NGC 5371 is a symmetrical face-on Sbc barred spiral galaxy at a distance of 100 million light years in the constellation Canes Venatici. This galaxy with Hickson 68 makes up the Big Lick Galaxy Group. Notice particularly the multitude of faint, distant galaxies in the background - and there are many, many more than this image shows. |

PhotographerDerek SantiagoLocationMorristown,NJ USADate4/30/10 - 5/6/10EquipmentImaging CCD: QSI 540wsg. Imaging Scope: 10" LX200R Guide camera: SX Lodestar Guide scop: SVR90T Filters: Astrodon 5nm OIII and Ha, LRGBDescriptionThe Cat's Eye is a planetary nebula in the constellation Draco. The bright central core is easily observed in any telescope of moderate aperture. The extended outer halo, which spans more than five light years across, is rarely seen even in long exposure images. This image is a result of a composite of more than 13 hours of both short (1 minute) and long (20 minute) subexposures, which was required to capture the full dynamic range of this very complex nebula. |

PhotographerRod PommierLocationPommier Observatory, Portland, ORDate2009-07-29T15:34:23' /UT of midpoint of exposureEquipmentCompustar C14 Schmidt-Cassegrain @ f/7. Canon EOS 20D Exposure: 240 x 30 seconds = 2 hours at ISO 1600DescriptionM27 lies about 1200 light-years from Earth and has a diameter of about 2.4 light-years. It's expansion rate indicates that the red giant that spawned it erupted between 3000 and 4000 years ago. The white dwarf remanant of the red giant lies at the center of the nebula. This image shows some of the subtle detail inside the nebula. Sub-frames were 30-second unguided exposures calibrated with dark, flat and bias frames. |

PhotographerJohn TonksLocationSheffield UKDate16 April 2010 2030EquipmentCanon 350D SLR 55mmlens 1/8Sec @ 800ASADescriptionThis view, looking west from Sheffield towards Manchester airport 30 miles away would normally be laced with three or four vapour trails, but the ongoing eruption of the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano in Iceland has turned the whole of the UK and much of northern Europe into a no-fly zone. The high altitude dust cloud is also starting to produce some interesting sunsets. The view shows the New Moon with Venus. Tiny Mercury is also in there somewhere! |
