NGC1499-20151107.jpg
NGC 1499 - The California Nebula584 viewsAn emission nebula in the constellation Perseus, so called because it resembles the State of California in shape (though not in this image). About 1000 light-years from Earth.
M20_20220625_RGB2.jpg
M20 - The Trifid Nebula584 viewsA combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (the lower, red portion), a reflection nebula (the upper, blue portion) and a dark nebula (which accounts for the gaps dividing the nebula into lobes). About 5000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius.

First contact plus ~45 minutes583 viewsAbout 3/4 through pre-totality.
M33-20160930.jpg
M33 - The Triangulum Galaxy582 viewsAbout 3 million light-years away, this is the third-largest member of the Local Group, which includes M31 and the Milky Way.
M61_20220522_LRGB2C.jpg
Messier 61 - Face-on Barred Spiral Galaxy in Virgo582 viewsOne of the largest members of the Virgo Cluster, M61 is a starburst galaxy, i.e. it has an unusually high rate of star formation, with an active galactic nucleus that features a massive nuclear star cluster and a supermassive black hole. It is about 53 million light-years away from Earth.

Messier 104 - The Sombrero Galaxy582 viewsUnique spiral galaxy 31 million light-years from Earth on the border of the constellations Virgo and Corvus. It has a bright nucleus, an unusually large central bulge, and a prominent dust lane in its outer disk.

IC405 - The Flaming Star Nebula in Auriga581 viewsNarrowband view of an emission and reflection nebula in the constellation Auriga north of the celestial equator, surrounding the bluish, irregular variable star AE Aurigae. About 1500 light-years away.
NGC1848-20221028-RRGB3.jpg
IC1848 - The Soul Nebula, narrowband version581 viewsNarrowband rendition of the Soul Nebula, captured using an IDAS NBZ nebula enhancement filter, with H-alpha emissions in red and O-III emissions in blue.

Messier 67 - Open cluster in Cancer580 viewsSometimes called King Cobra or Golden Eye Cluster. Distance 2600-2900 light-years. Estimated age 3.2 to 5 billion years.
NGC2359_20220123_LRGB1D.jpg
NGC 2359 - Thor's Helmet578 viewsAn emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major; about 12,000 light-years away. Consists largely of interstellar gas swept up by the central star, and partly of material from the star itself, which is an extremely hot, massive Wolf-Rayet star in a short-lived pre-supernova stage.

The winter garment of Repentance fling;
The Bird of Time hath but a little way to fly
And Lo! The Bird is on the wing!
