Leo Triplet26 viewsThe Leo Triplet includes NGC 3628, Hamburger galaxy. About 35 mly distant. The light reaching my camera started out soon after the demise of the dinosaurs.
Just over four hours exposure using a UHC clip filter on a EOS 200D camera on a skywatcher 200p reflector.

Palomar 1 & Palomar 235 viewsTwo very different globular clusters. Pal 1 has a very young age - around 4-6 billion years – and is much dispersed with extended tails. Pal 2 is a remote cluster and we view it through the plane of the Milky Way so is heavily reddened. It actually does look like a globular so must be relatively large given its huge distance.

Comet Iwamoto42 viewsA rarity these days – a comet discovered by a human being! Its closest approach to Earth on 12th Feb but I caught it 13 days later by which time it was fading. Still there is the suspicion of a tail on the comet's left (east) side. If you missed it this time it will return in 3390 AD. David R.Mar 03, 2019

M 74 Phantom Galaxy49 viewsA face on galaxy located in Pisces about 30 m LY distant. 'Phantom' is an appropriate name for me as it was hard to process. Done mostly in IRIS and Photoshop using Denoise on Davids recommendation.

Mirach's Goblin51 viewsMirach doesn’t only have a ghost but a goblin too. This very very faint dwarf galaxy was recently discovered by an Italian amateur and details were published in 2018. It is located about 1 degree south of Mirach and is more properly known as Donatiello 1 after its discoverer. The two galaxies – Ghost & Goblin are probably associated. DR.Feb 13, 2019
