UGC 9521 and UGC 9523 anchor the WBL 524 galaxy cluster located about 410 million light-years from us in the southeast corner of Bootes. NED lists the cluster...

I've had FGC 1785 on my to-do list for some time but at a low priority as it has only faint detail. Then I realized the field contained an unnamed (as far as...

This field in southeastern Canes Venatici contains a large group of galaxies at a distance of about 350 million light-years. 4 of them are bright enough to...

Abell 1314 is a rather nearby galaxy cluster in Ursa Major below the bowl of the Big Dipper asterism. That is if "nearby" is 460 million light-years. It is...

NGC 5584 is a rather low surface brightness galaxy in western Virgo 80 to 90 million light-years distant that is just about on the celestial equator. It is...

The area around the galaxy groups of NGC 4410 and NGC 4411 is a very galaxy dense region in Virgo but only 3 of the galaxies are likely members of the Virgo...

Every time I think I've seen the ultimate strange galaxy a new one to top it turns up. This one has the record for now. I knew it had a few strange dust...

NGC 210 has a bright core surrounded by rather faint spiral arms (although the galaxy is described as “bright� in Guide9), faintly reminiscent of M77 in...

NGC 6872 is a distorted galaxy in Pavus. I wonder if it’s small companion IC 4970 is the sole culprit for NGC 6872’s stretched arms. Taken from...

NGC 4536 is an interesting barred spiral in Virgo just above the celestial equator. It is thought to be a bit under 50 million light-years distant though its...

NGC 4535 is a Herschel 400 object and also a rather nice galaxy being a face on grand design barred spiral in Virgo and a member of the Virgo Cluster. William...

I love the photos posted here, been lurking for a long time. I recently bought a Canon SX50 and took this (handheld, 50 optical zoom) shot. The camera shoots...

Back in 2010 I imaged Arp 274 though didn't get it processed until May of 2011. I centered on Arp 274 not realizing a companion to these was just outside the...

NGC 4643, located in central Virgo about 77 million light-years distant, is, at first glance in most images, a rather normal but featureless barred spiral as...

The Tower of Babble bit me again. I reimaged Arp 175 without realizing it as I also had it under its IC numbers. This turned out to be a good thing however. ...

The NGC 3158 group is composed of 8 NGC galaxies and many others a bit over 300 million light-years distant by redshift. NGC 3158 is a huge Elliptical galaxy...

IC 614 is a ring galaxy about 480 million light-years distant in the constellation of Sextans. At that distance it is about 115,000 light-years in diameter. ...

NGC 3338 is a very large spiral under the belly of Leo the Lion about 76 million light-years distant by redshift. It is classed as SA(s)c. Besides the simple...

I had very good (but not perfect) seeing for this shot of NGC 7418. I have resized it down to 0.65�/pixels to hide noise a bit. Taken from Kiripotib farm...

NGC 3938 is a very photogenic, face on, many armed, blue spiral galaxy that is often imaged. It was discovered by William Herschel on April 27, 1785. It made...
