This year I was looking forward to galaxy season as I just got a Celestron Edge HD 8. Unfortunately, it’s been rainy, cloudy, and the Edge HD8 has taken a long time to get acquainted with. But, I made this list of Spring Astrophotography targets that may be useful to you.
M5
Over 13 billion years old and 25,000 light years away, M5 is one of the oldest astronomy objects in our universe.
The Hercules Cluster
The Hercules Cluster was the first astrophotography target I fell in love with. I finally got the right equipment to shoot it properly a year later.
M81 & M82 Galaxy Pair
My first galaxy pair taken with my new Astro-Tech AT115EDT telescope. There were some challenges, but overall, I think it came out awesome.
NGC 2903 Galaxy
NGC 2903 is one of the first galaxies to kick off galaxy season in the northeast. I shot this on my AT115EDT refractor and ASI533MM camera.
