UGC 5829, often called The Spider Galaxy, is an irregular galaxy in Leo Minor about 42 million light-years away. Though the one and only Tully-Fisher measurement puts it much closer at 26 million light-years. While NED lists a bright spot in the galaxy as a part of the galaxy it lists another as...
My skywatcher 200/1000 - F5 break the photosphere today under terrible conditions. The photosphere images is very sensitive to changes on color. So stay in B/W mode. Today was a difficult day but i hope to coming better seeing days to the future. http://www.solar-007.eu/site/
NGC 5107 and 5112 are a pair of blue, non interacting, spiral galaxies. Red shift puts them at about 55 million light years. Tully-Fisher measurements of 5107 range from 45 to 76 million light-years while those for NGC 5112 cover an even wider range of 59 to 101 million light-years. While that...
NGC 3646 is a very peculiar spiral galaxy in Leo. It's inner spiral structure is that of a normal flocculent spiral but the outer structure is chaotic at best. One note at NED reads: "...The spiral pattern is very odd. One spiral arm emerges from the SE end of the inner disk and turns...
I thought I would go back to an old photo that I'm not happy with. The concept was there when I shot it, doing a bit of long exposure (30 seconds) and some light painting with my tail-lights etc, but the end result came up short. So, what I have done now is some creative 'shopping and a bit of a...
NGC 3016, 3019, 3020, 3024 is a 4 galaxy group according to many catalogs. Really it is a pair of two galaxy groups as the first two have a redshift putting them 420 million light-years from us while the last two are much closer at about 80 million light-years. I see no sign of interaction...
Hi! :) Definitely not my best work or an original composition, however, a reasonable result considering equipment problems and poor weather. Took me 6hrs to get this measly 40 minutes of data to play with. http://www.pbase.com/grahammeyer/image/143268824/large You can click on original...
A while ago I went looking for a shot of the Sun based on SDO images to use in a video project. I didn't find what I wanted so I've spent some time exploring jHelioviewer and the SDO archive. I've come up with a first draft of what I was looking for and I've posted it on YouTube, Creative Commons...
Active region 11476 found in the epicentre last days. It showed almighty and ready to heat earth with geomagnitikes storms. For the hour however she remains calm and reaches little by little in the west. www.solar-007.eu/site/
NGC 3359 is a nice barred spiral in Ursa Major about 50 light-years distant (redshift says 53, the Gemini page says 49 and other sources say about the same range). NED classes it as SB(rs)c, while the NGC project says SBc. Both mention it has strong HII emission. So why am I imaging a rather...

Today I wanted to test a sun filter I have made in preparation for the observation of the upcoming annular eclipse. Although there is a thin overcast, I observed and photographed the Sun anyway, because I also wanted to see the current large sunspot #1746, which is part of a chain of sunspots that...
Enjoy! Update! 5-8-12,11am est,Universal Orlando,FL, Full disk an Zoomed 1476 Enjoy! Ok an Bonus, hehehehe, Super Moon shots from Full Moon Night 5-5-12
Hi all, a first experiment of a strange bedfellows Mewlon300 + Nikon d3: http://www.danilopivato.com/solar_system/moon/moon_mew_d3.html Best regards, Danilo Pivato
You won't believe this. It happened on May 3, 2012, around 22:30 CEDT. Just as I was setting up my scope, I accidentally pressed the shutter release of the already attached camera. I hadn't even focused yet. And what did I see? Apparently I had managed to photograph a pteranodon as it was...
To summarize, for the visual eye, there is nothing special about a supermoon. The regular full moon rising or setting is the real king. anyway, I suspect that supermoon are less red than average moons since they are brighter and i will test this theory through November (unless it is alread proofed...
The sun remain quiet excpt region 11476. We have a big fila-prom at southeast. http://www.solar-007.eu/site/
NGC 3583 is a barred spiral, SB(s)b, in Ursa Major about 110 million light-years from us. It would fit Arp's category for spiral galaxies with a high surface brightness companion on its arm. Sometimes the companion was a true companion but most of the time either we still don't know or it wasn't...
The focusing on the Mak is driving me up the wall. Today I did not manage many pictures that were at least reasonably well in focus, and those that were were overexposed. So I gave up and just cropped out this view near the terminator out of one of the better images. I had been trying to photograph...
It's kinda crazy what the Canon 50mm F/1.9 can do with a 9 second exposure
NGC 4068 is an irregular starburst galaxy in Ursa Major. It is thought to be at the end of its starburst phase. NED classes it as IrrAm while the NGC project just says Irr. Redshift says it is about 18 million light-years away but other measurements put it closer with 13 to 14 million...
I finally had clear skies with M95 not too far from the meridian the early morning of April 17 UT (evening of the 16th for those in the Americas). M95 in Leo is a rather common target for small telescopes. I found two different estimates for the distance to M95. Most sources say 38 million...
Howdy all, I have put up a few images that I have done over the last couple of weeks. Appreciate your thoughts and feedback as always. M46 I have managed to capture two planetary nebulas in this image. http://www.pbase.com/grahammeyer/image/142937361 M41 My absolute favourite image I...
Right, so after the unsatisfactory first test on April 28, here is my next test of that 90/1250 Maksutov Cassegrain. Camera: Canon1000d, ISO 400, 1/60 s (as recommended by RickJ, I pushed the ISO level a bit) Here is just one of the images I took tonight. No stacking, no prost-processing other...
Two photos from today ionized calsium and CORONADO MAXSCOPE SM 70mm <2.2A CaK.
IC 3476 is a small, nearby irregular galaxy in the constellation of Coma Berenices south of M88 and M91. NED classes it as IB(s)m: with HII emission. Thus they consider it an irregular galaxy with a bar and slight spiral structure of the Magellanic type in which massive HII regions are giving...
Tonight I tested a small Maksutov-Cassegrain catadioptric telesope on the waxing Moon. I normally use an ED-apo, so the Mak required some getting used to. It has an aperture of only 90 mm (3.5") but a focal lenth of 1250 mm, so the image is much darker than what I am accustomed to. I attached...
Yes, about 60 thousand km. Not 60 million, or 160 million. 60 thousand. How? Several years back I posted on ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, which has a small camera on board called the VMC (Visual Monitoring Camera). Originally, the VMC's purpose was to image a lander probe called Beagle 2...
NGC 3166 and 3169 are a pair of interacting galaxies Arp somehow missed. Third NGC galaxy is NGC 3165. All three are at the same redshift distance with any differences being within measurement error and relative velocity as they encounter each other. All three appear distorted with NGC 3169 on...
Hi, I have a monocromatic camera and no LRGB filter set. However, I have the Wratten filters #23A (light red), #58 (green) and #80A (blue). Is it possible to achive an approximate color composition with them? Does it worth trying? Thanks.
