This is the mis-matched pair of globular clusters in Coma Berenices: M53 at top, a modestly bright and rich cluster, and NGC 5053 at bottom, a dim and sparse globular. This is a stack of just 5 x 8-minute exposures with the Canon EOS Ra at ISO 800 through the SharpStar 140mm refractor at f/6.5 with no field flattener.
Messier 61, a face-on spiral galaxy in Virgo. Galaxy at upper left is NGC 4301, at upper right of M61 is NGC 4292. The short streak left of M61 is the asteroid 40 Harmonia. This is a stack of 4 x 10 minute exposures at ISO 800 with the Canon 60Da and Astro-Physics 130mm f/6 apo refractor.
A telephoto lens image of the spiral galaxies M65 and M66 and NGC 3628 (aka the Leo Trio), below the back end of Leo the Lion, shot to simulate the field of view of binoculars for illustration purposes. This is a stack of 5 x 1-minute exposures with the 200mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 800, tracked but unguided on the Mach 1 mount, on April 24, 2019.
