M8 - the Lagoon Nebula (narrowband)236 viewsA giant emission nebula in Sagittarius. Distance 4100 light-years. 110 x 50 light-years in size. Part of a larger star cloud.

M51- The Whirlpool Galaxy205 viewsThere are actually two interacting galaxies here; the smaller companion is NGC 5195, and the two have collided in the past, causing all kinds of woe and grief. They are about 25 million light years away.

The Heart Nebula254 viewsEmission nebula in Cassiopeia, 7500 light-years away from Earth. The Fish-head Nebula is also seen as a cancerous outgrowth from the Heart Nebula at lower left.

NGC6302 - The Bug Nebula250 viewsA bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation Scorpius. Also known as the Butterfly Nebula, but a larger telescope than the 5" refractor used to capture this image is needed to show the pattern clearly; it shows up well in Hubble images. In this image, the nebula looks more like a bug squashed on a car windshield.

IC4592 - Blue Horsehead Nebula 195 viewsReflection nebula in the constellation Scorpius, lit by the giant septuple star Jabbah (Nu Scorpii). This photo shows only part of the nebula, so the horsehead shape is not evident here.

Sh2-106 - Snow Angel Nebula233 viewsEmission nebula and star forming region in Cygnus, about 2000 light-years from Earth.

Markarian's Chain253 viewsPart of Markarian's Chain, a group of galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. Visible in the photo are NGCs 4477, 4473, 4461, 4458, 4438 and 4435. Not visible are M84 and M86, which are out of the frame to the right - my telescope's field of view is not big enough to capture them all.

M27, The Dumbbell Nebula183 viewsThe first planetary nebula to be discovered, the Dumbbell is 1227 light-years from Earth in the constellation Vulpecula.

Sh2-290 - Planetary Nebula in Cancer211 viewsAlso known as Abell 31 and PK 219+31.1. Ancient planetary nebula, about 2000 light-years away, one of the largest in the sky but very dim.Jul 10, 2025

Sh2-311 - Emission nebula in Puppis145 viewsSharpless 311 (Sh2-311, NGC 2467, Gum 9, LBN 1065 + 1067) is a bright nebula located approximately 20,500 light-years away in the constellation Puppis.Jul 10, 2025

Sharpless2-313 - Planetary Nebula in Hydra186 viewsAbout 400 light-years away. Also known as Abell 35 or PN G303.6+40.0.Jul 10, 2025

Sharpless2-180229 viewsDiffuse emission nebula in Cassiopeia, quite dimJul 10, 2025

NGC2359 - Thor's Helmet188 viewsAn emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major. About 12,000 light-years distant and 30 light-years in size. Associated with the Wolf-Rayet star WR7.Jul 10, 2025

M74, Spiral Galaxy in Pisces247 viewsGrand design spiral galaxy with two clearly defined spiral arms winding counterclockwise from center. About 32 million light-years distant.Jul 10, 2025

Messier 67 - Open cluster in Cancer200 viewsSometimes called King Cobra or Golden Eye Cluster. Distance 2600-2900 light-years. Estimated age 3.2 to 5 billion years.Jul 10, 2025

M44 - The Beehive Cluster220 viewsOpen cluster in the constellation Cancer. Around 600 light-years distant and 600 million years old.Jul 10, 2025
