NGC 1346 is an interesting lower-luminosity infrared galaxy (LLIRG) in Eridanus about 180 million light-years away. Some sources say it is a Seyfert 1...

UGCA 105/PGC 016957 is a galaxy in the Maffei 1 group. It is located in Camelopardalis. The Maffei 1 group is thought to be about 10 million light-years...

In April, 2013 I ran an image taken in July, 2012 of SH2-88. At the time I'd recorded it under its LBN notation of LBN 139. Color data, especially green...

VdB 149 is a small part of a much larger dust cloud illuminated by the star BD+72 1018. According to The Sky's database it is about 1000 light-years from...

VdB 150, along with vdB 149 (taken later in October) are reflection nebulae in central Cepheus that are part of a single huge molecular cloud lit by bright...

Arp 163/Haro 09/NGC 4670 is a SB(s)0/a pec: BCDG galaxy in coma Berenices. BCDG means Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy. If the distance is 60 million light-years...

VdB 140 is a rather featureless reflection nebula illuminated by the star SAO 33288 with a parallax that puts it some 2500 light-years away. It is located...

NGC 7160 as a rather coarse open cluster in Cepheus about 2570 light-years distant and 19 million years old according to WEBDA. Using a different source...

vdB 145/GN 21.41.8.03 is a small reflection nebula around the star 8th magnitude F2II-III or A7 star HD 206887 in northeastern Cygnus. I was surprised to...

IC 334 is a very disturbed galaxy in northwestern Camelopardalis near its borders with Cepheus and Cassiopeia. Redshift puts it about 113 million...

NGC 959 is a spiral galaxy in Triangulum. It's distance is an unknown, at least to any degree of accuracy. Redshift puts it at only 17 million light-years....

I took this area of the sky several years ago but wasn't happy with the color so gave it another try though the clouds did another number on it the result is...

I originally imaged Arp 142 back in January of 2009. It has been on my reprocess list for some time now. The Space Telescope Science Institute that runs...

C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) was a nice comet in the second week of March. Unfortunately my lousy weather and neighbor's trees prevented me from imaging it until...

Name HW Object is part of the Herbig-Haro object HH 168. It is a bubble in the Cepheus A star forming cloud about 2300 light-years distant. It is located...

The possible planetary nebula Abell 79 is located in Lacerta. I found three different distance estimates for it, 5800, 4200 and 3250+/-500 light-years. ...

NGC 6834 is an open cluster in Vulpecula that fits my limited field of view. I took it more of a test of a new method I thought up of better pulling a...

Sh2-165 is a rather faint emission nebula Cassiopeia 1.75 degrees east of M52. It is likely part of the Cas OB5 supershell. I found three different...

I originally posted this image back in April 2008. There were processing issues with it as well as not having an annotated image for this very crowded...

On May 31 at 20:59 UT asteroid (285263) 1998 QE2 passed within about 3.6 million miles of the Earth. It was daylight here and the asteroid below my horizon....
