2 Galaxies from last night my best shot at M31 yet, this is less than 1/2 the size of the original photo, it is one huge Galaxy

And M33 the Pinwheel or Triangulum, quite a noisy photo but you can see star forming regions (nebulae) within this distant galaxy ( arrows point to them they look only like red blobs from this distance but there is some structure)

1st go this year poor visibility and only just visible over trees

Not a great image but if you look at the middle of the image you can see the tall pillars that Hubble so famously captured

After 18 months with no decent activity the sun finally produced a stunning sunspot - hopefully there will be more to come soon…

The remnants of a Supernova that occured 10,000 years ago and is 2000 light years away

The original image is over 2m in diameter so much of the detail has been lost in this presentation I’m afraid

This segment is referred to as the Witches Broom

Very hard area of imaging and one I am only just getting to grips with - hopefully I will get better soon
This was taken on the morning of the 31st May and was about 5-6 x the size of the Earth from base to tip!

This is my first go at combining photos, these two nebulae are huge and sit within Cygnus the swan.

To the left is the North American Nebula which looks like the continent and to the right is the Pelican ( its beak extends to the left )

New Camera - this is My first go at Plato - more to come when I work out how to use this potentially fantastic bit of kit
