I think this image is absolutely amazing, and I found this page where Josh himself talks about it.

I like that image as well. It's quite eye-catching despite the objects contain within being so small.

[starsurfer]

I also love this image, it looks really striking and unique! At first I was confused and I was thinking it was an amateur image that combined professional data but it is actually an amateur image taken with commercial infrared filters!! Cool!

NGC 2903 is a intermediate weak-barred spiral galaxy (SABbc) found in the constellation Leo. Discovered by W. Herschel in 1784, NGC 2903 is approximately 20 to 30 million light years away. Image was taken with a 12.5” f/9 RCOS telescope and a SBIG STF8300c camera with an OAG (ST-i) on a Paramount ME. Image a total of 15 hr 20 min of combined exposures taken on 12, 13 Jan and 8,9,12 Feb 2016 in Mayhill, NM (46 x 1200 sec lights @ -15 degrees C, dithered; 30 darks; 128 bias; 128 flats). Processed in PixInsight 1.8.4.1195.

This is the great globular cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139) the brightest and grandest globular
cluster of them all. When you consider this deep frame is almost 2 deg on the side you can
appreciate the enormous amount of sky this ball of stars takes up and equates to an area several
times that off the full moon! Many distant background galaxies can be found peeping through the
millions of foreground Milky Way stars and some very faint Milky Way Cirrus dust can be seen
hovering across the lower half of the frame too.

Those are very fine pictures, José Jiménez Priego! Cassiopeia doesn't get the attention it deserves.

And José Mtanous and Cesar Cantu Quiroga, that's a lovely portrait of the Leo Triplet! What a tidal tail for NGC 3628!

And that's a wonderful urban Moon, Stan Honda!
