M31 - 19th October 2007

M31 (the Andromeda galaxy). 10 images stacked and a total exposure time of 150 sec. 12 darkframes.

Spiral structure is visible. M32 (top left) and M110 (bottom) are also visible. Seeing: 10.5" (uncertainty: 0.5-1").

NCG 1058 (August)

The following image shows NGC 1058 which has an active galaxy nucleus (AGN). The very bright star in the galaxy is a supernova (1C).

The image was created during a image-reduction-project at KU. The raw images are made at the La Silla-observatory in Chile (not by me...).

I have used B, V and H-alpha-filters (blue, green and red) to create the colour image.
