Cygnus Wall and Lagoon in color
Not so long time ago two entries preseting monochromatic hydrogen alpha images appeared at my blog. These were Cygnus Wall in NGC7000 and Lagoon and…

Messier 51 Whirlpool AD2019
I have already imaged M51 galaxy several times. I think it is actually my most often imaged galaxy (though it may be M82 as well :) ) But it is no…
Distant clusters around M82
M82 Cigar Galaxy is well object known to astronomy amateurs. If you are visual observer, then you most probably have already seen it. If you are…
NGC2903 barred spiral galaxy (UPDATE)
NGC2903 is located about 30 million light years away. Though it is spring time object it was discovered on November 16, 1784, by (no surprise here)…
M85 and NGC4394
M85 and NGC4394 galaxies are a nice pair, apparently close to each other, but quite far away in real. Messier 85 (larger, to the right) is a…
NGC2158 remote and old open cluster
NGC2158 is the symbol that may ring some bells for most of astronomy amateurs, but probably not many of them can immediately say what it is. If you…
