This is a reshoot with twice the exposure time under a bit better seeing. It didn't pick up much more of the plumes than the first but detail in the galaxy...

NGC 5068 is a face on, nearby spiral galaxy in southern Virgo. Redshift measurements are rather inaccurate for nearby galaxies. Using other methods NED comes...

I seem attracted to the unusual and there's not much out there more unusual than this voorwerp. It is small and I needed a night of good seeing. Never got...

I've been out of action for several months due to a move. but two weeks ago I received a new camera so I have been trying to get my gear back in shape and...

Arp 238/UGC 8335 is a pair of galaxies in northeastern Ursa Major about 425 million light-years distant. Arp put it in his category of galaxies with the...

Finally, a current picture taken just a few hours ago. I planned more time but the 4th frame came up blank, not one hint of anything but a good 30 minute...

I didn't see my first post so here it is again. Here is my first light deep sky image with my new (for me) Canon XTi. I hope to get it modified fairly soon. ...

Same data just pushed the curves farther into the noise which allowed me to hike the contrast -- maybe too much. Anyway, there are things I like about this...

UGC 08496 is an interacting double galaxy in Canes Venatici 4 degrees northeast of M3 about 230 million light-years distant. The southern galaxy is compact...

My first attempt at Arp 200 (April 2009) was not all that great so it went back on the reshoot list. I think this is a great improvement. Arp 200/NGC 1134...

This galaxy group is located in northern Pegasus at the border with Lacerta and about 1 degree north of the far more famous Deer Lick Galaxy, NGC 7331. The 6...

After NGC 4319 I looked for another target for the second half of the night of May 3 and had the bad idea to reshoot NGC 5921. As NGC 5921 is rather low (+5...

Arp 294 is an interacting pair of galaxies about 135 million light-years distant in southern Ursa Major. It appears the upper one is about to ram into the...

Hi to all, here is one of the last deep sky images done in the last days of the 2006. Information are on the image. Umidity stressed a lot, reducing...

The picture shows my long-time friends and fellow observers Tony P and his CG-11, and Gary D and his Astro-Physics 6-inch refractor on an Astro-Physics 1200...
