Explore Celestial Elegance: The Crescent Nebula by Logan Carpenter
Embark on a visual journey through the cosmos with Logan Carpenter's evocative piece, "The Crescent Nebula."
Located in the Constellation Cygnus, approximately 55,000 light years away, this nebula, affectionately known as "The Brain," is a remarkable Wolf-Rayet Type C nebula. Its intricate structure is a testament to the powerful dynamism of our universe.
A Composition of Celestial Harmony
In capturing this celestial beauty, Logan strategically positioned NGC6888 off-center to include the ethereal presence of the fainter Bubble Nebula. This artistic choice amplifies the nebula's captivating complexity, allowing you to witness the graceful dance of hydrogen-alpha clouds gracefully sweeping across the upper field of view.

Bring the Universe Home
Designed for both passionate astronomers and admirers of celestial beauty, "The Crescent Nebula" poster is more than just art—it's a window to the universe, inviting you to explore the vastness and wonder beyond our planet.
After 20 years of peering down a microscope as a Surgical Pathologist, Logan turned his gaze skyward, discovering a passion for astrophotography in 2019. He images the amazing Deep Sky objects of the Southern Hemisphere from his roll-off-roof observatory at home in New Zealand. More recently he has also been imaging with a rig in southern Spain to expand his reach into the Northern Hemisphere.
Logan collaborates with two international groups of amateur astrophotographers; one deticated to the searching for yet undiscovered nebulae; and the other group carrying out projects consisting of hundreds of hours of integration time to reveal hidden or rarely imaged features of known targets.
