Twin Quasar 

Twin Quasar   2021-03-08 A quasar that exists in the universe about 9.1 billion years ago, located about 13.85 billion light-years away from the earth in the direction of Ursa Major. It is an example of the gravitational lens effect discovered for the first time. I took a image of the celestial body introduced by Mr. Konnai from Fukushima Prefecture, but at a brightness of 16.7 mag, even a 45 cm telescope would not be visible!

M63(NGC 5055)

M63 (NGC 5055) 2021-03-08 Canes Venatici, distance / approx. 24 million light-years Large spiral galaxy with beautiful spirals.  8.6 mag, visual diameter 12.3′ The fine and complicated spiral structure and the large dark feature on the outside are wonderful. If you look closely, you can see that the pale nebula on the right side, which is a little far away, and the large dark spiral are connected. In addition, there are two spindle-shaped galaxies at the right end of the nebula (see the monochrome inverted image on the upper left) 45 cm newtonian.

M64( NGC 4826)

M64 (NGC 4826) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices. M64 (NGC4826) Galaxy (Black Eye Galaxy) Coma Berenices, luminous intensity 8.5, apparent diameter 9.3′, distance 19 million light-years The rotation of the central vortex and the rotation of the outer vortex are opposite. It is believed to be a remnant of the collision and coalescence of two galaxies in the past.   2021-02-21 45cm newtonian
