A new view over the Statue of Liberty Nebula has been uploaded
Hi all,
A new version of the Statue of Liberty has been uploaded. This time, only the fragment with the “statue” has been reprocessed, mapping the color with the (unusual for me) Hubble palette.

An image of Gum 15 has been uploaded
Hi all,
We are back to the nebulae. This time, a segment of a very large emission nebula just North of the Vela Supernova Remnant. This nebula was catalogued by Colin Gum (1955), as well as by Rodgers, Campbell and Whiteoak. It then receives the names Gum 15 and RCW 32.

An image of Messier 62 has been uploaded
Hi all,
Again an image of a globular cluster. This time, Messier 62 takes the stage. Another high resolution Messier for the project. This is, like M15, M30, M70 and M79, a compact cluster that underwent core collapse. You can find additional info and the image at:

An image of the spiral galaxy NGC 1232 has been uploaded
Hi all,
An image of the beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 1232 has been uploaded. This quite large galaxy has several unique-ish characteristics. In 2013, the CHANDRA X-ray Observatory took an image of this galaxy and revealed an, until then, unknown smoking gun of a previous collision with a dwarf galaxy. You can find this and more at:

An image of Messier 106 has been uploaded
Hi all,
This is the third Messier galaxy that is uploaded today. This time, M106 in on stage. This galaxy has somw peculiarities. It has not one, but two sets of arms. One with stars (as usual) and the second set of arms with hot gas. Another peculiarity is the existence of a water megamaser at its central ring. This has allowed the cosmologists to determine, with good precision, our distance to M106.

An image of Messier 81 has been uploaded
Hi all,
An image of Messier 81 (Bode’s Galaxy) has been uploaded. This is a grand design spiral and its arms do not show much structure (contrary to other, more disturbed galaxies, like M51).
