NGC 3079 is a nice galaxy for any size telescope although a large one would bring out some very good structure. However, this is not the main reason I took this image, if offers a couple of unique In the very lower right corner you will come across AGC 899, a tiny galactic cluster. NGC 3073 sits to the lower right of NGC 3079 and CGCG 266-7 is to the upper right of NGC 3079. In the lower left of the image sites UGC 5421 around 18th mag.
The last object is hard to find. If you start with NGC 3079 and follow a straight line up you will come to 4 stars that look much like the southern cross in the southern hemisphere. Just to the right and slightly above the 4 stars is a tiny double star that has a bluest color. This object is known as the Twin Quasar and is 16.7 magnitude. Although it took just over 9 billion years to reach earth, the red shift of this object now places it 13.8 billion light years away today. I have a friend that knows all about Quasars and told me about this one. This marks the most distant object I ever imaged.
Taken with my 8 inch F/4 and the QSI 583 WSG and guided with the Starlight Xpress Lodestar. LRGB filters with AstroDon Series II. Taken at the San Pedro Valley observatory, Benson, AZ.

Antipodes Milky Way

Top panorama is the rising Milky Way as seen from Cape Gelidonya, near Kumluca, Antalya, Turkey. This rocky headland is one of the southernmost points of the Anatolian subcontinent before the Mediterranean takes over. Bottom panorama shows the Milky Way setting, as seen from Rock Pools near Oneroa village in Mangaia, Cook Islands in the South Pacific.
I put these pictures together to get this antipodean look at the same stretch of the Milky Way, from Deneb to Antares. The foregrounds make good representation of the northern and southern hemispheres. In north hemisphere there is a considerable span of continental mass and in south hemisphere, it is mostly ocean. Nice way to see that the sky does not end at the horizon and there is more to see down below.

This is what I like to call the "poor man's" deep field view. Normally the Earth seems like a pretty big place. However when you look outside the Milky Way our every day surroundings start looking pretty small. This image shows a galaxy cluster called the “Coma Cluster”. The galaxy cluster is about 350 million light years distant and contains over 1,000 identified galaxies. Needless to say each of these 1000 galaxies contains billions and billions of stars and their surrounding planets. The blue dots in the upper image represent galaxies. The image to the right is a close up view of the central region done by the Spitzer Space Telescope. The brightest galaxies in this image are about 2000 times dimmer than the brightest star in our sky.
