Home > Astronomical Images Last additions - Astronomical Images M15 - Globular cluster in Pegasus246 viewsContaining over 100,000 stars, 175 light-years in diameter, 33,600 light years from Earth. This is one of the oldest (12 billion years) and most densely packed globulars in the Milky Way.Sep 14, 2020 Comet 2020/F3 NEOWISE342 viewsConditions for photographing Comet NEOWISE from my observatory near Anza, California were less than ideal. The comet was visible only in the northwest for a couple hours after sunset, at most, which put it squarely in the Los Angeles light dome. Another factor involved was the inexperience of the photographer - I hadn't done any night shooting with my DSLR before and I never got the camera focused properly, so the stars came out somewhat bloated and fuzzy. They also show some coma, I don't know why. But at least the comet itself came out reasonably well.Aug 23, 2020 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.Jun 23, 2020 M95 and M96220 viewsTwo Spiral Galaxies in Leo, captured in the same frame Mar 22, 2020 IC 5067 - The Pelican Nebula254 viewsAn emission nebula (H-II region) in the constellation Cygnus, associated with the North American Nebula (NGC 7000), but visually separated from it by a dark dust cloud. Supposedly has the shape of a pelican, though not very much in this image.
