  1. Astronomers classify M101 as a "grand design" spiral galaxy because its spiral arms are so unusually prominent and well-defined. Those bright, bluish knots you see scattered throughout the arms are massive regions of active star formation, where enormous clouds of hydrogen gas are giving birth to brilliant new star clusters.

  16. Another successful overnight rooftop imaging run. The Moon is still very new, so I decided to image without the light pollution filter for a while.

    Globular cluster Omega Centauri, Messier 24 (the Sagittarius Star cloud) and the Helix Nebula.

  36. The overnight bounty off the :seestar_s30: from the city.

    The fighting dragons of Ara, the Corona Australis molecular cloud, the Helix nebula and the Sculptor galaxy with globular cluster NGC 288.

    These are stacks off the seestar, they’ve not been post-processed to get rid of the light pollution gradient.
