I bought an adapter that lets me mount my Olympus lenses onto my Canon XTi and so it was nice and clear this morning so I tested it out. This was 20 seconds @...

I used my Olympus 300mm lens with my Canon XTi for this early morning shot. It was 20s @ f/8 at 100asa. Joe

Skywatcher recently introduced dedicated reducer/flattener lenses for their ED refractors. To test the reducer I imaged two open clusters, h+chi (NGC...

Hello everyone. Attached is my latest H-alpha solar image and a Calcium K-line image also. Clear Skyz, LA :)

http://www.sbig.com/sbwhtmls/announcement_baader_narrowband_f2.htm looks like a great move from them.

NGC 140 is a rather strange spiral galaxy in western Andromeda about 280 million light-years distant judging by its redshift. NED and the NGC project...

NGC 151 is an SB(r)bc spiral in western Cetus about 160 million light-years from us. It seems to have possibly fit into Arp's class for galaxies with a...

NGC 663 is an open cluster in Cassiopeia. It made my list by being a Herschel 400 object from his first list. My log entry, right after I'd noted a nearby...

NGC 959 is a spiral galaxy in Triangulum. It's distance is an unknown, at least to any degree of accuracy. Redshift puts it at only 17 million light-years....

NGC 1003 is a somewhat unsymmetrical near edge on blue spiral galaxy on the western border of Perseus. In fact the western ansa of the galaxy is in Andromeda...

NGC 1027/IC 1824 is a rather sparse open cluster in Cassiopeia just west of the "Heart" Nebula. In fact the western edge of it is seen in the upper right...

I posted this one back in my mono days. I thought it looked pretty good. I decided to redo it in color. See I was very wrong about the mono image looking...

When I was taking M77 a while back I took a few side trips to interesting looking galaxies in the area. NGC 1073 is one of them. 14" LX200R@f/10, 12x5'...

NGC 1073 is a nearby barred spiral in Cetus about 1.4 degrees north of M77. It is about 45 to 50 million light-years distant as best as I could determine. ...

I must have come home late on September 27 last year as I only started the imaging session at half past three in the morning. I did not take RGB images,...

NGC 1156 is a nearby Magellanic dwarf galaxy in Aries. While it is nearby I can't put a very definite number on it's distance. Redshift would indicate...

NGC 1160 and NGC 1161 are two galaxies in Perseus. They don't appear to be interacting and have rather different distance estimates. NGC 1160 is classed as...

Many wide field photos of Comet Holmes showed a tiny fuzz patch that I tracked down as NGC 1169. I decided to try an image it. The galaxy itself turned out...

NGC 1174 made my to-do list for being a good example of the newly discovered class of galaxies called Red Spiral Galaxies. Also it has some very interesting...
