NGC 1491 is a emission nebula located in the constellation of Perseus. It is often referred to as the Fossil Footprint nebula. Massive stars located in the nebula ionize the hydrogen gas causing it to glow in red light.

NGC 7293 aka Helix nebula is one of the closest of the planetary nebula which is formed from a lower mass star that sheds it's outer layers near the end of it's life before shrinking down to a white dwarf.

NGC 7009 is a planetary nebula located in Aquarius. Of course the name comes from its resemblance to the planet Saturn. The way a planetary nebula forms of course is way different. A low mass star loses its outer layers during it's red giant phase before shrinking down in to a white dwarf. The nebula is glows from the ionization from the now white dwarf.
