Extragalactic Supernova Project
Astrophotography

Updated: 21 May 2023

After reading the book "Supernova Search Atlas and Guide" I decided to start my "Extragalactic Supernova Project". The 90 images in this photo album are the "reference" images for galaxies of Mag. +11.5 and brighter, and were taken with a Nikon D850 DSLR at prime focus of the Meade 12" LX600 telescope. Images (in NGC order) are North up East left. Click a thumbnail to see a larger version. Should I get lucky and image a supernova in a galaxy for which I have done a reference image it will also be posted here, as well as on my Supernova Album page.

NGC: 0000s | 1000s | 2000s | 3000s | 4000s | 5000s | 6000s | 7000s | Jump to End
