AT2021dhg in M64 “Black Eye Galaxy”.

AT2021dhg in M64 “Black Eye Galaxy”. Thank you for the information, Mr. Toshihide Noguchi. The discovered supernova on 2/15 was also shown in my image 2/21. The brightness at the time of discovery was about 20 mag, but it seems that it became brighter on the 21st.

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.
