Captured from my backyard observatory (SkyShed POD-S) here in the Northern Adirondacks of Upstate New York. To me, this is one of the most fascinating interacting galaxy pairs in the sky. This system, known as Arp 273, sits about 300 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. The larger galaxy (UGC 1810) has been pulled into a dramatic, rose-like spiral by the gravitational influence of its smaller companion (UGC 1813). The result is an incredible cosmic distor

M31 - Andromeda The Andromeda Galaxy (M31), a spiral galaxy located approximately 2.5 million light-years away. Andromeda Galaxy spans more than 220,000 light-years across and contains roughly a trillion stars — more than twice the number in our own Milky Way. If you look closely, you can spot its satellite galaxies M32 and M110, which appear as soft elliptical glows nearby.

First light processed image from the remotely operated SkyShed POD-S. The motor kit is installed and it is working flawlessly. NGC660, a polar-ring galaxy about 45 million light-years away in the constellation Pisces. The warped, X-shaped structure is the result of a galactic collision — a spiral galaxy that likely captured material from a passing neighbor, forming a stunning ring of gas, dust, and stars that orbits at a sharp angle to its main disk.
