M45-20121014.jpg
M45 - The Pleiades663 viewsA star cluster consisting of young, hot blue stars, about 130 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus. Only part of the cluster is shown here because it is too large to fit in the scope's field of view.
Sh2-9_20230708_v4.jpg
Sharpless2-9 - Emission nebula in Scorpius698 viewsThere is also an area of reflection nebula (blue) around the star Sigma Scorpii, but the processing of this version doesn't reveal it very well. The globular cluster M4 is also in the field of view.

IC4603 - Core of the Rho Ophiuchi Complex771 viewsThis blue reflection nebula glows by the light of the 7.9 magnitude star SAO184376 in the center.
M31_20230914_LPF_v1.jpg
M31 - The Andromeda Galaxy723 viewsBarred spiral galaxy, 152,000 light-years in diameter and 2.5 million light-years from Earth.
NGC6946-20160902.jpg
NGC 6946 - Fireworks Galaxy and Friends682 viewsAn alternate view of the Fireworks Galaxy featuring a neighbor, the open star cluster NGC 6939, near the lower edge of the image.
