John Moody http://panthercreekastro.mysite.com 8/18/2010 9:20:26 PM This is a 3 frame mosaic of the Veil Nebula complex. The nebulosity at the top left of the frame with the bright star is NGC6960 and at the bottom is NGC6992/IC1340. Each of the frames consist of 25 to 33 raw subframes calibrated with 20 darks and 40 flats. I really needed more subs but both nights I was taking these images clouds moved in and cut things short. The bottom frame was shot on 8/7/10 and the top two on 8/14/10 using a Canon 40D and Celestron NS11 with a Hyperstar 3 lens. | John Moody http://panthercreekastro.mysite.com 8/13/2010 9:59:57 PM NGC992/IC1340 Part of the Veil Neubla complex. This is 25 subs of 90 seconds each + 20 darks & 40 flats taken from Fordland MO on 8/6/10 with a Canon 40D through a Celestron Nexstar 11 and Hyperstar. I had planned to take many more subs but clouds rolled in and cut things short. | Jim Aldrich 7/16/2010 10:50:50 AM The Eagle in Ha. Poor seeing conditions prevented me from getting a good Ha image. I hope to add the SII & OIII narrowband data later. |
Patrick Holland 7/8/2010 11:20:52 PM M51, taken 6-15-10 with the 14" Meade LX200GPS with hyperstar and the Orion Starshoot Pro V2. I did not crop the image to get rid of the field rotation because what I am lacking in exposure time and equatorial alignment, I make up for in hard to find faint galaxies in this image. 24-35 Second light subs, 20-35 second dark subs, 10 flat frames. | Patrick Holland 7/8/2010 6:14:26 PM M16 once agin. This time with the Orion Starshoot Pro V2 camera. This image was acquired on 7-1-10 with the 10" Meade LX200ACF scope, and the Meade .63 Focal reducer spaced 140mm from the imaging chip (F4.6, focal length 1154mm). 44-40 second exposures, 50 Dark Frames and 10 flat frames. Imaged captured and pre-processed in MaxIm DL Essentials, post processing in Photoshop CS4. | Jim Aldrich 7/8/2010 1:53:16 PM Here is a smaller size image that should work better. Tnis narrow band image of M27 shows mostly ionized Oxygen (Blue) & Hydrogen (Green) gases. Meade 14" ACF, SBIG 11000M camera & Baader NB filters. |
Jim Aldrich 7/8/2010 1:46:25 PM Tnis narrow band image of M27 shows mostly ionized Oxygen (Blue) & Hydrogen (Green) gases. Meade 14" ACF, SBIG 11000M camera & Baader NB filters. | Patrick Holland 7/8/2010 1:47:20 AM M63, the Sunflower Galaxy. This is a widefield view I imaged with the 14" Meade LX200GPS with hyperstar and the Orion Starshoot Pro V2 camera. Imaged on 6-15-10. 31-40 second subs, 25-40 second darks and 10 flats. Cropped to eliminate field rotation effect. | Patrick Holland 7/7/2010 11:20:56 PM M64-The Black Eye Galaxy (back to the M's again). This was imaged on 6-30-10. It is not my best image. I have fought to remove all of the noise but this was the best I could do with MaxIm DL Essentials and Photoshop. Taken with the 10" Meade LX200ACF Scope w/the Meade .63 focal reducer and the Orion StarShoot Pro V2 camera. (F5.9, focal length 1519mm). At only 17 million light years away, it is relatively bright. |
Patrick Holland 7/5/2010 10:10:56 PM This is my latest image from Scorpius, and my last stop on the Scorpius tour this season (on the Sagitarious and the Milky Way). This is NGC6357, AKA the "crab". The crab is less than 2 degrees away from the Cat's Paw Nebula and is no less spectacular. I actually burned out a bit of the core with this image. It was 18-15 degrees high in the southern sky when imaged on 7-5-10 (12:30 AM). This was imaged with the 14" Meade LX200GPS w/hyperstar (F2, 700mm FL). It consists of 28-40 second subs, 20 dark frames, 20 flat frames and 20 dark/flats. Image acquisition and pre-processing in Maxim DL Eassentials and post-processing was in Photoshop CS4. |
