  1. Messier 106 shines as a magnificent intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici, lying 23.7 million light-years from Earth. This large galactic system reaches its highest point in the night sky during mid-March, offering Northern Hemisphere observers their best opportunity to witness this distant cosmic wonder at astronomical midnight.

  2. The Hamburger Galaxy, NGC 3628, is a magnificent unbarred spiral galaxy located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. Seen edge-on from Earth, its distinctive shape and dust lane give it its appetizing nickname. This distant spiral reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight in early March, making it a prime target for northern hemisphere observers during spring evenings.

  3. astrocamp planner

    Planning my astrophotography sessions used to mean juggling Excel spreadsheets. I turned one of my own planning files into a WordPress plugin: the Astrocamp Planner.
    Right now, you can use the plugin on my webpage but you can not install it on your own wordpress.

    Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are very welcome.
    Here on mastodon or as a comment on the blog.

  4. Five clear nights during an unusually long stretch of good weather yielded my deepest and highest-quality image of Messier 101, the Pinwheel Galaxy, to date. Three sessions used the UHC filter on the RGB sensor, with two more marking the first light of my new ultra-narrowband H-alpha filter.

  9. Messier 66 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo, located
    approximately 36 million light-years away. It reaches its annual
    culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed in early March.

    Part of the famous Leo Triplet, M66 features distorted spiral arms shaped
    by gravitational interaction with neighboring galaxies.
