Galaxy Gallery 1997-2000

As we lead our daily lives, our planet Earth rotates around our Sun cradled within the Milky Way galaxy we belong to. Nightly, amateur astronomers around the world peer into the sky with their telescopes and CCD cameras.

At distances of millions of light-years away, we see the distant galaxies like our own located at inconceivable distances away.

These are the many distant galaxies that I have seen and imaged from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex so far...

NGC 2685, NGC 3115, NGC 4038/4039, NGC 6027, NGC 7331, NGC 7392

A member of a rare class of Polar-Ring galaxies

Star Party #4 in Argyle, super massive black hole

Collision system of two galaxies
with a strong source of radio emissions detected in 1957

Farthest object imaged, galaxy with companions
from mag 13.4 to 16.5

NGC 7335 (lower right) at mag 14.5,
NGC 7337 (upper right) at mag 15.2

NGC 708, NGC 891, NGC 1023, M32, M51, M60

Dark lane of dust along its length, one of my favorite objects

Spiral with companion NGC 5195, located 9 million light years away. Over 65,000 light-years across

1st object located by computer control,
NGC 4647 is a mag 12.1 companion spiral galaxy

M64, M77, M81, M82

Dust lane gives it the "black-eye".
It blazes with an energy about 31 billion times that of our sun.

Bright core, strong emission lines and radio source the brightest of the peculiar "Seyfert galaxies"

Multiple black holes, called Cigar, Starburst Galaxy, possible victim of a cosmic collision with M81

M87, M88, M96, M104

5th strongest radio source, a strong source of x-rays
and a black hole candidate
