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.
M42 - Orion Nebula
Perhaps the most photographed nebula in the night sky, M42, better known as the Orion Nebula in the constellation Orion. And… my first astro image.
