Image Description and Details : The Globular Cluster of Hercules or Messier 13 or even NGC 6205 is a globular cluster visible in the constellation of Hercules. It is the brightest globular cluster in the northern hemisphere and is also visible to the naked eye. The estimated distance from the solar system is just over 25,000 a.l.

Saturn, with the resplendent colours of its southern hemisphere.

I had superb seeing for this session and that has resulted in a lot of detail being resolved in the planet's atmosphere.

There is a large storm cell in the NNTeZ on the p side of the Central Meridian, which could be seen in both the RGB and IR images. On its f side a series of small ovals can be observed.

This is the first image I have captured where there is clearly discernible activity in the southern hemisphere now that the ring tilt is allowing us to see that. On the northern side of what I think is the SSTeB, there is quite a dark feature on the f side of the Central Meridian nearer to the limb, again clearly discernible in RGB and IR. On the p side of this feature is a line of small ovals and festoons.

Image Description and Details : The "Cocoon" nebula is aptly named: it is a magnificent nursery of stars, located about 3500 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. The "Cocoon" is home to a small open cluster (called "Collinder 470") that reveals about 20 stars. If it does not have the generous apparent dimensions of other well-known star-forming places, such as the Orion or Lagoon nebulae, the Cocoon nebula is nevertheless the seat of a sustained activity of star creation, the great majority of which are actually hidden behind the dark dust bands. The Cocoon Nebula also has a "bluish" zone around the edge of the ionized zone, which does not result from the same physical mechanism. In this zone, the light does not result from the absorption of stellar radiation by the gas and its re-emission at a lower energy (red zones), but from a simpler "reflection" of the light by the surrounding dust clouds.

Image Description and Details : Galaxy M94 or Ngc 4736 is located about 14 million light years away in the constellation of the Hounds. The M94 galaxy is certainly one of the most beautiful galaxies observable in the spring sky. NGC 4736 was discovered by the French astronomer Pierre Méchain in 1781. Messier 94 is thought to have a diameter of 30,000 to 50,000 A.L. corresponding to its main nucleus. Beyond this, a much fainter looking halo extends another few tens of thousands of A.L. This picture was taken in Alentejo (South Portugal) in Remote de France by Team ARO from 04/07/22 to 05/08/22. Astrosib 400/3200 telescope on DDM 85 ASA mount. Camera Moravian G3 16200. Lum=89X5'.

Image Description and Details : In recent months, and more precisely from March 19th to June 5th, I have concentrated on shooting the portion of the sky between the constellations of Leo, Virgo and Coma Berenices. This is a very rich field of galaxies from the Leo Triplet to the Virgo Cluster, some very small, some larger that show interesting details and others that appear as a simple wad of light with the brightest core in the center. In total, I acquired about 77 hours of signal to compose 17 images in which I could count (thanks to the annotations of Pixinsight), in addition to the 21 subjects belonging to the Messier catalogue that were my main subjects, 44 galaxies belonging to the NGC catalogue (New General Catalogue), 29 belonging to the IC catalogue (Index Catalogue) and 760 remote galaxies belonging to the PGC catalogue (Principal Galaxies Catalogue). I close my first galaxy season with this composition of the main galaxies captured, namely the 21 cataloged by Messier and others in the NGC catalogue, including the Hamburger Galaxy, the Markarian's Eye and the Siamese Twins.

Image Description and Details : DeHt 2 is a faint (mag 14.9) planetary nebula in Ophiuchus. It is estimated to be 6000 to 10,000 light years from Earth. It was discovered in 1979 by J. Dengel, H. Hartl and R. Weinberger. The mag 13.5 spiral galaxy at upper left is UGC10943, located about 115 million light years away.

Image Description and Details : Saturn on 18th August 2021. This is a substantially south up view. The seeing was excellent throughout the night of capture. The conditions allowed resolution of finest details on the planet's cloud tops. The Encke Division could be seen in the Blue images, which is unusual. The Maxwell Gap in the C Ring is also well resolved, especially in the colour image.

Image Description and Details : Rare are the spiral galaxies that we see exactly from the front. The spiral galaxy NGC6946 located in the constellation Cepheus is about 10 million light-years away.
She hides behind the curtain of stars formed by the Milky Way which crosses the constellation of Cepheus. Its orange central bulb is made up of old stars while the blue
young star clusters dominate in the spiral arms. Red reveals the presence of areas where stars are born.
The activity is so inetnse that one calls this galaxy, the galaxy of the fireworks.

When the light from this galaxy began its journey to strike my photographic in May 2022, the human line appeared (Sahelanthropus tchadensis) on Earth.

The galaxy is accompanied by an open cluster NGC6939 located in the lower right. Much closer to us than the galaxy (4000 light years), its age has been revealed between 1.0 and 1.3 billion years!

Image Description and Details : Sharpless 101 (Sh2-101) is a H II region emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is sometimes also called the Tulip Nebula because it appears to resemble the outline of a tulip when imaged photographically. It was catalogued by astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 catalogue of nebulae. It lies at a distance of about 6,000 light-years (5.7×1016 km; 3.5×1016 mi) from Earth.

Sh2-101, at least in the field seen from Earth, is in close proximity to microquasar Cygnus X-1, site of one of the first suspected black holes. Cygnus X-1. The companion star of Cygnus X-1 is a spectral class O9.7 Iab supergiant with a mass of 21 solar masses and 20 times the radius of the Sun. The period of the binary system is 5.8 days and the pair is separated by 0.2 astronomical units. The black hole has a mass of 15 solar masses and a Schwarzschild radius of 45 km. A bowshock is created by a jet of energetic particles from the black hole as they interact with the interstellar medium can be seen as an arc (bluish) to the right of the "Tulip".
