The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) an interacting grand spiral design galaxy in Canes Venatici. This beautiful image was 30+ years in the making. Barry has been trying to capture this image since the early 90’s when he was using his Minolta Maxuum film camera. He’d take a roll of images using different exposure times Want to change the speed - get a different roll of film. Then he'd take them for development and 3 days later find out what had gone wrong. This particular object was faint and elusive. This was well before this time of image stacking.

We went quasar hunting last night. Quasars (a contraction of quasi-stellar radio sources) are extremely bright active galactic nuclei (AGN). The emissions from AGN are powered by supermassive black holes at their center.
This is NGC 1073, a barred spiral galaxy in Cetus. There are three quasars visible and identified in the photo we took last night. Our black and white image (left) is inverted meaning it is like a negative. We did this to compare it to the second image (right) which is a photo of photographic plate found in “Quasars, Redshifts and Controversies” by Halton Arp (Figure 1-2 page 10, 1978).
