Cosmic Island Galaxy NGC 210 thumbnail
23-Nov-2023
NGC 210 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus, situated roughly 70 million light-years from Earth. In this photograph, the galaxy's grand design is evident, with its pronounced spiral arms and central bulge standing out amidst a sea of stars. The spiral arms, speckled with regions of star formation, trace out from the bright core, while dark lanes of interstellar dust crisscross the galaxy, adding depth and contrast to the scene.

Little Gem Nebula NGC6818 thumbnail
03-Jul-2022
Perhaps too small of an object for amateur equipment to tease out any details, I decided to try my luck on the Little Gem Nebula. NGC 6818 is roughly 6000 light-years away from Earth. The glow of the cloud is just over half a light-year across.

Wishing Well Cluster thumbnail
16-Jun-2022
First Calalogued in 1752, the NGC 3532, also known as the Wishing Well Cluster is an open cluster comprised of approximately 150 stars. It was also the first object ever observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. The bright orange star in the top right of the image is x Carinae (x Car), the brightest yellow hypergiant in the sky - 200,000 times as luminous as the Sun.

Barred Double Ring Spiral Galaxy NGC 1398 thumbnail

NGC 1398 is a barred spiral galaxy with double ring structure 65 million light years distant.

NGC6872 Galactic Group thumbnail
29-Apr-2022
With more than 16 galaxies in one very narrow field of view, the elliptical galaxy NGC6876 is centered, interacting with NGC6877. In the bottom right, the spiral arms of NGC6872 are spread out by the interaction with IC4970

Lyon Group of Galaxies 455 thumbnail

This interacting trio of galaxies is known as the Lyon Group of Galaxies 455, made up of the galaxies NGC 7233 (middle), NGC 7232 (upper), and NGC 7232B (right).

The Bubble Galaxy thumbnail
10-Aug-2021
NGC 3521 is a flocculent spiral galaxy located 26 million light-years away from Earth

Spiral Galaxy NGC 5068 thumbnail
23-Jul-2021
NGC 5068 is a seldom photographed face-on galaxy sporting a bright central bar with diffuse spiral arms containing areas of pink hydrogen nebulosity and star-forming regions.

Spiral Galaxy NGC 5084 thumbnail
12-Jun-2021
Categorised as a supermassive disk galaxy, at a distance of 80 million light years and 200,000 light years across, NGC 5084 is one of the largest galaxies in the Virgo Supercluster. Seen edge on, the warped disk is a result of stealing material from nearby satellite galaxies.

Red Spider Nebula thumbnail

The Red Spider Nebula (also catalogued as NGC 6537) is a planetary nebula located near the heart of the Milky Way.

Spiral Galaxy NGC 6744 thumbnail
21-Nov-2020
NGC 6744 (Caldwell 101) is a spiral galaxy about 31 million light-years away, tilted towards our line of sight. It is thought to be one of the most Milky Way-like spiral galaxies in our immediate vicinity. It also has at least one distorted companion galaxy similar to the Magellanic Clouds.

Reflection Nebula NGC 2626 thumbnail
17-Jun-2020
NGC 2626 is a seldom photographed, spectacular reflection nebula in a sea of hydrogen emission clouds.

Starburst Galaxy NGC 1808 thumbnail
04-Jun-2020
NGC 1808 has an unusual, warped shape. Most spiral galaxies are flat disks, but this one has curls of dust and gas at its outer spiral arms.

Sculptor Galaxy thumbnail
23-Nov-2019
The Sculptor Galaxy, also known as the Silver Coin or Silver Dollar Galaxy, NGC 253, is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. The Sculptor Galaxy is a starburst galaxy, which means that it is currently undergoing a period of intense star formation.

Tidal Shells of NGC 474 thumbnail
07-Nov-2019
Perhaps too tough of a target for light polluted skies, elliptical galaxy NGC 474 still managed to show some tidal tails / shells from interacting with the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 470.
