I shot the PacMan Nebula over a couple of nights. This is an LRGB image of about 8 hours of exposures. The Nebula is about 50% larger than the full Moon. I barely got it all in the picture. Still learning.

Here is my first attempt at imaging since I upgraded my observatory. NGC 7635 (Bubble
Nebula) is an emission nebula that lies in the constellation Cassiopeia. The bubble is
created by the stellar wind from a hot central star and the surounding gas glows from the radiation it emits. This LRGB image was compiled from about 8 hours of exposures.

Here's an image from today's sun (6-19-13) in White Light. AR 1775, which is not only large but is also capable of possiblly releasing of class M flares. It's a very interesting spot with lots of detail. This was taken with my Celestron GT102, Lunt Solar Wedge with my Orion 3X barlow. Camera used is the Grasshopper 3 (with the Baader continuum filter and UV/IR cut filter. 125 frames, stacked in Registax 6.1, processed in Photoshop CS3.
