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.
