Nov 22, 2020 · This is spiral galaxy UGC 2838, imaged a lot more often than people realize! There are other galaxies near the Pleiades, but I think this is the most prominent. This is a very aggressive crop of my M45 image taken with the FSQ.

Nov 19, 2017 · Glimmering through a dusty nebula that surrounds the Pleiades star cluster is the faint spiral galaxy UGC 2838, visible in the bottom-right corner of this photo by astrophotographer Miguel...

Feb 4, 2025 · (7) In the case of UGC 2838, you should see a few distance measurements from different sources: For example, "92.90 Mpc" -- about 93 megaparsecs. Multiply that by 3.26 to convert to millions of light-years.

Dec 1, 2024 · UGC 2838, also cataloged as PGC 13696, is classified as an Sc-type spiral, tilted nearly edge-on from our perspective. It spans approximately 40,000 light-years in diameter and is situated at a distance of roughly 303 million light years from Earth.

An annotated version of the same image by Miguel Claro shows the location of the spiral galaxy UGC 2838 and labels nine of the brightest stars in the Pleiades cluster.

Dec 11, 2024 · Sky-Watcher Esprit 120ED Telescope, ZWO ASI2600MC camera running at -10F, 216 x 60 second exposures for each panel, Sky-Watcher EQ6R-Pro pier mounted, ZWO EAF and ASIAir Pro, processed in PixInisght. Image Date: December 13, 2023. Location: The Dark Side Observatory (W59), Weatherly, PA, USA (Bortle Class 4).

Nov 23, 2020 · Ironically, this may be one of the most often imaged galaxies though people may not realize it. This spiral galaxy lies near the star Electra (17 Tau) in M45--one of the 7 Sisters, which is the large star near the left hand edge of the frame. This is a very aggressive crop of my Pleiades image that I think makes a satisfactory stand alone image.

Oct 18, 2023 · When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status. Early dismissal. Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection.
