M57 (NGC 6720, the ring nebula and many others) is a planetary nebula located approximately 2567 light-years away (Gaia DR2) in Lyra. Ha – 26x1800s – 780 minutes – binned 1x1 RGB – 8x300s – 40 minutes

Here is NGC 1788, between the stars Rigel and Mintaka in Orion. It has some strange colors but interesting structures. Captured from DSNM using a CDK14 scope and ASI 6200MM camera - one hour exposure

Sharpless 238 (Ced 32a, vdB 28, Burnham's Nebula and others) is the brightest of the brown nebula near the center of the image. Some references also include the objects further out including NGC 1554,

Hi, This is an image of NGC 1055. It is an edge-on spiral galaxy about 53 million light years away in the constellation Cetus. It is a binary system together with the bright spiral galaxy M77 (NGC 106

It seems everyone is processing data from our period of clear skies and minimal moon at DSNM. Here's another just-completed project from our observatory - the LRO (LoBo Robotic Observatory, LoBo being

Sharpless 207 (LBN 708, Simeis 28 and others) is a small emission nebula located approximately 11,100 light-years away in Camelopadalis. This one surrounds open cluster Mayer 2. Sharpless 208 (open cl

Hi, Okay. This one never gets old. This is three different images of IC 434, also known as the Horsehead Nebula. IT is a nebula complex consisting of emission (the red), reflection (the blue) and dark

Hi all: Sh2-268 is a large, but extremely faint emission nebula in Orion. The emission is so faint it was barely visible on 15 minute exposures through an Ha filter. http://www.greggsastronomy.com/IMA

Hi, This is an image of NGC 1977, also known as the Running Man nebula and SH2-279. It is a reflection nebula about 1,500 light years away in the constellation Orion. It is part of Orion’s Sword and i

Berkeley 65 is a trumpler (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpler_classification) class I 2 p open cluster located approximately 7,400 light-years away in Cassiopeia. Luminance – 24x300s – binned 1x1

Sh2-196 (LBN 664, Simeis 24 and others) is a HII region located approximately 18,000 light-years away in Cassiopeia. Ha – 30x1800s – 900 minutes – binned 1x1 RGB – 8x300s – 40 minutes each – binned 2x

NGC 2247 (Ced 81, DG 109, LBN 901 and others) is the reflection nebula near the top left. NGC 2245 (Ced 80, DG 108, LBN 904 and others) is the reflection nebula near the bottom right. Both of these ar

Sharpless 135 (LBN 492 and 493) is a faint HII region located approximately 6,200 light-years away in Cepheus. The small cluster of bright stars below the bright region is Juchert 21. Ha – 25x1800s –

Just thought this might be of interest, given that tonite the forecast is crud, I have completed our sky data for 2020. Some background: We started mid-January so had 348 nights in the data. We keep t

Sharpless 192 (LBN 661 and others) is at the bottom. Sharpless 193 (LBN 660 and others) is above and to the left of Sh2-192. Sharpless 194 is above and to the right of Sh2-192. All of these are locate

Arp 249 (UGC 12891, PGC 25, vv 186/a/b and others) is the grouping of galaxies just below and to the left of the center of the image. It looks like there could be two or three but they have one or two

This was the second target I imaged at DSNM last November. It's a wonderful target for blending the emission signals with the dust clouds. I've shared a couple of versions of different blending method

Hi, Is it just me or has the seeing been crap lately? I am struggling to get anything below 3 aspp. Bernard http://www.azstarman.net/CDK/index.html This email has been checked for viruses by Avast ant
