Needle galaxy, NGC 4565 or C 38, is a spiral galaxy aprox. 30-50 million light years away. The galaxy is facing Earth from it's edge-side. In the picture taken March 28. 2024, another galaxy can be seen, NGC 4562. The picture consists of 3 hours data( Skywatcher 200PDS, Zwo ASI 585MC, EQ6R pro) "Nearby" galaxy NGC 4562 ..read more

Yes I definitely have! These galaxies are among my favourite ones, they are easy to catch and absolutely impressive... M101 Pinwheel Galaxy, 21 million LY away. M82 or the Cigar Galaxy, 12 million light years from Earth. This starburst galaxy is one of the objects that I continue to point at, in my struggle to improve the image quality ..read more

The Andromeda galaxy M31, along with the galaxies M32 and M110, approx. 2.9 million LY from Earth.(January 6. 2024 ..read more

2024, a new year and time for new adventures pointing at the night sky above "the new King's" Copenhagen. Slowly upgrading my equipment and improve my techniques, I am able to go father and deeper in the universe:-) Galaxy season... NGC 3628 or Hamburger Galaxy. It lies 35 million light years from Earth in the Leo constellation. This image consists of 50 stacked pictures(subs)180 sec/Iso 200, shoot with my 200PDS and Zwo ASI 585MC in the January freezing cold... The beautiful NGC 3627 Galaxy in the Leo constellation.... NGC 3623 is the last member of the Leo galaxy trio ..read more

In May 2023 a special event took place in the galaxy M101. A giant star located in the outer spiral arm of this galaxy, exploded as a supernova(SN 2023ixf) 21 million light-years away. I think this rare event was a need-to-have picture in my image collection. 40 frames x 240 sec, exp. 100, Zwo 485MC( cooled), skywatcher 200PDS and a lot of coffee ..read more

April month, fair weather and clear skies at last. Galaxy season, but also time to zoom in on a few interesting nebulae. Skywatcher 200PDS/HEQ5, ZWO 485MC( Cooling modified)and Powermate 4 x for planetary imaging. NGC 6888 (Crescent Nebula), Whirlpool Galaxy M51(NGC 5194), Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038/NGC 4039), Monkey Head Nebula (NGC 2174) and The Elephant's Trunk Nebula ..read more

Venus our sister planet April 2.th 2023, with its sulfuric acid atmosphere and high surface pressure. This cloudy thick atmosphere is contributing to the intense heat on this planet, which can reach temperatures of about 475 C, not a place we can expect to find life…..or can we? 5 min. capture using Skywatcher 200PDS, Powermate 4x, ASI485MC, Firecapture, Gain:127, Exposure:.7ms ..read more

I caught this fish recently in the constellation Gemini, 5000 light years from earth. This beautiful nebula is likely an old supernova remnant. I was lucky to capture the object, the weather was starting to become a little hazy, and in the light polluted city like Copenhagen( bortle scale is 7-8) I should be pretty happy with the result. More to come on my astrophotography blog... Exposure 20 x 5 min, Gain 200 on my Zwo ASI485MC ..read more
