CCD Project - Images of galaxies and non-Milky Way supernovae

Set your monitor to more than 256 colors if possible.

M51 M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy. 27 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2002 June 15 from Crockett.
M108 M108, irregular galaxy in Ursa Major. 29 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2002 June 15 from Crockett.
Keenan System The Keenan System, including NGC 5216, mag 14 galaxy in Ursa Major. 7 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2002 June 15 from Crockett.
M65 M65. 6 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2002 February 7 from Savage.
M66 M66. 9 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2002 February 7 from Savage.
M74 and supernova M74, with supernova (middle of 3 stars in the horizontal row at upper left). 7 stacked 60 second exposures, about half of them through tree branches, taken 2002 February 7 from Savage. Compare to an older image of M74 below.
M74 M74, face-on spiral galaxy. 12 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2001 November 11 from Savage.
M105 group M105 galaxy group. M105 is at left. 6 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2002 February 7 from Savage.
NGC 2976 NGC 2976, galaxy near M81 and M82. 4 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2002 February 7 from Savage.
NGC 3628 NGC 3628. 6 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2002 February 7 from Savage.
M95 M95. 4 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2002 February 7 from Savage.
M96 M96. 5 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2002 February 7 from Savage.
M82 M82, an irregular galaxy in Ursa Major. 17 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2001 October 20 from Savage.
IC342 IC342, face-on spiral galaxy. 20 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2001 October 20 from Savage.
NGC 891 NGC 891, edge-on spiral galaxy. 17 stacked 60 second exposures taken 2001 October 20 from Savage.
UGC 3697 UGC 3697, the "Integral Galaxy". 60 second exposure taken 2001 February 17 from Mickey Gordon.
M104 M104, the Sombrero Galaxy. 60 second exposure taken 2001 February 17 from Mickey Gordon.
NGC 253 NGC 253, nearly edge-on spiral galaxy. 30 second exposure taken 2000 October 28 from Savage.
NGC7331 The NGC 7331 group. 120 second exposure taken 2000 September 30 at the NOVA Star Party. There's four other little galaxies in there, off to the right of 7331, ranging from mag 13.4 to mag 15. Compare with the Digital Sky Survey image (rotated 180 degrees) of the same area if you like.
M101 M101, galaxy in Ursa Major. 10 minute exposure taken 2000 June 23 from Savage. Processd by Peter Gruber.
NGC 4631 NGC 4631. 20 stacked 30-second exposures taken 2000 May 25 from my driveway, inside the Beltway.
NGC2903 NGC 2903, a nice barred galaxy. 8 stacked 30-second images taken 2000 March 14 from my driveway, inside the Beltway, with a 1st-quarter moon.
