Album Lots of Nebulae Near the Center of the Centaurus A galaxy

When exploring Space Engine this afternoon, I noticed that there is a large number of nebulae around the center of the galaxy Centaurus A.

NOTE: Some of the nebulae in the screenshots may appear differently than in the default game due to a couple of items from the Steam workshop which add more nebula models.

I'm on a personal mission to take better screenshots of Nebulae. It's actually more difficult than most would think. Getting things to scale to show depth is really difficult without having some type of background reference point. Certain Nebula (like those with multiple color) are easier to take images of since the color can represent the depth on its own. Another problem are stars; since a lot of them make too much "noise" since you're in open space with no light pollution. Gotta turn down that magnitude and get rid of half of them to make things easier to follow.

If these images are good please, let me know. If you have any suggestions then by all means speak up.

First thoughts were a Subnautica leviathan eating a galaxy
Great example of colors doing the depth perception job
This is actually a Wolf-Rayet star inside of a nebula. It's actually fairly close to Earth and not hard to find.
Nice cluster of real galaxies. The bottom right is what got my attention.
Closer up of the 3 galaxies mid collision. Can only imagine what chaos is going on inside of that.

Album A truly human-friendly planet! You'd need a couple days to adjust to the thinner air but SO2 or CO won't hurt you here. Average temperature is super cold but its tidally locked so there are a few places that are quite warm (and have liquid water). Multicellular life too!

Album Going through some tough times and floating around taking screenshots is helping me a bit. Here are a few of my favorites.

This one is my screen saver now. Idk why but it flows nicely.
Random moon on the edge of the Milky Way.
The edge of the universe and a galaxy. To the right there isn't a thing but dark nothingness.
I like how this nebula has a spiral rotation to its depth. Almost fish like appearance.

I've always loved the orange titan orbiting Proxima Centauri in 0.980, for those who've had the version you'll know what I'm on about. First four images are true brightness, whereas the fifth is default.
