Jim Aldrich 10/19/2014 6:13:20 PM NGC 925 is located about 30mly distant in the constellation Triangulum. It is classified as a barred galaxy with a bent bar in its core. Around ten hours of exposures were needed to capture the image through LRGB filters. Image acquisition in TheSkyX software, Stacked & Registered in CCDStack, finishing touches in Photoshop 6. | Jim Aldrich 10/1/2014 3:21:56 AM The famous Ring Nebula (M57). This planetary nebula is about 1ly wide and 2000ly distant. Twenty 50sec integrations were acquired and stacked with MiloSlick video software. Final processing in Photoshop. Celestron 9.25" SCT 6.3 FR @ FL 1480mm Celestron AVX Mount MallinCam EX - Unguided | Jim Aldrich 9/29/2014 5:49:38 PM Here is my attempt to extract galaxy IC 342 through the dusty disk of our home galaxy. It is located in the constellation Camelopardalis, about 10mly distant. Since the galaxy is obscured by dust it requires long 10min exposures to reveal any details. This image was created from about 13 hours of exposures through Luminous, Red, Green, & Blue filters.

Distance to Earth: 23,160,000 light years Apparent mass: ~160 billion M☉ Magnitude: 8.4 Absolute magnitude: 8.4 Constellation: Canes Venatici | Edward Henry (AstroEd) https://www.flickr.com/photos/100203402@N04/ 7/27/2014 1:59:53 AM Images taken with Lodestar guide cam and Lodestar Live 0.9 The Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula in the northern constellation of Lyra. Such objects are formed when a shell of ionized gas is expelled into the surrounding interstellar medium by a red giant star. Age: 7,000 years Magnitude: 8.8 Distance to Earth: 2,283 light years Absolute magnitude: -0.2 | Edward Henry 7/27/2014 1:57:45 AM The Omega Nebula, also known as the Swan Nebula, Checkmark Nebula, Lobster Nebula, and the Horseshoe Nebula is an H II region in the constellation Sagittarius. It was discovered by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1745. Magnitude: 6 |
