NGC 6338 is the cD galaxy anchoring the SDSS-C4-DR3 3152 galaxy cluster. The cluster contains some 83 members about 400 million light-years away near the...

Another PN imaged in Namibia, this time in the constellation of the fly. NGC 5189 Date May 31 2011 Location Kiripotib, Namibia Meade 14" ACF at 2340mm focal...

Here's a picture with the 14" Meade ACF at Kiripotib farm in Namibia, showing the "bug nebula" NGC 6302 in the southern part of Scorpius. I took a series of...

Did it again, grabbed the first try at processing it, not the last try. Why I keep these around I don't know. Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it...

Sh2-82 is often called the Little Cocoon which it does resemble with the inner emission region and halo of reflection blue though it is much fainter and...

Image made telephoto F = 300mm f/2,8 + ccd ST-10XME Image...

I've had several two fer images for Arp galaxies, now it is a two fer for Arp-like galaxies. One I imaged intentionally, the other snuck in...

I'm taking a rather long break from Arp galaxies as all the summer ones are already done. That doesn't mean an end to interesting, but rarely imaged...

Arp66/UGC 10396 falls under Arp's category: "Spiral galaxies with small high surface brightness companions on arms." I assume the "companion" Arp is...

I forgot to mention that my previous post of the colliding galaxies, Arp 209 was taken July 8, 2010 so I'm now officially less than a year behind. Not sure...

Arp 209/NGC 6052/64 is a rather well studied Luminous IR galaxy. To me it is simply a mess of galaxy parts in Hercules, just north of the famous galaxy...

Arp 220/IC 4553 is the closest known Ultra Luminous Infra Red Galaxy (ULIRG) known and one of the brightest. Though all this was unknown at the time of...

Arp 91/NGC 5953-4 is a well studied pair of interacting galaxies in Serpens Caput about 100 million light-years distant. Arp put them in his category for...

SN2011ck was discovered by Jack Newton and Tim Puckett May 12 at magnitude 15.9. I imaged it June 2 and get a magnitude of 16.6. The image was taken on...

I had two weeks of mostly clear skies in Namibia, only the last two nights hat thin clouds and one of the previous nights was cloudy for one hour (between 3...

Arp 90/NGC 5929-30 is an interacting pair of galaxies about 120 million light-years away in the constellation of Bootes. Arp put it in his classification...

Arp 254 is a pair of interacting galaxies, NGC 5917 (MCG -01-39-002) and MCG -01-39-003. They are located in Libra, about 96 million light-years away. Arp...

I spend most of the night at the LAS James Baker observatory last night, and got a few good images. Here is the one good image I got of the supernova in...

-- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

I can't seem to grab the right image. Trying to do too many things at once. Cleaning up a lot of downed trees and torn apart chimney from high winds while...
