Spaghetti and a meatball 🙂 Simeis 147, also known as the Spaghetti Nebula, is a supernova remnant in between the constellations Auriga and Taurus. It has a low surface brightness and is identified by its distinctive filamentary structure. Exposure: ~42h #Astrophotography

Animation into my Andromeda stack. Hope you enjoy! #Astrophotography

Slight different animation of my NGC1333 stack and I think this came a lot cleaner. #Astrophotography

Flying (or zooming) into the Perseus molecular cloud…

My wide field image of NGC1333 was featured in NASA Sky FB and Instagram… m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

Clouds of Andromeda The beautiful Andromeda Galaxy is a large spiral galaxy with dark dust lanes, bright yellowish core, and spiral arms traced by blue starlight. Faint reddish clouds of glowing ionized hydrogen gas lie in our own Milky way. Exposure: 64 hours

Arp 78, a peculiar spiral galaxy is in the constellation Aries. Surrounded by several satellite galaxies whose tidal forces on the larger galaxy have likely caused the emergence of a single elongated outer spiral arm that is much more developed than the other arms. Exposure: 25h

NGC 660 is classified as a "polar ring galaxy", meaning that it has a belt of gas and stars around its centre. It is about 40 million light years in the constellation of Pisces.  Exposure: 27h Edge 11HD QHY268M Chroma LRGBHa AP900 @QHYCCD #Astrophotography

At a distance of over 300 million light years, catalogued as ARP273, these two eye-catching galaxies are engaged in close encounters. The distorted appearance is due to the gravitational tides. Total exposure: 12h Edge11HD QHY268M Chroma LRGB AP900 @QHYCCD #Astrophotography
