Thank you for your lovely images of beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 1566, Michael!

Your picture of the supernova, ASASSN-14ha, (what a name!) is intriguing. Its non-blue color suggests that it is not a supernova type Ia, and its location right next to a dust lane and its probable proximity to massive stars suggests that it is a core-collapse supernova. Indeed that appears to be the case.

This magnificent spiral galaxy in Dorado gets its name from its resemblance to the swirling dress of a spinning female Spanish dancer when viewed from above

This is not an image of the sun's surface, but rather one of the Pelican Nebula taken in Ha and displayed in a modified "hot iron" false color palette.

Clouds of two colors

: Click to view full size image

This is a recent picture of mine taken on Maunakea, Hawaii.
This wide-field image of the Pleiades shows dust clouds of two distinct colors.
The blue clouds are all close to Pleiades. They reflect the light from the
blue, young stars in the cluster. There are also very diffused clouds all over
the image, and they are yellowish. They reflect the light from the large
number of older, less massive stars in the Milky Way.

Triple the Clusters, Triple the Fun by Radical Retinoscopy, on Flickr

From top to bottom: M38, M36 and M37 were photographed in the constellation Auriga. This stack of 22 twenty second exposures (Canon T2i, ISO 800, f/3.2, 100 mm lens) is framed by the bright stars Alnath (Β Tau) the the right and θ Aur to the left. A thin layer of high clouds added a soft glow to the bright stars. Tracking was done with an iOptron Sky Tracker . The stacking was performed in Nebulosity.
