Jupiter 6th June 201816 viewsTime to dust off the old Celestron C8 SCT and try to image Jupiter. Never going to be wonderful at only 20 degrees elevation - but a nice way to spend a warm evening. David R.Jun 07, 2018

M33 Triangulum galaxy225 viewsM33 is 3rd largest galaxy in the local group and is nearly 3 million light years distant. I realised I'd imaged it in Oct 15 and Nov 16 giving over nine hours exposure in total. Here's the result of the two combined. Processed in iris and Photoshop. BillCFeb 11, 2018

Copeland's Septet315 viewsDiscovered by Copeland in 1874 using the 6 foot "Leviathan of Parsonstown" telescope at Birr Castle, Ireland. It was a fortuitous discovery as he was actually looking for another "nebula" but had been given the wrong coordinates. He could see 7 nebulae (galaxies) hence septet but there are at least 8 probably 9 associated together. Distance around 430 mly. David R.Oct 24, 2017

Hickson 55 (VV172)277 viewsIn this famous chain of galaxies the faintest member, second from the top (north) has a much greater redshift than the rest of the group. Why do groups often seem to have an anomalous member? A solution proposed in 1995 was that the mass of the real group acts as a gravitational lens to magnify and brighten any background galaxy in the same line of sight. This would produce more apparent discordant redshift members than pure chance would provide. David R.
