One of the earlier ‘real’ images taken at the observatory. A combination of two interacting galaxies. M51, or the Whirlpool galaxy, is an impressive appearance at the night sky, approximately 28 million lightyears from Earth.

Grand design spiral galaxy M81, also known as Bode’s galaxy, is often seen together with its neighbouring galaxy M82. But here on his own, a beautiful galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major.

A small set of three galaxies, M65, M66 and NGC3628, collectively called the Leo triplet in the constellation Leo.

Perhaps the most photographed nebula in the night sky, M42, better known as the Orion Nebula in the constellation Orion. And… my first astro image.
