NGC3115 Spindle Galaxy and Millenium Galaxy Catalogue MGC
When looking at my astropicture of NGC3115, the Spindle Galaxy, I saw a blur south of the galaxy. At first I was thinking of a camera fault but when uploading the picture in Astronometry it showed aswell a blur as a result. Interesting in fact, astronometry did not put any reference. So I started searching around and found the NGC3115 galaxy to be associated with two galaxies of which one is MGC-1-26-21, located exactly on the same spot as on my picture.
What is MGC : this is the Millennium Galaxy Catalogue.
Astropictures DeepSky Objects
So I decided to talk some pictures of some Deep Sky object. They are not perfect due to the Moon. Pictures are taken with TAL200K f/8.5 and Nikon D7500. No darks were taken and pictures are stacked with DeepSkyStacker (format DNG). CS4 was used for final editing.
- Messier M46 : Open Star Cluster with Planetary Nebula NGC 2438
- Messier M48 : Open Star Cluster
- Messier M81 : Galaxy
- Messier M65 and M66 : Galaxy
- Messier M67 : Open Star Cluster
- NGC 1545: Open Star Cluster
- Messier M42 :Orion Nebula
- NGC 2903 : Galaxy
- NGC 3115 : Galaxy, with a black hole of 2 billion Sunmasses!
Regulus
Alpha Leonis or Regulus is a star located about 79 light years from our Sun. The picture was taken with a Bathinov Mask in prepartion of deep sky photography.
Orion Nebula Messier M42
A clear sky and almost full Moon. So not perfect for deep sky objects, but still I was able to shoot the Orion Nebula Messier M42. The bright nebula was taken using Nikon 7500 on TAL200K. Editing of Jpeg with CS4.

How huge are prominences
This afternoon the Sun was covered with huge prominences. But how huge? I made some calculations and draw Earth next to the large prominence.
