A Serious Setup on the Upper Pads657 viewsA very nice TEC refractor on an Astro-Physics mount; both the main and guide scopes have white-light solar filters.

Going, going...656 viewsWe didn't get to see the end of the transit because it occurred after sunset in our location.

Messier 61 - Face-on Barred Spiral Galaxy in Virgo656 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.

M95 and M96653 viewsTwo Spiral Galaxies in Leo, captured in the same frame

IC1848 - The Soul Nebula, narrowband version653 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.

NGC 6946 - Fireworks Galaxy and Friends652 viewsAn alternate view of the Fireworks Galaxy featuring a neighbor, the open star cluster NGC 6939, near the lower edge of the image.

M8, The Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius651 viewsAn emission nebula lying 4000-6000 years from Earth. Also designated NGC 6523. An HII star-forming region. Contains the open cluster NGC 6530.

My Setup on the Upper Pads647 viewsI set up where I could get a good view of the Sun all the way from first contact to sunset.

Messier 100 and companions647 viewsSpiral Galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices. Surrounded by tiny satellite galaxies NGC 4323 and NGC 4328 (about 3 o'clock and 5:30). Larger spiral galaxy at top is NGC 4312.

M17, the Swan Nebula (nasrrowband)646 viewsAlso known as Omega. Checkmark, Lobster and Horseshoe Nebula. 5,000 to 6,000 light-years away and 15 light-years across. Prolific star-forming region.

First contact plus 4-1/2 hours - White Light View645 viewsFor the last act I switched to a mylar white-light filter, just for a change of pace.

M51- The Whirlpool Galaxy645 viewsThere are actually two interacting galaxies here; the smaller companion is NGC 5195, and the two have collided in the past, causing all kinds of woe and grief. They are about 25 million light years away.
