14" LX200R @ f/10, L=4x10' RGB=1x10' (all I can do this time of the year), STL-11000XM, Paramount ME Old Ha data added 20% to blue 80% to red Rick --...

Let's try that with the subject filled in. Note to those with clear skies -- that's not me no matter what the lying Clear Sky Chart says -- There's a bright...

Note to those with clear skies -- that's not me -- There's a bright SN in M51 -- go for it. http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/sn2005/sn2005cs.html Rick --...

Arp 241/UGC 9425 is sometimes known as Segner's Wheel. Looks more like spinning tadpoles to me. It is located in central Bootes at a distance of about 475...

The super nova is the bright star above the core of the center galaxy. See the annotated image. SN2011by was discovered by Zhangwei Jin and Xing Gao (China)...

Arp 64/UGC 9503 consists of three of the four galaxies that make up UGC 9503. They are located in Bootes about 434 million light-years away. Arp put them...

Arp 115/UGC 6678 is a triple galaxy about 440 million-light years distant located in the very northeast corner of Leo. Arp put it in his category of...

Back from traveling to our daughter's wedding in Nebraska and not "raptured" I have to continue processing the more than 120 images still to be processed on...

Just a quick one before I head off for the airport to catch my flight to Namibia (astro holidays): On March 7 I imaged a galaxy-group including NGC 3972 and...

Another two-fer image. I'll start with Arp 177 since it is near the center of the image. At the time I didn't realize Arp 302 was also in the field or I'd...

Arp 95 is a triple galaxy system located in Bootes about 425 million light-years from us. Arp put these three under Galaxies with companions on arms:...

Arp 49/NGC 5665 is in Bootes. It's distance is a bit difficult to pin down. Redshift puts it about 113 million light-years distant but a recent...

Arp 280/NGC 3769 is a pair of probably interacting galaxies in Ursa Major at a distance of 50 million light-years. Red shift puts it a bit closer at 44. It...

Note: I meant run this one before Arp 177-302 but its text file turned up lost on the hard drive. I had Arp 177-302 virtually finished and since a quick...

Hi all, in this galaxy with a telescope of about 1 meter focal is possible to photograph open clusters and globular clusters (candidate) of NGC 2403: you see...

Arp 45 is two or three or four galaxies 400 million light-years distant in the northwest corner of Bootes. Arp put it in is category for spirals with low...

Another 2 fer deal on Arp Atlas entries. Most of them are completely unrelated objects that happen to be in the same field. Not this time. Arp 33 is part...

On a recent outing to decent skies (April 9, with a about 1/3rd full moon that would be no problem from my rooftop terrace but was obviously brightening the...

Arp 178 consists of three galaxies NGC 5613 (upper), NGC 5614 (lower) and NGC 5615 (inside NW halo of NGC 5614). These are located in the constellation of...

Arp 69/NGC 5579 is located in Bootes. By redshift it is about 173 million light-years distant. By Tully-Fisher it is only 115 million light-years away. ...
