So Yann and I have both decided to take a couple of days off from working on the game and I'm looking forward to my favorite hobby. I thought I'd share that with you and perhaps there is another enthusiast amongst you. Whenever I find the time, I try to take images of beautiful objects in space. Below are three of my favorite. The Lagoon Nebula. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3372686/thumbnailer/Li3673oGQhHq4IkkMU3w.jpg) The Horsehead Nebula. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3372686/thumbnailer/M5xkTEzQg8ejJoX9wPAO.jpeg) The Orion Nebula. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3372686/thumbnailer/ouv4LQsq6pujSxWF4Nlj.jpg)

And here are a few galaxies, namely: the Andromeda galaxy. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3372686/thumbnailer/5_JSfWMTcodTHcepevIo.jpeg) the Whirlpool galaxy. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3372686/thumbnailer/QswBtQInZl8O5Rote7SR.jpeg) and the Sombrero galaxy. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3372686/thumbnailer/oGTMujr0HluaxIbnl2V_.jpeg)

What I also like are planetary nebulae, but they usually appear very small in the sky, so it's hard to take a good image. This is the Dumbbell nebula. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3372686/thumbnailer/KdpB3oiGYcv4naL6kylt.jpg) the Helix nebula. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3372686/thumbnailer/zA4uWJLACWELUGD7po1R.jpg) This one here is the Pleiades star cluster. ![](//storage.proboards.com/3372686/thumbnailer/oOQrzUOM4NvTw3GgLQ6C.jpeg)

My grandfather is in love looking with things in space! so much that he built his own observatory alone! the pictures look beautiful! I like to look at different galaxies from time to time either online or using my grandpappy's big a** scope.
