The Pinwheel Cluster (Messier 36)

A deep-space photograph shows a star field scattered with hundreds of tiny white, yellow, and orange stars against a dark background. At the center, a bright star is surrounded by a hazy, bluish-white reflection nebula with wisps of dark dust obscuring parts of the glow. The nebula appears like a faint, misty flower of light set within the darker clouds of space.

A deep-space photograph showing countless stars scattered across the frame, with dark cloudy regions of interstellar dust blocking some starlight. Wisps of reddish-orange gas glow along the edges of the clouds, creating intricate, glowing shapes against the darker background. The image captures a dense star field with a mix of bright stars, faint stars, and glowing nebula structures.

A deep space photograph of the Omega Nebula (M17), also known as the Swan Nebula, captured with a Seestar S50 telescope. The image shows a bright, cloud-like nebula with shades of white and faint reddish-brown, surrounded by a dense field of stars against a dark background. The nebula appears as a luminous, irregular patch with darker regions and intricate wisps, highlighting its gaseous structure. The exposure time for the image is 24 minutes.

@ngc1960.bsky.social Hi! I'm not a stalker, but I think you're very pretty and I've seen you many times. Almost always in the late autumn or winter, always at night and always from a afar - about 4,000 light-years to be precise! Anyway, here's a pic I sneakily took of you last November. Shine on!

"A deep space astronomical photograph showing the barred spiral galaxy Messier 109 (M109) against the black background of space. The galaxy appears in the lower third of the image, displaying its distinctive bright central bar and surrounding spiral structure with faint, extended arms. M109's bright nucleus stands out clearly, with its spiral arms showing a subtle greenish tint. The galaxy is surrounded by numerous stars of varying brightness scattered across the dark cosmic background, creating a speckled effect throughout the frame. Some stars appear significantly brighter than others, with particularly prominent ones visible in the upper portions of the image. This barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major appears relatively small in the wide field of view, highlighting its distance of approximately 83.5 million light-years from Earth."

Messier 109 with my #Seestar S50. 30 minutes of data processed in Siril and Google Photos. #astrophotography

Bode's galaxy (M81) in Ursa Major, showing spiral arms with darker lanes and a bright core.

Combined my M81 #Seestar S50 data with @timhonisett.bsky.social 's data from last night to get 5 hours 12 minutes integration (1877 x 10s subs). Stacked and processed in PixInsight. I like the detail that has been brought out by the longer integration! #astrophotography

This is the magnificent Andromeda Galaxy, the closest galaxy to our very home. It was captured over several nights using the SeeStar S50, 2329 frames stacked together to form an amazing glimpse of our galactic neighbor.

Centered on a black background dotted with stars is a spiral galaxy with two prominent arms winding around the nucleus.

M74, the Phantom Galaxy
A grand-design spiral galaxy that is about 32 million light years away and oriented so that we have a face-on view of the spiral pattern.
