Large Sagittarius Starcloud77 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.

M51 Spiral Galaxy In Canes Venatici.57 views(Source: Wikipedia) The Whirlpool Galaxy (also known as Messier 51a, M51a, or NGC 5194) is an interacting grand-design spiral galaxy located at a distance of approximately 31 million light-years in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is one of the most famous spiral galaxies in the sky. The galaxy and its companion (NGC 5195) are easily observed by amateur astronomers, and the two galaxies may even be seen with binoculars. The Whirlpool Galaxy is also a popular target for professional astronomers, who st

M27 - The Dumbell Nebula24 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.

The Elephant Trunk Nebula High Resolution38 viewsThe Elephant's Trunk nebula is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust in the star cluster IC 1396 and ionized gas region located in the constellation Cepheus about 2,400 light years away from Earth[1]. The piece of the nebula shown here is the dark, dense globule IC 1396A; it is commonly called the Elephant Trunk nebula because of its appearance at visible wavelengths, where it is a dark patch with a bright, sinuous rim.Aug 22, 2010

Subtle Lagoon36 viewsThis is the 'Lagoon' nebula in Sagittarius which can be seen from Ireland mainly on summer evenings as a bright nebulous patch of light just above the 'teapot' and the large sagittarius starcloud, named as M8 by Charles Messier. At 4,000 to 6,000 light years away, it is seen as a bright 6th magnitude glow a degree across, containg newly born stars, and the fabulous starcluster NGC 6530.Jul 03, 2010

North America Milkyway51 viewsThis is the tip of Cygnus around the bright star Deneb or alpha cygnii which forms part of the summer triangle. It's an incredibly dense part of the cygnus spiral arm with stars too numerous to count. The north america nebula (NGC 7000) is outstanding here along with M39 and many dust lanes visible also.Jun 11, 2010

Cygnus Milkyway Arm54 viewsPresented here is a widefield view of the northern constellation Cygnus, known since the time of the ancients as the 'Swan'. This is a fabulous visual part of our northern hemisphere's milkyway, in which we are looking inward towards the cygnus spiral arm which hosts many deep sky treasures including the North America and Pelican nebulae, Messier cluster's M29 & 39, and the great 'Cygnus Rift', which is composed of a huge mass of galactic dust. This is best seen on clear summer nights.Jun 09, 2010

Melotte-15, Core Cluster of IC180581 viewsMelotte-15, Core Cluster of IC1805. The crucible of star formation lies within giant molecular clouds scattered throughout the spiral arms of galaxies. In our own galaxy some of the best known star forming regions lie in a chain of HII clouds located in the Perseus spiral arm of our galaxy. From west to east the chain of giant HII regions are known as W3, W4, and W5, which are also catalogued as IC 1795, IC 1805, and IC 1848.May 29, 2010

NGC 3628 In The Constellation Leo98 viewsNGC 3628 is an unbarred spiral galaxy about 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. It has an approximately 300,000 light-years long tidal tail. NGC 3628 along with M65 and M66 form the famous Leo Triplet, a small group of galaxies. Its most conspicuous feature is the broad and obscuring band of dust located along the outer edge of its spiral arms, effectively transecting the galaxy to our view.May 16, 2010

NGC 2841 - Galaxy in Ursa Major79 viewsNGC 2841 is an inclined unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. In 2001 the Hubble Space Telescope surveyed of the galaxy's Cepheid variables determined that it was approximately 14.1 megaparsecs or 46 million light years distant. (Thats around 276 million million million miles) Structurally, NGC 2841 is noted for its large population of young blue stars, and few star forming regionsMay 02, 2010
