One of the things I enjoy most about astrophotography is the excitement of capturing an object I've never captured before. Regardless of how many objects I observe, the excitement of seeing something for the first time never changes. Tonight I took a look at the Headphone Nebula!
Jones-Emberson 1, also known as the Headphone Nebula, is a 14th magnitude planetary nebula in the constellation Lynx at a distance of 1600 light years. It is a larger planetary with low surface brightness. The 16.8-magnitude central star is a very blue white dwarf.Β

With clear skies and the backyard no longer saturated, I was able to move from the brightly lit driveway to my typical backyard spot away from street lights. I had more visibility of the W/SW skies also, so I went after the Seagull Nebula. This is a great start of only 2 hours of data. I also captured a quick livestack of the skull and Crossbones Nebula.

Markarian's Chain is a stretch of galaxies that forms part of the Virgo Cluster. When viewed from Earth, the galaxies lie along a smoothly curved line. Charles Messier first discovered two of the galaxies, M84 and M86, in 1781.
I recorded about an hour and a half of m51 data tonight and stacked it with 2 hours of data from last month.

We finally got a night of uninterrupted clear skies last night. So I went after the Sombrero Galaxy, M104. It was so nice being back outside observing! Here's what I captured.
Messier 104 (M104), also known as the Sombrero Galaxy, is a majestic unbarred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Virgo. The galaxy has an apparent magnitude of 8.98 and lies at a distance of 29.3 million light years from Earth. It has the designation NGC 4594 in the New General Catalog.
2 hours of 300s exposures live stacked in sharpcap.
