The Sombrero Galaxy is an unbarred spiral galaxy 28 million light-years from Earth. The galaxy has a diameter of approximately 50,000 light-years, 30% the size of the Milky Way.

While looking through the data captured of NGC 1365, I discovered an object slowly moving through the field of view. I have identified the object as asteroid 2015 TG₂₃₇, discovered just last month.

While looking through the data captured last night of NGC 1055, I discovered an object slowly moving through the field of view. It seems to be moving much more slowly than a satellite, so I can only conclude it must be an asteroid. Thanks to Le_Baron on Reddit, the asteroid was identified as 2002 UY₁.

NGC5710 is a rarely photographed spiral galaxy approximately 96 million light years distant. The core is comprised of old yellow stars, with young blue stars in its spiral arms, obscured by prominent dust lanes.

NGC 3717 is a large spiral galaxy 60 million light years from Earth. Although 100,000 light years across, seen side-on, the galactic disk appears thin with prominent dust lanes.

NGC 1808 has an unusual, warped shape. Most spiral galaxies are flat disks, but this one has curls of dust and gas at its outer spiral arms.

The Fornax Cluster is a cluster of 58 galaxies centered around 62 million light years distant.

This southern sky barred spiral galaxy shines bright in the southern skies, from about 45 million light-years away.

IC 5325 is a rarely photographed spiral galaxy in the Phoenix constellation

Perhaps too tough of a target for light polluted skies, elliptical galaxy NGC 474 still managed to show some tidal tails / shells from interacting with the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 470.

IC 5267 (left) is a spiral galaxy 79 million light years away.

NGC 5713 (right) is a peculiar, asymmetric galaxy, interacting with NGC 5719 (left) in the constellation Virgo.

A trio of interacting galaxies. NGC 5560, which is stretched out from interacting with the large galaxy NGC 5566 (yellow). NGC 5569 is the small, blue galaxy below NGC 5566.

IC4351 is an obscure spiral galaxy 123 million light years from Earth.
