The Globular Cluster Messier 92 in Hercules is a beautiful cluser not far from M13.
It is 27 kLY from the Earth and a nice target for astrophoto as well as visual observing. The image is taken with AP 1200 and C11, Canon 40D plus Williams Optics 110 mm Williams Optics and NexImage for guiding. The image is made of 42 subs with 90-120-240 sec at ISO 1600.

- The Fireworks Galaxy Ngc6946
The NGC6946 galaxy 1o MLY away between Cepheus and Cygnus is a spiral galaxy known to have had more than 10 Supernovas the last 100 years. As comparison, we believe the rate of Supernovas in the Milkyway is about 1-2 Supernovas every 100 year. But the...
