Astrophotography from the Ajo, AZ area

NGC 1300. I did this earlier but added more exposure. I think it is a pretty neat looking galaxy.
From Wikipedia:
NGC 1300 is a barred spiral galaxy about 61 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. The galaxy is about
110,000 light-years across (about 2/3 the size of the Milky Way). It is a member of the Eridanus Cluster, a cluster of 200 galaxies.



The Owl Nebula and the Surfboard Galaxy, in the Big Dipper.

One of my favorite galaxies, the Needle Galaxy (NGC 4565) in Coma Berenices.
NGC 4565 is a giant spiral galaxy more luminous than the Andromeda Galaxy.

My ultimate Horsehead Nebula.
