M106-20170420.jpg
Messier 106 and companions676 viewsThe large spiral galaxy at left is M106, lying at a distance of 22 to 25 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici. A myriad of other galaxies are in the frame, of which the two most prominent are NGC 4248 (closest to M106) and NGC 4217 (disk at right).

Of Africa the gilded sand
And evening vanish and no more
The low pale light across that land

IC2177 - The Parrot Nebula676 viewsUsually known as the Seagull Nebula, but to me it looks more like a parrot. An HII region lying along the border between Canis Major and Monoceros.

The earthy chill of dusk and slow
Upon those under lands the vast
And ever climbing shadow grow

Partial Phase - One Hour before Totality673 viewsSecond Contact minus 59 minutes, 19 seconds
NGC7635_20210905_LHaRGB1~0.jpg
NGC7635 - The Bubble Nebula - H-alpha enhanced version673 viewsAn emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a hot, massive star within a molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble, preventing it from dissipating, and is also itself excited by the star. The nebula is 7 light years across and 7100 light-years away.
