Messier 24 - "Small" Sagittarius Star Cloud10 viewsMessier 24 is an enormous cloud of stars lying in the Sagittarius arm of our galaxy, at a distance of about 10,000 light years from Earth. It is about 600 light years wide and occupies an area 90 arc minutes in apparent diameter. Among other objects, M24 contains the open cluster NGC 6603, which is at the center of this image. M24 is called the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud because there is another, larger star cloud south of it in Sagittarius, consisting of stars not obscured by the interstellar dust which blocks our view of the center of the galaxy.

NGC 7009 - The Saturn Nebula10 viewsA planetary nebula in the constellation Aquarius, at a distance of about 5000 light-years, with a superficial resemblance to the planet Saturn. This image does not do it justice, because a much larger telescope is required to resolve the complex internal structure of the nebula.

Markarian's Chain10 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.
