Rick,

so I'll visit the cloudy nights CCD forum more often now.
I guess newsgroups are a bit of a prehistoric thing by now...

Astro: Ic 405/410

Until recently I could not even fit IC 405 on my CCD (or CMOS) chip, but with the TS 60mm ED plus 0.79 reducer I can even get IC 410 (and parts of IC 417) in one image.

As usual recently this was...

Rick,

this galaxy has nice wide spiral arms. You clearly caught the blue outer arms in spite of the fires.

A nice pair at the bottom.
NGC 7331 would probably draw more viewers than NGC 7731 ;-)

the blue arms of IC 226 almost look like Hubble pictures of gravitational lensing :-)

Rick,

the (ex-) cluster looks a bit like a distorted mini version of the big dipper.

Rick,

the FSQ is a bit on the steep side especially when considering the dollar per inch of aperture ratio. That said there aren't too many scopes that can handle a CCD chip as large as yours. And...

ASTRO: Rosette nebula

I bought a small 60mm f/5.5 ED refractor a while ago, coupled with a 0.79 reducer it has a focal length of 260mm. This allows me to image those popular large nebulae that always have been too big for...

Rick,

the change in the last image is astounding. It did not change a lot in previous years. I have never managed to image this nebula even though it has been on my list for years.

ASTRO: Double Minkowski

I wanted to image Planetary Nebula M 2-52 with my 10" Meade ACF, but noticed that I would get M 2-51 with half the focal length. It is only 13 arcseconds large but interestingly shaped.
I have...

Rick,

colour does not look as good as usual in your images, but you still captured a lot of those faint fuzzies (and some of them even with nice detail):

the smoke didn't keep you from getting star colours that look realistic to me.

Rick,

those two look a bit like the antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/4039), of course a much smaller and fainter version.
The plumes are clearly visible on my screen.

Rick,

NGC 7535 and 7536 are nice spirals. And a lot of background galaxies too (although the main galaxies would fall into this category themselves in Virgo or Leo ;-).

Wonder what it is.

ASTRO: Three small PN: NGC 6884, IC 5217 und "Footprint" Nebula

Rick,

that's a surprisingly nice cluster considering that it escaped the NGC and IC observers. And the reflection nebula is also clearly visible.

Rick,

the cluster seems to be less affected by the dust than the milky way stars. I would guess that it would be lost in the milky way without the dust.

In the second half of August I spent five nights on the planetary nebula Abell 80 (PK102-05.1), which is a bit larger than two arcminutes.
The conditions were changeable, two nights were very good by...
