M33 Spiral Galaxy by Gerry Aarts366 viewsPart of the Local Group of galaxies that includes Andromeda and the Milky Way. M33 is not an ideal Southern Hemisphere object to view or image. I captured this one at Mudgee NSW when the galaxy was around 20 degrees above the horizon. 10 x 4 minute subs for a total of 40 minutes exposure. Celestron GPS11 with Hyperstar f1.8 lens and Meade DSI III camera.gerry aarts

NGC 4565 Galaxy by Gerry Aarts351 viewsOne of the most spectacular edge on spirals you can view through your telescope. The bright central core bulges out of both sides of the galaxy. Around 49 million light years distant this is how our galaxy would appear if approached edge on. Imaged at our WSAAG Linden dark sky site in NSW Australia. 10 x 15 seconds combined exposures. Celestron GPS11, Hyperstar f1.8 lens, Meade DSI 111 camera.gerry aarts

Leo Triplet ( M66 Group ) Galaxies by Gerry Aarts452 viewsA stunning sight this group of galaxies gives us an opprtunity to view or image a face on spiral, partly edge on spiral and an edge on spiral galaxy in the one field of view. Imaged this at WSAAG's Linden Observatory dark sky observing site. Appr 35 million light years distant.M66 & M65 on the bottom and NGC 3628 at the top. Celestron GPS11, f1.8 hyperstar lens, Meade DSI 111 Colour camera. A meteor or satelite crossed through the centre.gerry aarts

NGC 1097 Galaxy by Gerry Aarts294 viewsI have to image this one again under better rconditions in the future. NGC 1097 and 1097A is a barred spiral galaxy. It is also a Seyfert type radio galaxy. It has a very bright and active nucleus. 15 x 1 minute exposures. Celestron GPS11 at f3.3. Meade DSIc. Linden Observatory, Blue Mountains Australia.gerry aarts

NGC 7793 Spiral Galaxy by Gerry Aarts174 viewsA beautiful face on spiral galaxy that to me seems to shine like a box of jewels. A galaxy not unlike our own that contains 200 billion stars. The foreground stars are in our Milky Way Galaxy. NGC7793 is about 10 million light years distant. 21 x 30 seconds exposures with Celestron GPS11 at f3.3, Meade DSIc, Taken at our observing site at Linden, Blue Mountains in October 2007.
