SLOOH's Greatest Hits

The Eagle Nebula - Visible in the center are the "Pillars of Creation" made famous by the Hubble Space Telescope image of this nebula; where the energy from new stars are eroding away the gas and dust that gave birth to them.Taken August 2nd, 2005. Dome one wide field scope of SLOOH observatory on Mt. Teide, Tenerife, Canary Islands.

The Exploding Galaxy M82 - M82 lies near a much larger and brighter galaxy: The Grand Spiral M81. In the recent past (in astronomical terms anyway - a few tens of millions of years ago) M81 and M82 experienced a close encounter which dramatically disrupted M82. It is now in a starburst phase, in which star formation is proceeding at a break-neck pace. Turbulent gas flows within the galaxy's core make M82 the brightest object in the sky in infrared wavelengths.Taken May 8th, 2006. Dome one high mag scope of SLOOH observatory on Mt. Teide, Tenerife, Canary Islands.

The Black Eye Galaxy - A large, dark lane of dust gives this spiral galaxy its black eye. All SLOOH images are oriented to be north-up, otherwise, the black smudge would be seen in proper orientation, under the eye of the nucleus.Taken on May 2nd, 2005. Dome one high mag scope of SLOOH observatory on Mt. Teide, Tenerife, Canary Islands.

GRS Transit/Oval BA - Here is an 8 frame animation of the Great Red Spot transiting the Jovian surface early this morning, 08.19.2010(UT 00:02 - 02:48). If you look closely, especially toward the last several frames, you will see a small pale oval (OVAL BA) to the southwest of the GRS. It is better known as Red Spot Jr., which first appeared about 10 years ago and occasionally rubs storm fronts with the GRS.
