Messier 71 (M71 or NGC 6838) is a globular cluster in the small northern constellation Sagitta and is about 12,000 light years away from Earth. Up until the 1970’s this cluster was designated as a densely packed open cluster because of the loose central region, today it is designated as a loosely concentrated globular cluster with a young age of 9-10 billion years.

When I first imaged The Nautilus Galaxy (NGC 772/ARP 78) I was fascinated by its shape, one spiral arm stretched outward from the center. This is probably an effect of being tugged on by a satellite galaxy designated as NGC 770 (the bright fuzzy ball of light at the eight o'clock position). NGC 772 is also listed as ARP 78 in the Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. This catalog was compiled by Dr. Halton C. Arp and it details 338 peculiar galaxies. It is estimated that NGC 772 is twice the size of our Milky Way Galaxy! If you are looking at this image on Facebook or on our web site, I’ve also included an annotated version of the image.
Distance: 130 million light year.
Right ascension: 01h 59m 20s
Declination: +19° 00’ 27”
Apparent Magnitude: 10.3
Apparent Size: 4.57 x 2.52 (arc minutes)
I’ve imaged this galaxy three times in the last seven years, each time bringing out new details from changes in camera sensor technology, software processing and experience.
I’m not sure who first coined the name “Nautilus Galaxy”, but I did find a reference from 2008 by Ruben Kier who states, “I find the shape of NGC 772 resembles the nautilus shell, as illustrated to the right, so I have called it the Nautilus Galaxy.” (REF: www.stardoctor.org/772.html) If you Google “Nautilus Shell” you’ll see what he is talking about.

Lake Lyndon with the good old milky way arching over it, stitch isnt perfect because I went with camera raws stitching and didnt notice until later and I cant be bothered fixing it.
I've seriously sucked in lots of light for this, iso 6400, f1.4, 15 second frames, 18 in total.
Went with a cool/purple mood because a warmer one sucked.
Hope it doesnt displease you al too much.

This is Sharpless 91 (SH2-091) located in the constellation Cygnus. This is a larger, dimmer and more ancient “veil” nebula than the well known one in Western Cygnus. This image is just one of the brighter filaments in the larger structure. We’ll have to put a wider scope on this, perhaps the Redcat51 and more time. The bright star in this image is Phi Cygni.

Here is a view of comet 118P/Shoemaker-Levy from last evening (13 Apr 2023), average magnitude during my 20 x 180 second images was estimated to be 18.7 (about 1 magnitude dimmer than the predicted magnitude). Seems to be sporting a small tail as well.

Planet Impero
Interplanetary Travel
Hello to all of you from a new planet after a long separation. On my way to the planet where I received the radio signal, I decided to go off course and visit this new planet. Its distance from the stars, which are the source of life, showed that it could be suitable for life. In my measurements, I noticed that the atmosphere of the planet is quite thick. On top of that, I decided to enter the atmosphere with my spacecraft in a slower and more horizontal way. It was quite a time-consuming experience. After a long wait, I was able to enter the atmosphere of the planet. As I approached the surface, the high and pointed rock forms of the planet caught my attention. The surface of the planet was covered with snow and glaciers. It had a cold and gloomy atmosphere. The sky was unusually gray. This was due to the thick atmosphere of the planet. Most of the sun's rays were absorbed as they passed through the atmosphere, giving the sky a gray color. That's why the planet was cold. Due to the thick atmosphere of the planet, radio signals are also transmitted with a delay. I will do new research on this new planet for a while. I will continue my search for a trace of life on this planet. Keep following me on this new adventure.

We all belong to the stars.
The matter that constitues our bodies comes from the planet but originally it came from exploding stars eons ago. Whenever it happens, as stardust we will return to dust.

Thank you so much everyone for 5M views!
My flickr account, which I opened in January 2008, has reached 5 million views. Thank you all so much for this. In these 14 years, while sometimes sharing memories from planet earth, I generally shared images from the depths of space. My space adventure is a kind of therapy for me. It has been an effort to relax my mind and soul. It has always made me happy that you have been following me for many years in my space travel and that you like the photos I share. While I initially published three photographs in a month, I increased this number to three days a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, upon your request. As long as my imagination and body continue to live, I will continue to publish new photos from my space adventures. We have traveled to many planets together in this long 14-year span. We had new discoveries and adventures. We did this all together. We have visited 8 planets in 14 years. We looked for signs of life on these planets. Unfortunately, all the planets we visited were deserted. My search for the Plutonians in deep space will continue. My space travel will not end until I find the lost Plutonian civilization. Thank you all for not leaving me alone in this long journey. You make me feel that I am not alone in deep space, far from home. I am grateful to you.

Triscalia I
The sun in the Agonian system has gone nova. Forcing the people on Argonia to find a new home.
They did just that. Now settling on the planet Tatu the former Argonians are now Tatuines. As they build and acclamate to a new surrounding, Star Fleet business revs up again. The Academy on Tatu has opened and the space station is fully functional. New adventures await this recoursful lott.
But what awaits them is the question.
While Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF has moved below the brightness of seeing it without an optical aid, it’s still visible with a modest pair of binoculars near the star Aldebaran for the next couple days. This was the view last evening.

The Heart Nebula (IC 1805) lies about 7,500 light years away from Earth in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. The brightest part of the nebula (a knot at its western edge) is separately classified as NGC 896, because it was the first part of the nebula to be discovered. The nebula's intense red output and its morphology are driven by the radiation emanating from a small group of stars near the nebula's center. This open cluster of stars, known as Melotte 15, contains a few bright stars nearly 50 times the mass of our Sun, and many more dim stars that are only a fraction of our Sun's mass. (ref: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Nebula)
The Heart Nebula is located adjacent to the Soul Nebula forming a view referred to as the Heart and Soul Nebula. Now to splice the images together into a mosaic of the region.

Here is a view captured during a live moon session on May 20, 2018. This is the southern part of the moon as the moon was slowly setting in the west. High clouds caused many of the high resolution images to be a bit soft. This is the best 25% of 5000 video images.

The Andromeda Galaxy, this is my first light on it using the Sky-Watcher APO. The Andromeda Galaxy is also designated Messier 31 (M31) and is the nearest major galaxy to out Milky Way, which it happens to be on a collision course with!
