Abell 1377 Galaxy Cluster and neighborhood
11 images in luminance showing the galaxy cluster Abell 1377, each with 180 seconds of exposure, captured using a 0.61m f/6.5 Corrected Dall-Kirkham Astrograph at the Sierra Remote Observatory. Calibration, registration, and stacking were performed with IRIS. Before removing the background gradient, a star mask was applied to reduce the star brightness, allowing the galaxy behind to become more visible.

NGC1097 (Caldwell 67)
NGC 7640 in Andromeda
Barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda, distant about 40 million light years from Earth.

Messier 5 with ASTRA Telescope

Messier 5 is a globular cluster in the constellation Serpens distant from Earth 25000 light years.
This is the processed image from the sequence of images shot by Susy Ghia using the 150mm f/5.35 refractor, part of the network of ASTRA remote telescope in Castiglione del Lago, Italy.
