Astro- Unwired

Apart from radio controlled gadgets and aerodynamics, the members of Club Unwired possess a passion for viewing the heavens above. Equipped with a D-75 reflector telescope we are able to obtain breathtaking views of the moon and a good close up of the starry sky. 2009 is the International Year of Astronomy and we definitely don't want to miss out. As a start here are some inspiring images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Enjoy!

The Large Cloud of Magellan

A nebula popularily known as Shapeless 171

No, this is not a sea shell. Its Hyperion, one of Saturns many moons.

A famous nebula,commonly known as the Horsehead Nebula

A pair of Galaxies known as the Dumbells.

The Pleiedes Star Cluster also known as the Seven Sisters.

A spiral galaxy NGC7331

Another Galaxy - NGC55

M83- Also known as the Thousand Ruby Galaxy

More images by Hubble and some of our own coming soon!!
