Taken from the west edge of Calgary, only 7 x 5 min but for my first effort at this I'm fairly happy. I've posted Iridium and auroras here before but this...

Hello group, here is the Eagle Nebula in H-alpha and luminance. BRC250 F=1268mm + ST-10XME Exposed: Luminance= 10x300 seconds H-alpha 6,3nm=...

Arp 270 is another two galaxy smash-up I imaged last January. It consists of NGC 3395 (bottom) and NGC 3396. The pair is a bit under 90 million light-years...

Hi Folks; I had good seeing on the Nights of August 25th and 26 at a very dark site (Mag 6+ skies) in Southern Saskatchewan. Apart from very high humidity (80...

Seeing improved dramatically from earlier in the week but wasn't as good as I've seen from this location. Managed to get some albedo markings on Ganymede,...

Thanks for the comments on my "first light" picture. Some wanted to see images of the scope itself, here they come. The picture "GSORCfront.jpg" shows the...

From my back yard 28 miles south of Washington, DC. TOA150 at F/7.3. With Gibbous Moon, just testing to see if dew is still a proplem, probably not a fair...

Hello group, here is the Triangulum Galaxy M33 in hydrogen-alpha, a quite unusual target. Instrument: BRC250 F=1268mm + SBIG-ST10XME + filter 6,3nm Exposed:...

A few Arp galaxies are very photogenic, M51 for instance, most are at best interesting. Then there are those so far away or so small they are the...

Arp 271, in Virgo is a rather classic Arp pair, much photographed compared to most Arp galaxies. Thus my desire for a better night than I had. It is two...

Recently I couldn't resist to buy a GSO 6" Ritchey Chretien at a special price. I have some tilt in the system with stars being progressively off focus on...
