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.
