Hi all, Here is the Leo Triplett with the ST-10XME in Nikkor 300mm f/2,8 @ f/5,6 , 40 X 300 seconds (tot.: 3,3h) at my website. In the image there are 5 minor...

On January 21 I chose M81 as a target as transparency wasn't good, so it would have made little sense to go for exotic stuff. There were gusty winds that...

Arp 289/NGC 3981 is a spiral galaxy in far eastern Crater just barely in Crater rather than Corvus. At almost 20 degrees south it is the most southern Arp...

We had a lot of cloudless nights recently, but all of these nights had dusty skies, some of them were also quite windy. That means that I have a lot of...

Arp 245/NGC 2992-3 is a great pair of interacting galaxies in Hydra. Red shift puts them at about 125 million light-years but most papers are going with the...

Hi all, I wish to introduce to your attention this picture , that you can see at the following...

I thought I'd posted this one long ago. It was taken September 19, 2009 UT. I processed it in April but apparently then forgot about it. I can't find I...

This field is almost imaged to death but it fits the field of my Maksutov-Newton 190/1000 plus Atik 383L+ camera, so I couldn't resist. I had rather ugly...

NGC 4361 in a rather famous planetary in the quadrilateral of Corvus. The central star sits in a dark hole in the planetary. That isn't a processing...

Arp 53/NGC 3290 is located in Hydra about 490 million light-years distant according to its red shift. Arp put it in his category for spirals with high...

Arp 27/NGC 3631 is a grand design spiral in Ursa Major. Red shift shows it to be about 62 million light-years distant. A Tully-Fisher measurement says 70...

Hi all, a photomosaic consisting in 17 shots that show the central part of the constellation of Orion. The mosaic measures approximately: 9°x8° (6464x5860...

See I forgot the ASTRO: subject on my M81 re-redo. No granddaughter here so haven't been turning on my filter as it hasn't been needed. Shouldn't open my...

When you work and work on the same image you get blind to issues. I decided Stefan was right and I over saturated it. I've cut it back some. Rick --...

Another 2 fer deal. I keep finding it interesting that he often finds two entries in one field and other times ignores equally peculiar galaxies in other...

When I saved the image in JPG format for internet I'd selected an adjustment layer and hadn't flattened the image. What got posted was only one layer of...

Last October I used two nights to image the rather faint PN Sh2-176. First night was with the GSO 6" RC (AP CCDT67 reducer)/SXV-H9 camera, second night with...

NGC 2261/Hubble's Variable Nebula turns out to be more interesting than I suspected. I've taken it several times over the last few years but every time...

About once a year I reprocess my old M81 image. I should retake the data as it used 5 minute subs which contain twice the read noise of the 10 minute ones. ...

Arp 21 is located in eastern Leo Minor a bit over 400 million light-years distant. It falls into Arp's class: Spiral Galaxies; 3 armed. That much seems...
