Messier 74 (also NGC 628) is a face-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is located about 30 million light years away. This picture was taken September 24, 2007 by Doug Spalding from my back deck in Overland Park. Equipment used was a CGE1100 telescope equipped with Hyperstar (F/2) with an Orion DSCI II imager. 50 images X 20 sec each. Stacked with Maxim DL essentials.
Messier 27 (Dumbbell Nebula) in Vulpecula. This is 30x120s exposures using a QHY22 camera on a 300mm Newtonian telescope. Autoguided. Coma corrector and H-alpha filter. Captured in Nebulosity 3, processed in StarTools and Graphic Convertor.
(for a photo-a-day for another site, prompt was "messy")
I just sold my old TV stand that still had all the old nintendo controllers in it. I need to find somewhere to put them all now...
My brother Richard, Patricia Pederson and I had planned to take the boat out today. This would have been our 1st trip of the year. I took my camera with me to take photos of the Mississippi River. We made it as far as the waterfront before the Left (Port) wheel bearing overheated and caused the wheel to fall off.
Here is a closeup of just the Left (Port) wheel. The wheel was only ½ on at this point. There was nothing left of the bearing except for the grease that was slung out. One thing for sure, it would be a messy repair due to the grease.
First order of business was to get the necessary parts. We had no part numbers because of the total destruction of the bearings and loss of parts along the road. We did manage to find the castle nut which would have been the hardest part to find at a store.
We both knew that measurements would have to be made in order to get the right size bearings. Richard had to improvise and measure with a ruler.
We went to Oriley Auto Parts first because they were the closest and we still had hope of a quick repair. As expected, they wanted part numbers because it was the only way they knew to get the right part. They were unable to help Richard based on his measurements. They recommended Parts Supply.
Parts Supply didn't have the needed parts but, they knew what part numbers we may need. They recommended Auto Zone.
Auto Zone had the Bearings but, not the bearing washer. Richard purchased the bearings and Auto Zone recommended we go to Napa on the frontage road.
At Napa, we found the washer and dirt cap. At this point we felt we had all needed parts. We too the wheel to Richards house to fix the wheel. However at his house we discovered the outer bearing was right but the inner bearing was not the same as the outer. It was bigger.
We went back to Napa, found the right bearing complete with cap and seal. At this point we knew we would no longer have any time to make repairs and still put the boat in the water. We went back to the boat to make absolutely sure the parts were right.
We went back to Richards house, repaired the wheel then took the wheel to the waterfront. The wheel fit and repairs were completed at approximately 15:45 (3:45PM)
This is my room with my messy bed in it. I hadn't slept in my own bed for three weeks. Best thirty winks ever!

Wensleydale has this thing about sitting on black things. I don't understand. I think it's because she's mostly white and wants to maximize her shedding.
This beautiful globular cluster was first seen in May 1702. Messier 5 was registered by Charles Messier in May 1764. With an estimated age of 13 billion years, Messier 5 is one of the oldest globular clusters of the Milky Way. With an apparent magnitude of 5.7, you can find this star cluster in the direction of the constellation Serpens. This constellation is divided into two parts, on the west Serpens Caput (Snake Head) and on the east Serpens Cauda (Snake Tail). Messier 5 is located in the western part and near the celestial equator in Serpens (Caput).
Messier 5
It is approximately 24,500 light-years from Earth, and this is one of the largest glaobular clusters in the sky. In a dark place, Messier 5 is visible to the naked eye as a "weak star". Many details can be seen by looking through telescopes. Already with a 6-inch telescope, the globular cluster is recognized as a dense cluster of stars. Of course with a larger telescope you can see a lot of detail, and the outer stars are nicely separated. Thousands of stars in the middle give a fascinating picture of the Messier 5 globular cluster. Beautiful.
