Oskar Contreras<p>Forecast noted cloudy last night. Took a peak outside this morning and was able to sneak in 30 minutes of telescope time. Decided to observe some <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/galaxies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>galaxies</span></a> i have observed before.

HimmelhvælvM104 is my favourite galaxy! <br> So very photogenic with its distinct dust lane around the central bulge of stars, hanging in space like a small pendant - or a Sombrero apparently. In fact it’s composed of several hundred billion individual stars and is estimated at a diameter of 50.000 lightyears so the only reason for it appearing small is its mind-melting distance of 28 million lightyears (meaning that the fastest thing in the universe - light - has travelled for 28 million years before it hit my telescope in my backyard. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/M104?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#M104</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sombrerogalaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sombrerogalaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/deepsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deepsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/backyardastronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backyardastronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astroshots?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astroshots</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophoto?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophoto</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/universe?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#universe</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/galaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#galaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/universetoday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#universetoday</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stars?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stars</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/galaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#galaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nightphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/skywatcher?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skywatcher</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/touptek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#touptek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/backyardastrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backyardastrophotography</a>
