Two fantastic new galaxy pictures by Adam Block! :D :D :D

NGC 7753 and UGC 3697, The Integral Sign Galaxy! :D :D :D

Note, by the way, all the pale nebulosity in the NGC 7753 image. That nebulosity is almost certainly the integrated flux nebulae.

Here is an animation of C/2012 S1 ISON taken through a 4-inch refractor, starting at 23h on the 15th of Jan and ending at 01h on the 16th. The comet is clearly visible moving among the stars of Gemini, in an area just to the south of Castor. Heres a direct link to the animation:

This wide-field panorama of star formation was captured with the National Science Foundation’s Mayall 4-meter telescope on Kitt Peak. Located in the constellation of Orion (the Hunter), the image show a portion of one of Orion’s giant molecular clouds (known as “Orion A”) where new stars are forming.
