Arp 79 / PGC 50584
A small spiral that seems out of place in Arp’s pantheon of Peculiar Galaxies
M51 / Arp 85 / Whirlpool Galaxy (Revisit)
A revisit to a favorite target on a mediocre night
Arp 138 | NGC 4015
Arp saw this as “material emanating from E. galaxies.” Most modern observers see a spiral merging.
NGC 4682: a Vera Rubin Galaxy
My only capture – barely – on a piss-poor night
NGC 4753
Mysterious dust lanes surrounding a lenticular galaxy
UGC 3691: a Vera Rubin Galaxy
One of Vera’s smallest and least bright galaxies.
NGC 3628 | Hamburger Galaxy
A fascinating edge-on galaxy normally depicted as the vertex of the Leo Triplet.
Hockey Stick Galaxy / NGC 4656-7 (CN 4-26 Challenge)
Revisit to a classic. Mono imaging takes you much deeper.
NGC 3184 | Little Pinwheel Galaxy
A gorgeous face-on spiral in Ursa Major, discovered by William Herschel in 1787.
NGC 4278
An elliptical galaxy discovered by (who else?) William Herschel in 1785.
Arp 313 / NGC 3995 / NGC 3994 / NGC 3991
A fascinating trio
Arp 300 / UGC 05028 / UGC 05029
An enigmatic pair of interacting galaxies stimulating stellar growth
