Pinwheel galaxy

One of my favourite sights in the night sky is the Pinwheel Galaxy

I took some photographs of it last week using the Harvard and OU telescopes.

I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
