Astrophotography by Panagiotis Andreou

12 million light years away from us, the magnificent M81 and M82 galaxies fighting each other gravitationally

Floating in space, 2 cosmic tadpoles near to the Flaming Star nebula around 1500 light years away

LMC from New Zealand, a phenomenal sight under dark skies, 2024

Our closest neighbour, the magnificent Andromeda Galaxy as photographed from my garden using LRGB filters for 7.5 hours.

The Butterfly and Ptolemy Clusters near the tail of Scorpius. The vibrant colours of our Milky Way as photographed from Greece.

Distant nebulae and cosmic births in Andromeda

This is Orion Nebula with less an hour of data I captured in two early March nights.

The North American & Pelican nebulae separated by a dark cloud, 1,500 light years away.

All Andromeda's distant 2,5 million years away photons were collected under the truly dark skies of Exmoor using a reduced fast astrograph FSQ-85ED and a Nikon D810A for 6 hours.

IC 1396 image for the year 2020, from a trip to Exmoor using a Nikon D810a on a FSQ-85ED.

Interstellar dust clouds and the cosmic cocoon, located 3,300 light years away where a newly developed cluster of stars live inside it.

Young and bright stars that currently pass through interstellar cosmic dust. It will take them several tens of thousands of years to move past this dust.

A large expanding cloud of hot dust and gas born of the death explosion of a massive star in the constellation of Cygnus.

5,000 light years away from Earth, an open cluster of young and bright suns excite nearby atoms to produce this flowery nebula, the Rosette Nebula.

Interstellar dust and gas in the deep sky complex IC 1396 with the magnificent Elephant's Trunk nebula in Hydrogen-alpha and Oxygen III.
