my first: Messier 97. She is NGC 3587. Or "The Owl" as she is known to her friends. The 14th magnitude central star has passed the turning point in its evolution and is condensing to form a white dwarf, but she will always be my first.

*"A nebula is a distinct luminescent part of interstellar medium, which can consist of ionized, neutral, or molecular hydrogen and also cosmic dust."
