Painted Damsel
My favorite so far of American Rubyspot
Messier 74 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces.
It is about 32 million light-years away from Earth.
I got the Cave Nebula this time. Also named Sh2-155 or Sharpless 155 , it is a diffuse nebula in the constellation Cepheus, within a larger nebula complex containing emission, reflection, and dark nebulosity. Very faint and difficult to photograph.
I've been trying to get a shot of this species of dragonfly for several days now.
It rarely lands but when it does, it hangs like this. The Blue-eyed Darner.
