UGC 00240 is a spiral with a long tidal tail. Unfortunately it was taken the night I left the light on in the observatory. One hit the corrector plate...

VdB 144 is a very faint reflection nebula around an orange K0III star. Usually these are found around blue giant stars not orange giant ones though it is so...

VdB 143 is a reflection nebula in a very dust region of Cepheus. My short exposure time didn't pick up much of the dust well enough to display it so I...

Perseus 2/KKH 12 is a likely member of the Maffei1 group of nearby galaxies hidden by our galaxies dust and gas. It is located on the east northeastern edge...

M2-48/Hen 2-449/PK 062-00 1/PN G062.4-00.2 among other designations is a small planetary nebula in Vulpecula near the far more famous M27. I found two very...

Parsamyan 21/Parsamian 21 is a reflection nebula caused by the outflow from the young FU Orionis star HBC 687. Coming from its south end is the Herbig Haro...

NGC 7332 and 7339 are a pair of very different galaxies in Pegasus about 40 million light-years away. NGC 7332 is classed as S0 pec by NED and S0 by the NGC...

vdB 124 is a reflection nebula around the star HD 170740 in Scutum about 700 light years away. It is the central part of the larger reflection nebula IC...

NGC 206 is a large star cloud in M31 much like the much smaller M24 in our galaxy. Some time ago I did a high resolution image of C179, a much smaller star...

UGC 11634 is a double galaxy on the nose of Delphinus the dolphin that is about 240 million light-years distant. A "bright" 12th magnitude double star hides...

vdB 157 is a reflection nebula in northern Cepheus around the star HD 217903. It is a B9V star in the Cepheus Flare, a huge nearby giant molecular cloud...

Abell 48/Pk 29+0.1 is a very red planetary nebula in eastern Aquila just above Scutum, right in the heart of the Milky Way. One estimate of its distance put...

NGC 7265 is an S0^- galaxy in Lacerta about 220 million light-years from us by redshift. It seems to have a lot of spiral structure for an S0- galaxy. It...

ABELL 70/PK 38-25.1/PN G038.1-25.4 is a planetary nebula in southeastern Aquila. The distance to it is rather vague. One paper (URL below) cites two...

PK 030+06.1 is a planetary nebula better known as Sh2-68 in Serpens Cauda. It is "A Planetary Nebula Leaving it's Mark on the Interstellar Medium" as one...

The Cygnus Loop is a huge bubble of gas blown by a super nova some 15,000 years ago about 2600 light-years from us according to the HST website. APOD says...

vdB 123/GN 18.27.9 is a very blue reflection nebula in Serpens Caudia about 836 light-years distant. This is based on The Sky's distance for the...

SH2-132/LBN 473 is an emission nebula in southern Cepheus. Galaxy map puts its distance as a bit over 10,000 light-years. It is usually seen in narrow band...

II Zw 174/NGC 7241 is a very strange edge on galaxy in Pegasus about 50 million light-years from us by redshift. The CGPG says of it: "Edge-on spiral,...
