M109 Galaxy - telescope processed image. M109 is a classic barred spiral galaxy located in Ursa Major. Its prominent central bar and tight spiral arms make it a textbook example of a "theta" shaped galaxy.

M109 Galaxy - unprocessed image. It is a distant neighbor, sitting about 55 million light-years away. Despite its beauty, it’s one of the most distant objects in the original Messier catalog.

A high-resolution telescopic image of Messier 109, a barred spiral galaxy seen face-on with a distinct central bar and tightly wound spiral arms. The galaxy glows with a soft bluish hue and appears near the lower center of the frame. Bright foreground stars with diffraction spikes dot the scene. In the upper right, the glare from the nearby bright star Phecda is visible. Three smaller, faint bluish galaxies — UGC 6969, UGC 6940, and UGC 6923 — appear scattered around the frame and may be satellite galaxies of M109.

Here’s my most recent capture of galaxy M109 which is sometimes known as the “Vacuum Cleaner Galaxy.” I’ve been gathering data on it for 3 months which felt like an eternity! 😄 This includes 28 total hours of LRGB data.

10 hrs worth of RGB images … 5 min exposures imaged just 15 miles north of Manhattan…. M109, the “Vacuum Cleaner Galaxy” (?) lol. #M109 #astrophotography #astronomer #nightsky #NYC #galaxy @apod.shinyakato.dev
