Large Sagittarius Starcloud41 viewsThe Large Sagittarius Starcloud is the brightest visual part of our Milkyway galaxy. Unfortunately, it rises quite low in the south from Irelan, being only best visible during the summer months and during the shortes nights. Another fabulous region of the night sky with M8, the Lagoon Nebula a fine sight in any instrument.

Pipe Nebula Milkyway Region36 viewsThis is a shot of the 'Pipe Nebula' region in the southern part of the Constellation Ophiuchus. Although this area only rises 15 degress above the southern horizon, this is a fabulous region of the summer milkyway to observe, with a wealth of many Bernard dark nebula, starclusters and globular clusters.

M27 - The Dumbell Nebula16 viewsThe Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Messier 27, M 27, or NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula (PN) in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1,360 light years. This object was the first planetary nebula to be discovered; by Charles Messier in 1764. At its brightness of visual magnitude 7.5 and its diameter of about 8 arcminutes, it is easily visible in binoculars, and a popular observing target in amateur telescopes.

Globular Cluster Messier 1396 viewsMessier 13 (M13/NGC6205) is a fabulous visual and photographic object visible in the Constellation of Hercules, and is visible most of the year from the northern hemisphere. It's one of the brightest globular clusters in the night sky at magnitude 5.8, and comprises of an estimate of 1 million stars at a distance of approximately 25,000 light years. Globular cluster M13 was selected in 1974 as target for one of the first radio messages addressed to possible extra-terrestrial intelligent races, and sent by he big radio telescope of the Arecibo Observatory. Nearby, about 40 arc minutes north-east of M13, is the faint (mag 11) galaxy NGC 6207

NGC 2903 - Galaxy in Leo67 viewsNGC 2903 is a spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky Way Galaxy. Similarities include its general size and a central bar. Further investigation has indicated that current star formation is most rampant in a 2000 light-year wide circumnuclear ring surrounding NGC 2903's center. Astronomers hypothesize that the gravity of the central bar expedites star formation in this ring. NGC 2903 lies about 25 million light-years away and is visible with a small telescope towards the constellation of Leo.Feb 17, 2010

M81-M82 GALXY GROUP72 viewsTHE M81-M82 GALAXY GROUP IS A FABULOUS VISUAL AND PHOTOGRAPHIC SIGHT IN OUR NIGHT SKY. LOCATED IN THE CONSTELLATION URSA MAJOR, THESE GALAXIES LIE AT 12 MILLION LIGHT YEARS FROM EARTH, AND HAVE BEEN PARTNERS IN A 'COSMIC DANCE' WITH EACH OTHER, THE EVIDENCE OF WHICH CAN BE SEEN IN THE CIGAR SHAPED M82 WHICH IS UNDERGOING MASSIVE STAR FORMATION DUE TO A CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH M81 IN THE PAST. M81 IS 7TH MAGNITUDE VISUAL, M82 IS 8.4 MAGNITUDE VISUAL, AND BOTH ARE EASILY VISIBLE IN 10X50MM BINOCULARS.Feb 14, 2010
