Pictures of the Universe

Behold! An image of the Universe, to go with my equations. The above image I took using this telescope. The colors are visible red and infrared. The thing you are looking at is New Galactic Catalog Object number 7596 or NGC 7596 for short. Beautiful isn't it.

Oh and for those who are interested, it was about a 5 minute exposure time.
