12P Pons-Brooks in the Lyra constellation December 23rd

Here’s a new version of the eruptive galaxy M82 in Ursa Major by Tony Hallas. Just incredible. This is as fine an image of an active galaxy shot by an astronomy enthusiast as I’ve ever seen!

Comet 12P Pons-Brooks passing by the star Sadr in the Cygnus constellation. January 14, 2024

They are calling it the Devil Comet, 12P Pons-Brooks had an outburst last month when it was passing through Lyra and appeared to have horns. Interested to see how this changes as it gets close to the sun. This was taken with a C9.25 XLT and an ASI2600MC Duo #astronomy

M78 and a portion of Barnard's Loop in Orion #astronomy. M78 can be tracked down in 8x40 binoculars close to Orion's belt

M1, the Crab Nebula. Remnants of a star that exploded over 1000 years ago, many cultures recorded a new star visible during the day that faded after a couple years #universe #Space

NGC 2174, the Monkey Head Nebula This is a small emission nebula located in the Orion constellation approximately 6400 light years away. Reminds me of the original Planet of the Apes 😛 #space #clouds #astronomy #astrophotography

The California Nebula is in the Perseus constellation. It is more massive than our minds can comprehend, spans almost 5 moon diameters in our sky despite being around 1000 light years away. #space #clouds #nebula #california #astrophotography

This is what a 'dying' star looks like. Some stars have violent ends with brilliant supernova explosions and some just lose their atmospheres into space, that is what's happening here. The Headphone Nebula! #photography #telescope #Astrophotography

Comet 62P/Tsuchinshan is currently traversing a rich field of galaxies in Virgo, as captured on February 4 by John Chumack. See how many background interlopers you can identify — they include NGC 4567/8, NGC 4596, NGC 4578, and NGC 4519.

The Draco Triplet damianpeach.com/deepsky23/drac… This small group of galaxies in the constellation Draco is around 140 million l.y. away. It consists of two spiral galaxies (left and right) either side of an elliptical galaxy at centre. 17"CDK with Morovian camera. LRGB. 3hrs total
