There are many interesting galaxies and nebula for the amateur astronomer to observe. This website shows some general objects, as well as some more challenging peculiar galaxies, multiple systems and galaxy clusters. Every now and then, new CCD-photos and observing notes are added, to show what can be interesting and fun to observe. Above, there are some highlites gathered from the cosmical zoo. Older photos have mostly been taken with an ST6 CCD camera. More recent ones have been taken with an STL11000M camera.

Browse and pick your favorites to observe at your next observing session.
