A nice combination of two star clusters. M35, an open cluster in the constellation Gemini. Only a few hundred stars. The second cluster is NGC2158. It is much further away and therefore looks much smaller. Its old red stars make a nice contrast with the bright blue stars of M35, creating depth.

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.

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.

The spiral galaxy M63 in the constellation Canes Venatici with its beautiful spiral structure at more than 29 million lightyears away from Earth.

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.

A spiral galaxy in the constellation Triangulum, about 2.73 million lightyears from Earth.

One of the bigger and brighter globular clusters in the night sky, classified as M92 in the constellation Hercules. A look-alike of M13, but slightly smaller.

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.

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.

A small set of three galaxies, M65, M66 and NGC3628, collectively called the Leo triplet in the constellation Leo.

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.
