Messier 3 a beautiful globular cluster in Canes Venatici.
This was captured from my garden on 3rd April 2023 with a bright 95% lunar phase. This made the sky very bright making most deep sky targets washed out.
Globular clusters are bright in terms of deep sky targets and are still possible to image despite the bright moon.
This was captured using my monochrome camera and red, green and blue filters to create a full colour final image.

In order to keep bizzy I picked up my old telescope, essentially an objective of 2000mm focal distance (and a diameter of 200mm). After several sessions, and a lot of learning and calibrating of the scope, this is my temporary best result of the well known globular cluster M3.

Kind of has a little fish guts stuck to his beak! LOL!
Spotted this guy sitting low in the tree eating a rather large carp. Little by little I moved up on him as he was focused on eating. It took him a while to finish which allowed me to get off quite a few shots.
I mean, honestly-- look at him! No discipline, no sense of organization. Who knows what sort of magical disaster is just WAITING to happen with such a cluttered worktable...

M 109 is the most distant object in the Messier catalogue at 85 million light years. The blazing star to the upper right is Phecda, a more familiar object than you might think -- it's the bottom corner of the Big Dipper's bowl, on the handle side. That makes it one of the very few stars which can be seen by naked eye from my suburban yard. You can find 3 faint companion galaxies in the image and the annotator in PixInsight shows me about 30 more, but they're indistinguishable from faint stars in this casual deep sky image.

La galassia a spirale M61 (abbreviazione di Messier 61) si trova a 60 milioni di anni luce e con il suo diametro di circa 100.000 anni luce (simile a quello della Via Lattea) è uno dei più grandi membri dell'ammasso di galassie visibile nella costellazione della Vergine.
Particolarità di questa galassia è la struttura dei suoi bracci: essi mostrano diversi improvvisi cambi di direzione, dando quindi a M61 un aspetto quasi poligonale.
Nell'immagine sono visibile altre due galassie brillanti: NGC 4301 in alto a destra e NGC 4292 (in basso a destra): ma guardando bene, parecchie altre remote galassie sono visibili sullo sfondo.

The spiral galaxy M61 (short for Messier 61) is located 60 million light-years away and with its diameter of about 100,000 light-years (similar to that of the Milky Way) is one of the largest members of the cluster of galaxies visible in the constellation of Virgo.
A peculiarity of this galaxy is the structure of its arms: they show several sudden changes in direction, thus giving M61 an almost polygonal appearance.
In the image, two other bright galaxies are visible: NGC 4301 at the top right and NGC 4292 (at the bottom right): but looking carefully, several other remote galaxies are visible in the background.

Messier 3 è un ammasso globulare visibile nella costellazione dei Cani da Caccia; è fra i più brillanti del cielo.
Dista circa 33.900 anni luce ed è stato scoperto da Charles Messier nel 1764. L'ammasso è composto da circa 500.000 stelle di cui circa 212 sono variabili. (Link al quale potrete trovare una gif di 4 notti relativa al crop del nucleo dal quale si possono osservare le variazioni in alcune stelle variabili - youtu.be/LZuqQ9clcro )

Iconic reflection nebula created by the passage of an open cluster of bright young stars through a dust cloud. The magnetic fields of the stars warp the dust into lines and swirls.
Dust preferentially scatters blue light and absorbs red and IR imparting a blue colouration to the dust near to the stars whilst in the bottom right corner the dust cloud appears more red.
Taken robotically at Grand Mesa Observatory, Colorado with the system 1 scope.

Forming part of our local group of galaxies, M33 is approximately 3 million light years from earth. The central core of M33 is ringed with red star forming HII emission nebula and young hotter blue stars towards the outer arms.
Consisting of data collected over 3 years and of just over 22 hours of imaging time, this image was captured with an Altair Astro 6" RC and Atik 460ex camera.
Image acquisition in SGPro, calibration in Pixinsight and processing in CS5.
At the end of the road I see a Man
He is alone and He limps
And He turns His head to me
And His eyes are Death's
And His teeth of rotten metal speak of great evil
And from His sleeves comes winds of furious wrath
Scratching my body as it goes
With its diseased nails
At the end of the road stands a Man
He is tall and thin
And He turns His face to me
And His eyes of fire
And His lips of ice tells me of the sufferings of the world
And the dust from His cape spins around
Making me blind and hurt with its mad chase
At the end of the road awaits a Man
He is old and holds a stick
And He looks at me
And His eyes of flies
And His tongue of blood speaks of the strangest things
And the cobwebs from His hair strangle me with whispers of relentless sorrow
At the end of the road I see a Man
I see a Man, but He's not there

Messier 31 or NGC 224 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Andromeda. It is the nearest large galaxy to our own Milky Way galaxy. Also visible is its companion galaxies M32 and M110, two bright dwarf elliptical galaxies. It lies 2.5 million light years distant and is thought to contain around 1 trillion stars.

Messier 106
▼ Vixen VC200L | Canon EOS R(a) '25
astrocamp.eu/en/messier-106-march-25/
On March 25, I photographed Messier 106, a spiral galaxy about 23.7 million light-years away in Canes Venatici. This was my first successful single-galaxy capture of the season, confirming the precise collimation of my Vixen VC200L astrograph.
Using a Canon EOS R(a) at ISO 1600, I took 40 exposures (300s each) on March 5 from Koblenz, Germany, with calibration frames applied. The final image revealed numerous background galaxies, including NGC 4231, NGC 4232, and NGC 4248, highlighting the vastness of the cosmos.
You can't tell in this image, but there is a male frog clinging to the back of this one. Holliday Park, Indianapolis.
Messier 8 and 20, the Lagoon and Trifid, appear so low in the northern sky that it has been a challenge for me to image them from home, where trees impinge on my horizon. This was captured at a Westchester Amateur Astronomers' star party last week. The Lagoon is a large emission nebula formed principally from hydrogen gas; the smaller trifid is a more complex structure featuring an emission nebula (red), a reflection nebula (blue) and a dark nebula which carves the red structure into its three petaled shape. Both structures are estimated to lie some 4-6,000 light years from earth.
