Re: APOD: M95: Spiral Galaxy with an Inner Ring (2019 May 29)
I am thinking it was a smaller galaxy with a merger...now settling down...the older stars are yellow and in the center area, right? Then new younger stars and star formation kind of "homogenized the mix"...the greater concentration of gravity was buttressed in the ring...you can still see ...

Re: APOD: Stars, Dust, and Gas near NGC 3572 (2019 May 28)
What a great composite picture! But what is the blue oval-shaped ring in the left upper half of the picture? Hydrogen, oxygen, or sulfur? Generally Blue... is Oxygen in this type image...Sulfur is Yellow, and Hydrogen is Red... I don't know if that changes with the Broadband RGB blended though... :...

Really nice, and eerie image... I found it interesting to see Moons of Jupiter...as I have taken pictures of Jupiter, but not enough exposure to get the moons...at least with my Camcorder.

I like the detail, and the expanse...I don't always THINK to flip my images...but my new software for the ZWO camera can do it while imaging. My old M20 from my 10" Meade from 2013...with my old DSI 2 color camera... processed to bring out the vibrancy of colors. Central close up view... :---[=...

Re: APOD: Dark Skies: Turn on the Night (2019 May 16)
I live in a mobile home park. Lots of yard lights.
I live a bit out of town, but still to the north are the city lights.
I still get images of M51... from the Driveway...
But, yes...could be better... but then we would all be mugged by the druggie neighbors...

Re: APOD: Anemic Spiral NGC 4921 from Hubble (2019 May 15)
It appears to be common in the coma cluster. Hydrogen is being stripped off by the intergalactic medium, leaving galaxies deficient... this galaxy has a high relative velocity...7,560 km/s, which probably does not help...
Many galaxies in the vicinity look in similar condition.

Maybe it is another Whirlpool galaxy? This looks nothing like M51...at all...it is not the perspective. As a simulation, or a representation, it is a "CROPPED" view...with much missing. I can see some similarity in the "forked" dust lanes at the bottom of this simulation...but th...
