Astronomy, Astro Photography and Landscape Photography
Galery – Galaxies
If I were to pick one astronomical subject I was forced to photograph for the rest of my life it would be galaxies. I enjoy photographing the rarely seen, distant and intriguing galaxies, ones that make you wonder about other possibilities of life, how galaxies evolved, and where our galaxy, solar system and planet evolved from.
This page contains a few of my galaxy photographs (I have photographs of over 5,000 galaxies in total).
Supernova in NGC 5128 (Hamberger / Centaurus A galaxy), discovered by Australians Peter Marples and Greg Bock of the BOSS team.
This is a photograph of the galaxy NGC 5247. 25 x 300 second exposures using the ST8-XME @ bin 1×1 and the 12″ at 2200mm focal length.
NGC 4536 (12″ SCT @ 2200mm focal length, ST8-XME @ bin 1×1, 18 x 300 second unguided exposures, averaged).
NGC 1532 (galaxy in the constellation of Fornax). 22 x 300s clear + 30 x 180s blue + 30 x 180s green + 30 x 180s red. ST8-XME, 12″ SCT @ ~2200mm (0.84″/pixel).
