M110

M110 is at first glance a somewhat boring galaxy, always in the shadow of its close and popular neighbour M31, the Andromeda Galaxy. The main reason of imaging was to complete the Messier catalogue. But some very small scale structure appeared to be present, which in the end made this a fun object to photograph.

Arp78

Arp78 is one of the 'Peculiar Galaxies' from the Arp catalogue in the constellation Aries. Tidal forces from nearby galaxies pull the arms of Arp78 into the peculiar shapes as they are.

M77 | Arp37

M77 is a nice small galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It has a wide area of gaseous rings around it, most of which could be pulled out in this image, due to 20h of exposure. M77 is also listed in the Arp Catalogue, as Arp37.

Arp319

Stephan's quintet is a beautiful cluster of five galaxies, photographed by Hubble and JWST, and now here imaged as a broadband image. The main galaxy (NGC7320) is another interesting object from the Arp catalogue of peculiar objects: Arp319.

Arp188

Arp188 is one of the many distorted objects from the Atlas of Peculiar galaxies. This one is also nick-named the tadpole galaxy for obvious reasons. Here imaged in LRGB using 20h of exposure.

Arp84

Arp84 is a beautiful, but very distorted system of two interacting galaxies, NGC5395 and NGC5394. It is one of 338 objects from the Atlas of Peculiar galaxies, produced by Halton Arp

Caldwell 45

Caldwell 45 is a small galaxy in the constellation Boötes, art of the Virgo supercluster of galaxies. It is also known as NGC5248. This was an older dataset when processed, and calibration is not perfect, as is visible in the uneven background. But details in the galaxy have been fairly well capture.

NGC5905, NGC5908

NGC5905 and NGC5908 are two neighbouring galaxies in the constellation Draco. They form a very nice contrast with NGC5905 being a beautiful spiral galaxy (SAb), that is visible face-on, while NGC5908 is a barred spiral galaxy (SBb) and visible edge-on view.

M61

M61 is a beautiful ‘heads on’ spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo, as part of the Virgo cluster. This particular image is shot in LRGB, but a comparison is made between LRGB and RGB processing as well.

M64 - Black Eye Galaxy

M64 is also known as the Black Eye Galaxy, because of its characteristic detailed center in an otherwise a smooth and amorphous looking galaxy. Other nicknames are ‘evil eye’ and ‘sleeping beauty’ galaxy. This was an old set of data that had still not be processed.

NGC4216, NGC4206, NGC4222

The Virgo cluster allows for some great galaxies to photograph. Here NGC4216 together with its neighbouring galaxies NGC4222 and NGC4206 in an RGB exposure. The second image from the remote observatory, with more han 20h of data collected over four nights.

M95 - First Light Remote Observatory

For the first light image with the new rig from the Remote Observatory, M95 was chosen as the subject. One of the smaller galaxies that should benefit from the large focal length, dark skies and good seeing. Still some aspects to work out, but so far off to a good start.

M74 - Phantom Galaxy

M74, also known as the Phantom Galaxy, is about 32 million light-years away from Earth. The galaxy contains two clearly defined spiral arms and is therefore used as an archetypal example of a grand design spiral galaxy.

Markarian’s Chain

In the middle of a crowded area of galaxies, known as the Virgo Cluster, one can find a string of Galaxies, commonly known as Markarian’s Chain. Eight galaxies, including the rather bright elliptical galaxies M84 and M86 make up this remarkable object.
