Messier 12, Globular Cluster in Ophiuchus689 viewsAbout 16,400 light years from Earth; diameter about 75 light-years. It is loosely packed and has an unusually small number of low-mass stars.

NGC 7000, North American Nebula, Cygnus Wall603 viewsThe Cygnus Wall is a section of the North American Nebula, but it doesn't resemble the Florida-like structure usually seen with NGC7000 because the filter used for this photo gives a different view than regular broadband shots.

NGC 869 and 884 - The Double Cluster in Perseus602 viewsOver 7500 light-years away, these twin open clusters each contain over 300 blue-white supergiant stars; they are about 13 million years old.

NGC4565 - The Needle Galaxy640 viewsGigantic edge-on spiral galaxy in Coma Berenices, twice as luminous as the Andromeda Galaxy. 40 million light-years from Earth. Satellite galaxy NGC 4562 is shown at lower right.

Messier 63 - The Sunflower Galaxy561 viewsAt a distance of 37 million light-years in the constellation Canes Venatici, M63 is known as the Sunflower Galaxy because of its bright yellow core (not so obvious in this image). At 98,000 light-years diameter, in is similar in size to the Milky Way.

NGC7000 - The North American Nebula678 viewsNarrowband image of an H-II emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus; only part of the nebula is visible since it is too large to fit entirely in the field of view of the telescope. 2,590 light-years distant and 90 light-years across.

The Horsehead Nebula in Orion701 viewsThe Horsehead Nebula, Barnard 33, is a dark nebula, silhouetted against the bright emission nebula IC 434. The large blue object to the left of IC 434 is a reflection nebula, NGC 2023. They are all found near the star Alnitak, the easternmost star in Orion's belt, which is off the frame to the right, and are 1400 light-years from Earth.

Sharpless2-180706 viewsDiffuse emission nebula in Cassiopeia, quite dim

Sh2-290 - Planetary Nebula in Cancer683 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 Puppis653 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 Hydra687 viewsAbout 400 light-years away. Also known as Abell 35 or PN G303.6+40.0.Jul 10, 2025

Sharpless2-180706 viewsDiffuse emission nebula in Cassiopeia, quite dimJul 10, 2025

NGC2359 - Thor's Helmet668 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 Pisces667 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 Cancer664 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 Cluster636 viewsOpen cluster in the constellation Cancer. Around 600 light-years distant and 600 million years old.Jul 10, 2025
