Messier 33, also known as the Triangulum Galaxy, is the third-largest galaxy in the Local Group, following the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way.
The Comet is a long-period comet from the Oort cloud that was discovered in early 2023 and made its closest approach to the Sun on September 27.
NGC 6940 – A beautiful open star cluster in the summer constellation Vulpecula, located about 2,500 light-years away.
The first result of my “Moon Cartography Project” – further versions of my moon map may follow.
Four open star clusters in Cassiopeia: among others, Caldwell 10 and Messier 103. A truly beautiful frame with simply stunning stars.
Sh2-236 material that I originally created for a “with OWB” vs “without OWB” filter test. Somehow, it feels like a shame not to develop an image from it.
A 22-hour project that fit almost perfectly on the full-frame sensor. The Cygnus Loop in Cygnus is a great late summer object.
A few open star clusters—M39, NGC 7082, NGC 7062—and an asterism, NGC 7071, in the constellation Cygnus. My result after just one night.
In August, there was quite a bit of activity on the Sun. I also tried my luck once.
