One of the reasons I started this website was because I wanted a place to remember the objects I’ve already photographed, what I hadn’t, and what I wanted to re-visit. It worked! I got two re-visits last night: M64 – the Black Eye Galaxy, and NGC5907. I’ll be adding both of them to the Galaxies page.
Any others you’d like a re-visit, or any suggestions on what I should try to capture? Leave a comment!

A VERY edge-on spiral, and it seems the dust is spattered around the disk, making it somewhat mottled and dim. Nice picture though!
M64 – Black Eye Galaxy

This was my 2nd attempt of the night; the first one lost tracking at under 2 minutes (I’m not going to bother uploading it), and this one failed at 17 minutes, so I called it a night & packed up. Not as long as I really want, but a longer dwell time still produced a very nice image.
