- The Sunflower Galaxy
Messier 63, also known as the 'Sunflower Galaxy' is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici consisting of a central disc surrounded by many short spiral arm segments. This galaxy is about 27 million light years away and belongs...
- The Heart Of A Galactic Maelstrom
It is an image of Messier 96, a spiral galaxy just over 35 million light years away in the constellation of Leo [The Lion]. It is of about the same mass and size as the Milky Way. It was first discovered by astronomer Pierre Méchain in 1781, and...
- Mgc 7331 Group In Pegasus
The NGC 7331 group of galaxies in constellation Pegasus. The larger galaxy NGC 7331 is 40-50MLY from us. It is often reffered to as the Milkyway's twin galaxy. Telescope CPC 1100, 2800 mm, f10, Canon 40D modified, Guided with Celestron 80 ED and...
- Andromeda Galaxy M31
We finally have got some decent dark skies here in Norway. My first image this autumn is Andromeda - M31-M32- M110. The Andromeda galaxy is our nabour galaxy only 2.5 MLY away. It has trillions of stars and Magitude 4.4, you can see it easy with a binocular...
- Galaxy Ngc4565 In Coma Berenices
The Galaxy NGC4565 position in the sky is interesting since we see the galaxy on the edge. 53 MLY away from us with Mag 10.4. 13 subs each 6 minutes, ISO1600 through CPC 11 using focal reducer 0,63, Canon 40D(modified), Guided with Celestron80ED with...

The M109 Galaxy in Ursa Major
The Galaxy Messier 109, NGC3992 is a fine barred spiral galaxy in Ursa Major with Mag10,6 (13200 x fainter than Vega). It is about 46 MLY away from us. The faint galaxy to the left is UGC06969 (Mag15.4 - 132xfainter than M109) and the other one below the M109 is UGC06940(Mag16.7 - 275xfainter than M109). If you look even more carefully there are at least two more faint galaxies in the image.
The image is a result from a frustrating night with guiding problems. CPC 1100, 2240 mm, f 8 (WO 0.8 Reducer/Flattner) and Canon 40D modified. 7x10 min at ISO1600, guided, flats, darks.
