M31 - Andromeda Galaxy
The galaxy of all galaxies, M31, or Andromeda galaxy. Our neighbour in the universe, at 2.5 million lightyears from Earth. Here photographed in exceptional high resolution of 100 megapixel.
Caldwell 12 - Fireworks Galaxy
Face-on view of the intermediate spiral galaxy NGC9646, or Fireworks galaxy, right on the border of the constellations Cepheus and Cygnus.
M94- Croc’s Eye Galaxy
The spiral galaxy M94 in the constellation Canes Venatici with rings of gas of different brightness looks like a big eye in the sky and is nicknamed Croc’s eye galaxy.
M63- Sunflower Galaxy
The spiral galaxy M63 in the constellation Canes Venatici with its beautiful spiral structure at more than 29 million lightyears away from Earth.
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.
M33 - Triangulum Galaxy
A spiral galaxy in the constellation Triangulum, about 2.73 million lightyears from Earth.
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.
M81- Bode’s Galaxy
Grand design spiral galaxy M81, also known as Bode’s galaxy, is often seen together with its neighbouring galaxy M82. But here on his own, a beautiful galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major.
M65 - Leo Triplet
A small set of three galaxies, M65, M66 and NGC3628, collectively called the Leo triplet in the constellation Leo.
