M101 (Messier 101), the Pinwheel Galaxy needs no introduction. One of the most photographed galaxies of the northern sky together with M32. A majestic spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major, with its long arms that extend far beyond the galaxy core. The galaxy is almost twice as the diameter Read more…
Barnard 174 is a dark nebula in constellation Cepheus (LDN1164 and LDN1165). A very dark and dense molecular cloud that absorbs pretty much all the light form the forming stars. Other celestial objects are visible in the frame such as LBN485, LBN486 and LBN491 emission nebulas. The image was challenging Read more…
NGC891, also known as the Silver Sliver Galaxy, is a beautiful galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. Visible from its edge-on position, the thick dust and gas halo is clearly visible around its core. A myriad of other galaxies are visible in the frame. Total 14hours integration in LRGB. High resolution Read more…
Dusty region in the constellation Ursa Major, including NGC2787 and many other galaxies. The region is next to the well known M81 and M82 galaxies. Total 19hrs integration in LRGB. High resolution here
The Great Orion Nebula, M42, is one of the most iconic objects of the winter northern skies. Located in the constellation of Orion, south of the Orion Belt. The central part of the nebula is so bright that can be observed with naked eyes from a dark location. Total of Read more…
LBN438 is a dark nebula in the constellation Cepheus. The dark nebula and its surrounding LBN435 and LBN440 are immerse in a dense and faint Ha emission field also know as ERE. A diversity of galaxies can be seen in the background. Total 25 hours integration in HaLRGB. High resolution Read more…
NOG 1579 or Northern trifid nebula is a bright HII emission region surrounded by a dusty region in the constellation . The name is inspired by its similarity to the well known M20 “Trifid nebula” in Sagittarius. The bright central region is energized by young forming stars that shine in Read more…
NGC 2403 (Caldwell 7) is a bright spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis. The galaxy resembles the more popular M33 for its shape and numerous HII glowing star forming regions that glow in a reddish color. Image is the result of 18 hours integration in HaLRGB High resolution here
M61, or NGC4303, is one of the many galaxies populating the Virgo Cluster. M61 is a barred spiral galaxy also known as “starburst” galaxy due to the intense rate of star formation, it is also one of the largest galaxy in the Virgo cluster, with a core dimension comparable to Read more…
