M82 | Arp337 - Cigar Galaxy
M82 is often photographed together with its close neighbour M81. But the cigar galaxy as it is also called, is a beautiful example of a starburst galaxy and deserves the attention on its own.
M101 | Arp26 - Pinwheel Galaxy
The spiral galaxy M101, or Pinwheel Galaxy, is one of the larger galaxies visible. Its face-on position and its visibility all year round, makes it a great target for any Astrophotographer. Adding H-alpha data to the LRGB image highlights the star-forming areas.
M51 Arp85 - Whirlpool Galaxy
One of the earlier ‘real’ images taken at the observatory. A combination of two interacting galaxies. M51, or the Whirlpool galaxy, is an impressive appearance at the night sky, approximately 28 million lightyears from Earth.
