M1 - The Crab Nebula196 viewsRemnant of a supernova observed by the Chinese in 1054 AD. Found in the constellation Taurus, about 6500 light-years from Earth.Jun 23, 2019
IC1848-20181014.jpg
IC 1848 - The Soul Nebula266 viewsAn emission nebula in Cassiopeia, eastern neighbor of the Heart Nebula, IC 1805. About 6,500 light-years away, it spans 100 light-years, and is too big at that distance to fit into my telescope's field of view, so only part of it is seen here.Jun 23, 2019

IC 1805 - The Heart Nebula in Cassiopeia206 viewsIC 1805, the Heart Nebula, lies 7,500 light-years away from Earth in the Perseus arm of the Milky Way. It is an emission nebula, drawing its radiance from Melotte 15, the cluster of bright stars in the center of this image.Jun 23, 2019
M17-20160625.jpg
M17 - The Swan Nebula233 viewsIn the constellation Sagittarius. Also known as the Omega or Horseshoe Nebula. A prolific star-forming region, lying 5000-6000 years from Earth.Jun 22, 2019
NGC2903-20170302-NRC.jpg
NGC 2903 - Spiral Galaxy in Leo267 viewsA barred spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo the Lion; a member of the Virgo supercluster.Jun 22, 2019
NGC7635-20140823c2.jpg
NGC 7635 - The Bubble Nebula257 viewsEmission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. The bubble is created by the stellar wind from a hot, young star. Jun 21, 2019

NGC 6946 - Fireworks Galaxy and Friends212 viewsAn alternate view of the Fireworks Galaxy featuring a neighbor, the open star cluster NGC 6939, near the lower edge of the image.Jun 20, 2019
NGC6946-20160830.jpg
NGC 6946 - The Fireworks Galaxy236 viewsA face-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Cepheus, near its border with Cygnus, about 1/3 to 1/2 as big as the Milky Way, but with a high rate of star formation, making it a spectacular starburst galaxy. About 25 million light-years from Earth and 40,000 light-years in diameter.Jun 20, 2019
NG457-_20150822.jpg
NGC 457 - The Owl Cluster246 viewsAn open star cluster in the constellation Cassiopeia, about 7,900 light-years distance from our Solar System. The "eyes" are the magnitude 5 star Phi-1 Cassiopeiae and magnitude 7 Phi-2 Cassiopeiae.Jun 20, 2019
M45-20121014.jpg
M45 - The Pleiades210 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.Jun 19, 2019
