Solar Activity 5-11-24 - First Light the ASI174MM These are the first images with my ZWO ASI174MM. It was the perfect morning to do this especially coming off of the aurora's the night before.

Caught a bit of the Aurora here in Monroe!

Messier 95 (2024) This is my latest version of Messier 95, the previous version is from five years ago. M95 or NGC 3351 is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 38 million light-years away and 70,000 ly across making it about half the size of our own Milky Way.

This was from yesterday and is my best solar image taken with a simple inexpensive white light filter (Daystar N5 film) - however, it was with my new solar camera (ZWO ASI174MM). Higher Quality - annotated version astrobin.com/2cd4d4/?nc=col…
