Summer Nebulae

The summer sky is rich with nebulae, many of which lie along the dense regions of the Milky Way. Warm nights and longer observing periods allow for comfortable viewing sessions. Summer nebulae range from vast, intricate structures to smaller, brighter formations that showcase the beauty of stellar nurseries and regions of intense star formation.
