I couldn't really fit both M65 and M66 on the chip very well without rotating the camera from north up. So I had to photograph them individually. Here's...

just as I was saving those jpgs I had downloaded to a new folder XP crashed on me and wiped out those files too. And I wanted to show what was that night...

this is the final of the three images from my fremont peak outing last night. this is 4 x 20 minutes with Baader Halpha filter, FLI IMG6303E camera and...

With the first clear night in ages I had to take something even if it was only a couple days from full moon. So I put in the H-alpha filter and went after...

Hi everyone, I am arriving in New York September 28th where I plan to spend 6 days. Does anyone know any nice astronomical/space places of interest in New...

Stellafane often features people who reproduce historical instruments. For example, in the past there have been copies of William Hershel's smaller scopes,...

My first image of Holmes was made in hurry, after whole night of imaging. Later I found some more time to make it better. The same seven subs as described in...

NGC 1999 is the reflection nebula at lower center. V380 Orionis is the illuminating star for the nebula. G2v calibrated, interesting color pallet. Penryn,...

Ok, slightly off topic but if you have ever worked in an observatory it hits the mark. Last night was the first clear night (for a couple hours) in months...

I didn't aquire any new images for a month except for some snapshots of Comet Holmes, so here is one from October: NGC 317 and 317A are an interacting galaxy...

Back when my flats were so bad I took a series of the Tulip Nebula SH2-101 in Cygnus. After months of trying I finally managed to squeeze out an image. I...

As should be obvious by now I like these guys. Though I'm running out of big and bright ones visible from 47N. This one is in the local group. I could...

Here are two Google Earth views of the place I hang around at a lot! :) One is looking directly down on the building - the three round things are the domes...

Hi Group, I have posted this query on sci-astro ccd-imaging newsgroup already, but I will ask here also. I have taken a number of shots using my Canon 350D...

Friends are telling me my posts of late aren't propagating to them. Not one got my post of the Hercules Galaxy Cluster and only a couple got the triple...

Finally I got my Meade 10" ARC (or, as it is now called ACF) scope back from repairs, or to be more precise, Meade exchanged it for a new one. Fortunately...

This is the last call for Orion for me for this season. It is at transit as the sun sets and it wanes into the urban muck. I made a fortuitous error when...
