Caldwell 43 (also known as NGC 7814 or UGC 8) is a spiral galaxy about 40 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. The galaxy is seen edge-on from Earth. It is sometimes referred to as "the little sombrero", a miniature version of Messier 104. The star field behind NGC 7814 is known for its density of faint, remote galaxies. It's among the few bright galaxies that exhibit modest distortion and twisting of the galaxy's plane in optical wavelengths.

Arp77 consists of the larger barred spiral galaxy NGC 1097 and its smaller companion, the elliptical galaxy NGC 1097A. Located approximately 45 million light-years away in the constellation Fornax, these galaxies are engaged in a gravitational interaction that has visibly distorted their structures. NGC 1097, classified as a Seyfert galaxy, hosts an active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole, while the interaction with NGC 1097A has sparked intense starburst activity and created a striking ring of star formation around its core.

Caldwell 30, also known as NGC 7331, is an unbarred spiral galaxy about 43.79 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. It was discovered by William Herschel on 6 September 1784. The galaxy appears similar almost in size and structure to the Milky Way, and is sometimes referred to as "the Milky Way's twin".

Messier 104, also known as the Sombrero Galaxy, is a peculiar galaxy of unclear classification in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered on May 11, 1781 by Pierre Méchain. Charles Messier made a handwritten note about this and five other objects (now collectively recognized as M104 – M109) to his personal list of objects now known as the Messier Catalogue, but it was not "officially" included until 1921.

Messier 60, is an elliptical galaxy approximately 57 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo. Together with NGC 4647, it forms a pair known as Arp 116. NGC 4647 is an intermediate spiral galaxy. The galaxies are located on the outskirts of the Virgo Cluster. On 16 April, the Japanese amateur astrophotographer Kōichi Itagaki discovered a very bright Supernova, also known as SN 2022hrs.

Caldwell 21 is an irregular galaxy located approximately 12.5 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is part of the M94 Group, a collection of galaxies in the vicinity of the Milky Way. Caldwell 21 is notable for its active star formation, which is evident from the numerous young, blue star clusters and pinkish star-forming regions scattered throughout the galaxy.

Messier 51, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy, is one of the most striking and well-known galaxies in the night sky. What makes it special is the interaction with nearby galaxy NGC 5195, distorting its otherwise symmetric spiral pattern. This gravitational pull has triggered waves of star formation in the Whirlpool's arms, lighting them up with clusters of hot, young, blue stars. Here in a long >60h exposure.

Messier 85 is a lenticular galaxy (S0) located in the Virgo Cluster, approximately 50 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. Discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781 and later cataloged by Charles Messier, M85 is one of the brightest members of the Virgo Cluster.

Messier 58 is one of the brightest galaxies in the constellation Virgo. Located roughly 62 million light-years from Earth, M58 is the most distant Messier object. The core contains high rates of star formation, known as starburst activity. It also houses a supermassive black hole around 70 million times the mass of our Sun.

Arp 25 and Arp 114 are a spiral and an elliptical galaxy respectively in the constellation Cepheus, at a distance of about 120 million lightyears away from Earth. Their gravitational interaction causes distortions in their morphology.

Messier 89 is an elliptical galaxy located in the Virgo Cluster, within the constellation Virgo. M89 is approximately 50 to 55 million light-years away from Earth and has an apparent magnitude of about 9.8 to 10.73. The galaxy contains around 100 billion stars and over 2,000 globular clusters.

Messier 87 is a supergiant elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Virgo. It is notable for its prominent jet of energetic plasma that originates from its core and extends at least 5,000 light-years. M87 is approximately 53.5 million light-years away from Earth.

Messier 66 is a prominent spiral galaxy located in the constellation Leo, approximately 36 million light-years from Earth. It is the brightest member of the Leo Triplet, a small group of interacting galaxies that also includes Messier 65 and NGC 3628.

Arp 271 is a pair of interacting spiral galaxies, located approximately 130 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. These galaxies are gradually being pulled together by gravity, their spiral arms stretching and distorting as they pass near each other.

The Virgo cluster is a large area in the sky, packed with galaxies. The famous Markarian Chain may be the best known part of it, but there are many more pretty well visible galaxies around in the area. Explore this very wide-field recording of this exciting part of the night-sky.

Messier 109 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major, approximately 83.5 million light-years from Earth. It is one of the brightest galaxies in the Ursa Major Cluster. M109 is notable for its prominent central bar structure. The galaxy has a magnitude of about 9.8. It spans roughly 180,000 light-years in diameter, making it slightly larger than the Milky Way.

Arp 41 is a grand design spiral galaxy located in the constellation Eridanus, approximately 60 to 65 million light-years away from Earth. It is part of Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, a catalog of unusual and distinctive galaxies. It includes a smaller, irregular companion galaxy, NGC 1232A, which appears to be interacting gravitationally with the main galaxy.

Caldwell 48, also known as NGC2775, is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cancer. It is a so-called flocculent spiral galaxy, meaning the arms are patchy and discontinuous, giving them a fluffy or woolly appearance.

Caldwell 23, also known as NGC 891, is a spiral galaxy located approximately 30 light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. Its striking edge-on appearance has given it the nickname Silver Sliver galaxy. The galaxy is very similar in structure to our own Milky Way.
