Autumn Nebulae

Autumn brings a mix of well-known and less-visited nebulae that bridge the transition from summer’s richness to winter’s brilliance. This season is perfect for those looking to observe nebulae under darker skies, as longer nights provide excellent conditions. Autumn nebulae may not be as numerous as in other seasons, but they offer unique structures and fascinating shapes to discover.
