M13, M31 and M51
Here's some more deep space objects which I acquired with my phone and a dobsonian telescope! 🔭
The first image is of Messier 13, The Hercules Globular Star Cluster, named so due to its position in the constellation of Hercules, containing more than half a million stars.
The second image is of Messier 31, Andromeda Galaxy. Located about two and half million light years away and on a direct collision course with us! It appears very large in the sky, much bigger than the full moon but still too faint to be easily seen with the naked eye.
The third image is of Messier 51, The Whirlpool Galaxy, another large but much more distant galaxy over 30 million lightyears away. It can be seen feeding off another smaller galaxy that has strayed too closely.

Absolutely beautiful pictures! I love looking at space. Sometimes it feels so absolutely surreal to me. I especially love Messier 51. Stunning!
@TovaCares76
Thanks :) I agree!
@SentryTheDefiant
This is really interesting.. the image attached in the post is of which star/cluster?
There seems to be only one image in the attachment. Could you please attach the other two as well and tag each one with their names?

I think you have to click on the post to open it fully and show the images :)
Simply mesmerizing 😍
@Den7z
Thank you 😄
@SentryTheDefiant Those are gorgeous, can I ask about my very cheap telescope? It has a maximum of 1200x zooming, so I was just looking at the moon and I wonder if I can see other things?
@HopefulandBright
It's hard to say, do you know what brand of telescope it is? Or the aperture and focal length? Sometimes that's written on the telescope near the eyepiece, it might say something like D=200 F=1200.
Very cool!
