NGC 2903 - Galaxy in Leo80 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.

M13 - The Great Cluster In Hercules31 viewsThis was my first ever deep sky image taking on the 1 June 2006, Balbriggan Co.Dublin. David Grennan and Myself were testing My new 14" OTA with a 6.3 focal reducer at the time .
M13 was discovered by Edmond Halley in 1714, and catalogued by Charles Messier on June 1, 1764. M13 is about 145 light-years in diameter, and it is composed of several hundred thousand stars, the brightest of which is the variable star V11 with an apparent magnitude of 11.95. M13 is 25,100 light-years away from Earth.

Jupiter RGB67 viewsHere is my first images of Jupiter it was time to let the beast out of the bag and do some planetary imaging with the C14. Jupiter was around 25 Degrees up seeing was very good . it was such a pleasure to be under clear skies again.
Hope you like the images
Details are under the image.

Globular Cluster Messier 13113 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
