Got this from Cybercandy i think, there were no choices about it. I want a Gemini one cos that's me. Actually i want the whole collection! I wonder where they would let you buy them?
Includes M84, M86, NGC 4402, 4387, 4407, 4425, 4435, 4438 and looks like a happy face to me. Four 200 second exposures stacked and taken with an 8 inch newtonian scope.
Le Calopteryx vierge (Calopteryx virgo) est une demoiselle qui fait partie d'une famille qui ne comprend, en Europe, qu'un seul genre, Calopteryx.
In the center of the Old Train Station in Naples is a mosaic with the points of the compass (invented in Almafi) and the signs of the Zodiac (in local flavor of course)
Well over a thousand galaxies are known members of the Virgo Cluster, the closest large cluster of galaxies to our own local group. In fact, the galaxy cluster is difficult to appreciate all at once because it covers such a large area on the sky. This careful wide-field mosaic of telescopic images clearly records the central region of the Virgo Cluster through faint foreground dust clouds lingering above the plane of our own Milky Way galaxy. The cluster's dominant giant elliptical galaxy M87, is just below and to the left of the frame center. To the right of M87 is a string of galaxies known as Markarian's Chain. A closer examination of the image will reveal many Virgo cluster member galaxies as small fuzzy patches. Sliding your cursor over the image will label the larger galaxies using NGC catalog designations. Galaxies are also shown with Messier catalog numbers, including M84, M86, and prominent colorful spirals M88, M90, and M91. On average, Virgo Cluster galaxies are measured to be about 48 million light-years away. The Virgo Cluster distance has been used to give an important determination of the Hubble Constant and the scale of the Universe. via NASA ift.tt/1g355DJ
