NGC 1073 is a nearby barred spiral in Cetus about 1.4 degrees north of M77. It is about 45 to 50 million light-years distant as best as I could determine. ...

NGC 7656 is too below my normal cut off as seeing down this low is rarely sufficient. The night I took this was no exception. It is so strange I had to try...

NGC 7013 is a rather nice spiral galaxy that is often overlooked since it hides in plain sight but in a constellation not known for galaxies -- Cygnus the...

It's nice when two from my to-do list fit into one frame. I didn't realize it when I shot this. I thought I was only getting UZC J211152.4+111637 (Updated...

M33 on 10 September 2012 from my backyard 28 miles south of Washington DC. TOA150 at F/7.3. STL11000M, 5x10 min L, 2x10min RGBHa. Reduced 50% and croped.

Gyulbudaghian's Nebula is a highly variable nebula lit up by PV Cephi. The star is also the source of HH-215. No two images of this one look the same. ...

I have two more planetary nebulae from August. The first is NGC 7139. I probably should have spent a second night on this object, it is much fainter than NGC...

The last of my August planetary nebulae was Abell 79. Images in the web showed it to be completely red, so I took most data with a Halpha filter. Probably...

Arp 41/NGC 1232 belongs to Arp's class for spiral galaxies with low surface brightness companions on their arms. It is located in Eridanus some 67 million...

Palomar 13, found in Pegasus, is located about 85 million light-years away and about 88 million light-years from the center of the galaxy. While SIMBAD and a...

I imaged this one back in 2008 but seeing wasn't great and my processing far worse. I was going to combine the two but seeing was so much better for this...

Arp 109 is in Arp's class for "E and E-like galaxies repelling spiral arms", a class that never has made sense to me. If it has spiral arms isn't it a...

Arp 38 is a face on spiral in Draco about about 60 million light-years distant. Arp put it in his class for spirals with low surface brightness companions...

NGC 7436 is a pair of galaxies in Pegasus about 330 million light years away. It and its two companions form a subgroup of the Abell 2513 galaxy cluster. ...

I attached the wrong image then trying to delete it I hit send not delete. Trying again with right images this time. Rick ______________________________ vdB...

vdB 133 is a nebula surrounding and lit by 44 Cygni, a 6th magnitude star. It consists of both a reflection nebula GN 20.29.1 and the HII region LBN...

I recently imaged some planetary nebulae without focal reducer but with 2x2 binning, resulting in an image scale of 0,76"/pixel. FOV is only 21 arcminutes,...

I almost let it get past me this year as the weather was so bad it wasn't happening. Finally grabbed some frames on a rather poor night. Took a lot of...

NGC 7354 is a 30" planetary nebula in Cepheus. I did some test shots and found that Ha and OIII were not better than a simple Lum, so I did a LRGB...
