GN 21.00.4 is an orange reflection nebula in a molecular cloud 175. The area is sometimes known as LBN 552 though that is the nebula to the upper right. ...

We had some "clear" nights in February. Using "clear" because transpareny was really really bad, especially as low as NGC 3521 is hovering here at +52...

I did my yearly shot of Jupiter in February. Imaging planets is better for city dwellers anyway ;-) Especially if the sky always has bad transparency. The...

K 4-55 is a planetary nebula between the North American/Pelican Nebula complex and Deneb. I couldn't find a distance for it. It is a very red ring with an...

SH2-91 is part of a huge super nova remnant in Cygnus. The remnant is sometimes called Cygnus' other Veil Nebula. Like the Veil it is a shock wave bubble...

PN G049.4+02.4/M 4-12 among its many names is a rather distorted planetary nebula in northern Aquila. It's shape is likely due to distortions caused by its...

NGC 7081 is a peculiar galaxy in northern Aquarius. In fact the top 25% of the image is in Pegasus just east of its border with Equuleus. It is classified as...

NGC 446/IC 89 is a ring galaxy in southern Pisces about a quarter of a billion light-years distant. That would make it about 120,000 light-years in diameter a...

NGC 436 is a small tight open cluster in Cassiopeia near the far more famous ET/Owl cluster IC 457. Most sources put it about 9800 light-years from us. ...

NGC 7102 is a galaxy that seems to fit Arp's catagory for spirals with small, high surface brightness galaxy on an arm. The companion is LEDA 214783. The...

The WBL 706 galaxy group has three members. They are NGC7594, IC 5305 and the double galaxy of LEDA 1376799 and IC 5306 though IC 5306 is only a line of sight...

NGC 828 is a highly disturbed spiral with a huge dust lane. Most sources attribute these features to it being a merger in progress using several different...

Barnard 162 is another dark nebula Barnard recorded seen against in the star cluster and nebula known as IC 1396. It's listed position is a about 2.5 minutes...

NGC 7686 is an open star cluster in Andromeda. It was discovered by William Herschel on December 3, 1787. It's Trumpler class is IV1p. That translates into...

Sorry for the double post. I grabbed the wrong files. Now posting the correct ones. Rick _____________ Barnard 160 is located in the star cluster/emission...

LBN 477 is also sometimes known as vdB156d. As such it's illuminating star is thought to be Omicron Andromedae about 1.3 degrees to the northwest. It is...

Barnard 160 is located in the star cluster/emission nebula IC 1396 that contains the famous Elephant trunk Nebula in southern Cetus. While it obviously lies...

Just for fun another picture from the beginning of September with the unmodified Fuji X-A1. After my Namibia holidays (where the camera only had to do some...

I just noticed I used the wrong red flat when processing this image. It had a dust not that the image didn't have so it made a red ring in the eastern end of...
