The spiral galaxy IC 1954 covers the entire field of view in an image taken by the instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy, which is approximately 45 million light-years from the Milky Way, is located in the direction of the Horologium constellation and is about 50,000 light-years across. IC 1954 features a bright central bar and lazily meandering spiral arms dotted with.....

Pew pew! Here's a pic of the #MilkyWay I took a few years ago from ESO's Paranal Observatory in #Chile. The four yellow lines are lasers from the Very Large Telescope –– we use them to excite sodium atoms high up in the atmosphere, creating artificial "stars" that allow us to correct atmospheric turbulence and get very sharp images.
Occasionally we also use the lasers to play with cats on other planets 🐱

This Image taken by the Very Large Telescope shows the young stellar object V* V2423 Ori, located in the Messier 42 Orion Nebula. It is the sharpest image ever taken of this object. The wavy magenta structure is a stellar phenomenon known as Herbig-Haro, a jet of matter called HH 524 that is ejected near the star and takes on a peculiar shape. Very young stars are often surrounded by disks o #astrophysics #astrophotography

We finally made it! This is the result of a group of 15 amateur astronomers (which I am part of) who have shared their data in an effort to get as much data on this pair of galaxies as possible. The result is over 400h of exposure time (where over 200 are in narrow band Hydrogen-Alpha).
This allowed us to create the deepest and most detailed image of M81 and M82 probably done by amateur astronomers ever! The red, faint Hydrogen "exploding" outwards from Messier 82 is truly a sight to be seen.
For more details and a full-resolution image check the my website https://theuberger.ch/post/astrophotography/20230507-m81m82-collab/ or the official AstroBin post: https://www.astrobin.com/tb0sou/

A field of galaxies crowds this image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, along with bright stars capped with Webb's characteristic six-pointed diffraction spikes. The large spiral galaxy at the base of this image is cataloged as LEDA 2046648, and is accompanied by a somewhat smaller galaxy called SDSSCGB 45689.6. In addition, the field of view shows a carpet of.....

Ka 364 is a jellyfish-type galaxy, astronomers call galaxies that leave material behind as they move through space. Either because they rotate rapidly or because they travel at high speeds, which may be due to interactions or gravitational tugs from a nearby cluster of galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope image shows Ka 364 displaying dust, gas and star calvings turned into.....

RCW 24 has this designation because at first it was confused with an HII region, later it was discovered that it was a planetary nebula, so it was cataloged as PN G258.5-01.3. It is a type I bipolar planetary nebula, which is located in the direction of the Puppis Constellation and is located at a distance of about 3,260 light years from Earth, the estimated distance has a fairly large margin of.....

The Menzel Catalog was compiled in 1922 by Dr. Donald Howard Menzel when he was 21 years old while studying the Norma Constellation in the southern hemisphere. This catalog initially consisted of three planetary nebulae, now well known to all amateur astronomers. Later they were included.....

The Gum Catalog contains data referring to 85 nebulae visible from the southern hemisphere, which was compiled in 1955 by Australian astronomer Colin Stanley Gum using the Mount Stromlo Observatory. Entry 21 in this catalog is Gum 21, a small annular nebula surrounding the stars RW 14 and HD 76556. This cloud and its associated stars lie in the same direction as the.....

I've added 40 minutes more exposure time to this, which was my first image with a new telescope, an Astro-Tech AT115EDT 115mm APO triplet refractor.
This is 70x60s exposures.
Neither night was perfect — clouds the first and poor seeing the next. Still, I'm happy!

The Sombrero Galaxy, or Messier 104, is an odd galaxy, roughly 31 million light years from Earth.
This family of stars is noted for its massive brightly lit center, surrounded by dark, intricate lanes of dark dust.

VdB 125, seen here in an excellent image by astronomer Astrophotography by Emil Ivanov, is a very faint reflection nebula. The illuminating star in this cloud is HD 182830 of magnitude 8.08 and spectral type F0 E, the larger of two stars that shine together in the direction of the Constellation Aquila. HD 182830's companion is HD 182866 at least bright, with magnitude 8.25 and.....

The image of Astronomer Tony Hallas shows Messier 78, also cataloged as NGC 2068, is a reflection nebula located in the Orion constellation. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and included by Charles Messier in his popular catalog of diffuse objects that same year.

The stars in the sky taught us #mathematics and #physics, but now we are collectively forgetting its beauty.

Caldwell 58, also cataloged as NGC 2360 and Melotte 64 among other designations, is popularly known as the Caroline Cluster, Caroline's Cluster in English. This name was coined because it was discovered by the German astronomer Caroline Hershel on February 26, 1783. Caldwell 58 is located at a distance of about 3,700 light years from Earth and is located in the direction of the.....

NGC 7 is a barred spiral galaxy shown edge-on from our perspective. It is located in the direction of the Sculptor Constellation. Like other visible objects in the sky, its observation is best with peripheral vision, without looking directly at it. It lies so far south in the sky that it is difficult to see from populated regions on Earth since it never rises more than 17º above the horizon. NGC 7 is.....
