Spiraling – NGC 3718
A warped galaxy in Ursa Major with a twisted dust lane and faint tidal features. HCG 56 is visible to the left; NGC 3729, likely responsible for the distortion, is just out of frame.

Milky Way Meets Glacier
Ever since I first visited this glacier in the Swiss Alps I wanted to go back there at night to see the Milky Way over the glacier. It was a beautiful sight watching our galaxy slowly set behind the icy mountain peaks.

The main nebulosity in the picture is colloquially known as the Ghost Nebula, but in my opinion the surrounding dust area is a whole ghost town.
