M13, a Fossil of the Milky Way Captured from Lyra Observatory
M13, the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules, is one of the great jewels of the deep sky. Located approximately 25,000 light-years away and containing more than 100,000 stars, it is also a true fossil of the Milky Way. In this article, I explore the story of M13 and how I captured it from Lyra Observatory after several nights of imaging and a total integration time of 6 hours and 38 minutes.

NGC 2903: new data from a spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo
NGC 2903 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Leo, about 30 million light-years from Earth. Its structure is similar to that of the Milky Way, featuring a bright nucleus, a well-defined central bar, and spiral arms rich in gas and dust where new stars are being formed.
Discovered by William Herschel in 1784, this galaxy is one of the brightest deep-sky objects not included in the Messier catalog. Its star-forming regions, visible as reddish areas of ionized
