Compact Galaxy Group Hickson 6817 viewsThis Hickson group consists of 5 concordant galaxies at a distance of around 120 light years. However, it it is now known that this group is a lot more complex with many more members than Hickson thought. The interacting galaxies are NGC 5353 and 5354 - the barred spiral is NGC5371.

M3 Globular Cluster22 viewsM3 lies 30'000 LY distant in Canes Venatici. It holds approx. half a million stars. To get more accurate colours, no filter was used and exposure times reduced accordingly.

The Cocoon Galaxy24 viewsWhen I was processing this image I noticed a faint feature on the east end (left) of NGC4490. At first I was unsure as to whether it was real or as a result of light pollution. It turned out to be real and this "tail" was discovered by Elmegreen et al in 1998. David R.Aug 09, 2020

The Mice49 viewsBelieved to be similar to what will happen to us when the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way collide. These two galaxies have already had one pass through each other, which has produced the long streamers or tails - hence their common name. David R.Jul 12, 2020

Spiral Galaxy, M10655 viewsM106 (NGC 4258) is one of the largest and brightest nearby galaxies very similar in actual size and luminosity to the Andromeda Galaxy. It is most famous for the presence of a water megamaser. The galaxy to its right is NGC 4217, a likely companion. David R.Jun 21, 2020

M 5 Globular cluster75 viewsM 5 in Serpens constellation has a diameter roughly 165 L Y
I kept the exposures short due to tracking problems.

M51 - apologies86 viewsSorry for yet another image of M51 but I wanted to test whether it would be better without light pollution filters. The resulting light pollution in the images was trickier to remove but the colours were much more realistic. David R.Jun 01, 2020

Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 290362 viewsA barred spiral galaxy thought to be similar to our Milky Way but with one strange difference. It is still forming new globular clusters. The Milky Way's globular clusters, on the other hand, are some of the oldest objects in our galaxy. David R.May 22, 2020

Splinter galaxy72 viewsNGC 5907 is in the constellation of Draco approximately 50 million LY distant. A spiral galaxy just a few degrees from edge on. A combination of one hour colour unfiltered and 4.6 hours mono.

Supernova in M 6166 viewsYesterday David R alerted me to this supernova event in M 61 galaxy in Virgo. First seen on 6th May 2020.
50 minutes exposure processed in Iris & PS.

M 97 Owl nebula74 viewsLying Approx. 2030 light years away in Ursa Major, M 97 is a planetary about 8000 years old. I processed mono files using 6 nm Ha and o111 filters and added some older frames from a DSLR

M51 Whirlpool Galaxy84 viewsI took this from Abbey Village on 24/04/2020. I took 50x 20sec images using only my SONY NEX5 compact camera mounted on my 70MM Starwave refractor, on a GOTO mount. No filter, no Bahtinov mask. Carl did the processing for me. I'm very pleased with the result. especially given my budget equipment and limited imaging experience! May 03, 2020
