Sh2-106 - Snow Angel Nebula482 viewsEmission nebula and star forming region in Cygnus, about 2000 light-years from Earth.
M83-20210403-LRGB2.jpg
M83 - The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy481 viewsA barred spiral galaxy about 15 million light-years away in Hydra, on the border with Centaurus. The nickname derives from its resemblance to the Northern Pinwheel Galaxy, M101.
IC4592_20240601_RASA11_ASI2600_NBZ2.JPG
IC4592, the Blue Horsehead Nebula481 viewsReflection Nebula in Scorpius, lit up by Nu Scorpii. About 400 light-years away.
SolarEclipse-20021204-DX03A.jpg
Sunspots478 viewsThe Sun in this early-pre-totality eyepiece-projection shot is too big to fit into the frame, but the sunspots do show up well.
M31-20220920-OSC2.jpg
M31 - The Andromeda Galaxy478 viewsA wide-field view of the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.5 million light years away and 152,000 light years in diameter. Satellite galaxies M32 (above right of center, on rim of M31) and M110 (bottom center) also appear in the frame. Red swath at left was caused by a reflection of the red power-on light on the ZWO ASI2600MC camera, which sits in front of the telescope.

Seven minutes after Third Contact477 viewsC3 + 7:01
SolarEclipse-20170821-3813.jpg
Third Contact plus 41 Minutes476 viewsThis was my last photo of the 2017 eclipse. The Eclipse Nazis (aka site monitors), not understanding that eclipses don't end at Third Contact, were harassing us to pack up our gear and clear off the site.
NGC253_20230920_v1.jpg
NGC 253 - The Silver Dollar Galaxy473 viewsSpiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor.
NGC7000_20220726_DB1.jpg
NGC7000 - The North American Nebula472 viewsNarrowband image of an H-II emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus; only part of the nebula is visible since it is too large to fit entirely in the field of view of the telescope. 2,590 light-years distant and 90 light-years across.
IC1805_20231020_NBZ_v1.JPG
The Heart Nebula471 viewsEmission nebula in Cassiopeia, 7500 light-years away from Earth. The Fish-head Nebula is also seen as a cancerous outgrowth from the Heart Nebula at lower left.
M45_20230914_LPF_v1.jpg
M45 - The Pleiades469 viewsOpen star cluster in the constellation Taurus. Nearest Messier object to Earth (444 light-years).
