VII Zw 140 is described as a "Blue post-eruptive multiple (elliptical) ring spiral, with compact elliptical core" according to the CGPG. Though it is slightly...

NGC 1507 made my list as a Herschel 400 II observing program galaxy, one I've not looked at visually. If it hadn't have been about -30°C I'd have run out and...

This field is located in northern Eridanus. It consists of 3 NGC galaxies and one IC galaxy. Various sources group them differently. Some consider the two...

NGC 6670 was honoured by a great Hubble picture that can be found with the help of big brother Google. This pair looks less impressive in my image, but they...

NGC 2194 is an open cluster just east of Orion's club about 12,000 light years away. That makes it 35 to 46 light-years in diameter depending on whose size...

IC 200 is a nice, overlooked, barred spiral in triangulum about 230 million light-years away. It is classed as an SBbc spiral that may house an active...

NGC 2163 is described as being a bipolar reflection nebula. It is associated with the pre-main sequence emission line star LkHA 208 at its center. Apparently...

IC 359 is a strange galaxy in Taurus about 180 million light-years distant. It is classified as E or S0? depending on the source. Only problem is that it has...

NGC 2748 is a polar ring spiral galaxy locate in Camelopardalis just west of Draco's tail. It is a medium size spiral about 66,000 light-years across assuming...

The reflection nebula vdB62 is illuminated by the Herbig-Bell star HD 288313. These are young A or hotter stars with emission lines. They are also called...

It's a bonus when I can get two strange objects in one field. This possibility is why I invested in as large of a chip as was available at the time I bought...

I still haven't processed all my Namibia images from last August and have not even posted all of those that I have processed. Here is NGC 289, a galaxy with...

Barnard 12/LDN 1407 is a dark nebula in southern Camelopardalis that just fits my field of view. While it blocks background stars quite well it doesn't seem...

Embedded links for words and phrases are pure advertising bull put in by SpaceBanter and beyond my control. I did not put them in SpaceBanter does this and...

NGC 2500 is a nearby low surface brightness face on spiral galaxy in central Lynx. NED classifies it as SB(rs)d with HII emission. The NGC project says SAB....

NGC 765 is a rather low surface brightness face on spiral once you get beyond the central area. It is located in northwestern Aries about 220 million...

As usual. All embedded links are spam and have absolutely nothing to do with astronomy or my post. Please ignore the crapola. IC 284 is a rather low surface...

IC 1551 makes the previous posts galaxy NGC 765, at 250,000 light-years seem a dwarf. IC 1551, located in Pisces at a distance of some 570,000 million...

FGC 163/NGC 522 is a flat galaxy in central Pisces about 110 million light-years away by redshift. Other measurements have a mean value of 130 million...

Kkh 24 is a rather obscured galaxy in northern Cepheus only 4 degrees from the pole and 3.5 degrees from Polaris. It resides in a molecular cloud that looks...
