Trumpler 5 is an open-cluster in Monoceros about 10,000 light-years away. It is a bit over a degree west of the Cone Nebula so often seen in a wide field...

I'm jumping out of order here. Normally I post in order taken (FIFO) which means I'm processing and posting February images. But I took an image in late May...

This pair in Draco is one of the last nice spring galaxies before summer galaxy drought. This means that I have imaged them before, but only in b/w. I...

I imaged NGC 4236 in five nights in April. As it is quite low at +2deg declination I took all frames with 2x2 binning to avoid oversampling. With the...

Mighty image Rick. This is indeed a beauty and the detail you have captured is breathtaking. This one is on my list as a duo with NGC 3027, but having...

Another one from April. April was OK for astronomy, but among quite a lot of "clear" nights there was a considerable percentage of partly clouded nights or...

NGC 5300 is a rather low surface brightness, slightly barred spiral in Virgo about 67 million light-years from us by red shift and 75 million light-years by...

IC 421 and VV 848 are a pair of interesting but unrelated galaxies either of which could have easily made Arp's atlas of peculiar galaxies. The field is...

IC 466/Sh2-288 is a small emission nebula in central MonoceroS. I found three different distance estimates. TWo say 3000 parsecs (about 10,000 light-years)...

It did it again. The image load page shows they went in, I even looked at them in preview mode but when posted they aren't there. Trying again. Also I have...

UGC 6955 aka Zwicky 2 is an IB(s)m: galaxy in southeastern Ursa Major about 54 million light-years distant by redshift and 57 million light-years by Tully...

I just posted this but when it came up the images were gone even though I'm still looking at the attachment page. I'm trying again. Sorry for the repeat. I...

NGC 3906 s a SB(s)d spiral about 54 million light-years distant in Ursa Major about 5 degrees south of far more famous M 109. The UGC describes it as:...

Barnard 13 is listed in SIMBAD as being 0.07x0.13 minutes in size which makes no sense and the position is east of the dark nebula complex normally associated...

NGC 4217 is an edge on galaxy often seen in wide field shots of M106 but deserving of being imaged for itself though this is rarely done for some reason. It is...

This is a reprocess of an image taken back in 2009. My processing toolkit was limited as was my ability to use what tools I had. So it was time to redo it...

This field is located in Taurus about 4 degrees southeast of M45 and thus in some of the outer nebulosity the cluster is passing through. My image scale is...

NGC 3115 is one of two galaxies known as the Spindle Galaxy. It is located in Sextans about 10 megaparsecs distant (about 31.6 million light years. Though...

When I went to upload this I got an error message so trying again. _____________ NGC 2748 is a polar ring spiral galaxy locate in Camelopardalis just west of...

NGC 5504 is a nice little spiral in Bootes. I imaged it for two nights of which one measured at SQM-L 19.3, which is the best I have had so far in...
