Whiting 1 isn't much of a globular cluster. It certainly won't win any photogenic awards but it is quite interesting. Most globular clusters are about 10...

NGC 7183 is a peculiar red galaxy in southwestern Aquarius about 110 million light-years distant. It is well below my normal imaging area where seeing is poor...

The site erased the images trying again. I uploaded them, checked them then they were gone when the post was posted. Usually a second attempt works. ...

NGC 218 is the western member of an interacting pair of galaxies. It is also known as PGC 2720. Problem is most sources, including The Sky and the NGC...

NGC 6764 is a barred spiral in Cygnus only a couple minutes of arc from the border with Draco. It is about 100 million light-years distant by both redshift...

IC 5337 and 5338 form the core of the Abell 2626 galaxy cluster. The cluster is located almost dead center in the Great Square of Pegasus and is about 720...

NGC 609 is a type II3r open cluster in Cassiopeia about 13,000 light-years distant according to WEBDA. They put its age at about 1.7 billion years making it a...

NGC 6789 is a small irregular galaxy in eastern Draco about 11 to 12 million light-years distant. This was determined by the Tip of the Red Giant Branch...

NGC 7127 is listed as an open cluster in northeastern Cygnus. I'd normally give a distance at this point but my research turned up nothing but confusion. I...

NGC 1343 is a barred spiral in far eastern Cassiopeia. So far east the very eastern end of it is in Camelopardalis. Non red shift measurements place it about...

Mrk 331 is a Luminous Infra Red Galaxy in the Great Square of Pegasus about 240 million light-years distant by red shift, 160 million light-years by Tully...

NGC 6856 is a star group located in Northern Cygnus. It was discovered by John Herschel on September 24, 1829. I can't tell you how distant it is. There is...

NGC 7146 and 7147 are the largest galaxies in a group of galaxies about 400 million light-years from us in southwestern Pegasus. Both appear to be red and...

NGC 6255 is a low surface brightness barred spiral galaxy toward the upper middle of the keystone of Hercules about 42 million light-years distant by redshift....

IC 1495/5327 is a peculiar galaxy in southeastern Aquarius. It is about 270 million light-years by red shift and 260 million light-years by Tully-Fisher...

NGC 1421 is a strange near edge on galaxy in northern Eridanus about 90 million light-years distant by redshift and 83 by Tully-Fisher measurement. It has high...

Rick, you captured a lot of details in these tiny galaxies. Amazing we can see them colliding at that distance. Stefan "WA0CKY" schrieb im Newsbeitrag...

Abell 2593-N is the northern part of the much larger Abell 2593 cluster. Oddly the center of the full cluster is NGC 7649 which is also close to the center of...

NGC 753 is a nice three armed spiral that is a member of the Abell 262 galaxy cluster. While the cluster has a radius of about 1.75 degrees and NGC 753+ is...

NGC 6793 is an open cluster in western Vulpecula about 3,600 light-years distant according to WEBDA. It is rather young at 440 million years of age. Still...
