The Leo Triplet - three spiral galaxies 35 million light-years away in Leo.

NGC 3628 appears perfectly edge-on, its dust lane and warped disk shaped by billions of years of tidal interaction. M65 and M66 complete the trio with asymmetric arms and disrupted structure.

Hier soir, j'ai retenté une petite #astrophoto avec mon GX9 avec pour cible M97 / Nébuleuse de l'hibou. Je vais ptet plutôt investir dans une camera spécialisé en fait... (avec même capteur qu'un Seestar ?)

Eines der schärfsten Bilder, das jemals vom Nordpol des #Saturn aufgenommen wurde, zeigt einen perfekt symmetrischen, sechseckigen Sturm, der seit Jahrzehnten tobt.
Dieser gewaltige Sturm erstreckt sich über mehr als 30.000 km und ist damit größer als die Erde selbst.

Messier 106
=========

That galaxy has four arms — but two of them aren't made of stars.

M106 in Canes Venatici is a Seyfert galaxy with an active nucleus powerful enough to drive jets of hot gas out of its own disk. The glowing blue structures flanking the spiral are shock-heated plasma, not star-forming regions. Also in the frame: the edge-on NGC 4217, the gravitationally entangled pair NGC 4231/4232, and a handful of fainter background galaxies.

Scope: Askar 103APO
Lens: Askar 1.0x Flattener
Camera: ZWO ASI 294MC Pro
Filter: Svbony UV/IR-Cut
Mount: SkyWatcher AZ-EQ5-GT
Guiding: SkyWatcher Evoguide 50ED with ZWO ASI 224MC
Controller: ZWO ASIAir Pro
Focusser: ZWO EAF

M106 is one of those objects that rewards a closer look. What appears to be extra spiral arms is actually shock-heated gas pushed out of the galactic plane by jets from an active nucleus. This field also captures NGC 4217 edge-on, the interacting pair NGC 4231/4232, and several fainter neighbors.
