NGC 5907, a pretty bright edge-on galaxy in the constellation Draco. The galaxy NGC 3433 in Leo is the brightest face-on galaxy. There are at least 5 other galaxies in this photo, which are fainter and further away then 3433. At least a half dozen galaxy appear in this "galaxy cluster" in the constellation Hercules
The galaxy M100 in the constellation Coma Berenices. This is one of many galaxies in this region of the sky. M104 - The Sombrero Galaxy in the constellation Virgo. The central dust lane is visible in large telescopes. M51 - The Whirlpool Galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. The spiral form can be seen with an 8 inch telescope and appears superb in a 16 inch..
M57 - Ring Nebula in Lyra. An older star that has blown off its' outer shell. M27 - The Dumbbell Nebula. Similar to M57, but much larger and more impressive even in small telescopes. A close-up of the Horsehead Nebula in the constellation Orion.
