Earlier this summer, a Supernova appeared in the M51 galaxy in constallation Ursa Major.
- Hercules Cluster Of Galaxies, 450 Mly Away
The image contains about 30 galaxies in Hercules cluster of galaxies. In the middle the NGC 6050/IC 1179 (Arp 272) is a remarkable collision between two spiral galaxies. The galaxy cluster is part of the Great Wall of clusters and superclusters, the largest...
- 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...

Supernova in galaxy M51
Earlier this summer, a Supernova appeared in the M51 galaxy in constallation Ursa Major.
The Supernova is show marked with a circle from a image taken 17 of September 2011. As comparison I have added a image I took in 2009 of the same galaxy.
AP1200 with C11 at f10, guided with Williams Optics APO 110 and NexImage videocamera. 5 images of 10 min, ISO 1600, Canon 40D modified.
