- The Rosette Nebula In Monoceros In Ha
The Rosette Nebula with NGC 2244 star cluster in its middle is beautiful. The mass of the nebula is estimated to be around 10,000 solar masses. The cluster and nebula lie at a distance of some 5,200 LY from Earth and measure roughly 130 LY in diameter....
- M74 - Ngc628 In Pisces
The spiral galaxy M74/NGC628 in Pisces, about 30 MLY away. A low surface object not quite easy to get. Here is my first try. Celestron CPC11, focal lenght 2800 mm, f10, Canon 40D modified. Guided with Stellarvue 200 mm, f4 and NexImage. 10 x 10 min,...
- Ic5134 And Ngc7129 In Constellation Cepheus.
The reflection nebula IC 5134 and associated star cluster NGC 7129. 3000 LY away from us. Unfortunately the moon was up all night. CPC 1100, 2800 mm, f10, Guided with Stellarvue 200mm, f4 and NexImage video camera. 15x10 min ISO 1600 with Canon 40D...
- Messier 106 In Constellation Canes Venatici
The spiral galaxy M106 has a beautiful pattern in the core. It is located 23.7 MLY from us in the constellation Canes Venatici and has apparent magnitude of 9.1. The image is produced from 28 subs of 6 min each, ISO 1600, CPC11 with focal reducer...
- Messier 33 - Ngc 598 In Triangulum.
In Triangulum the M33 galaxy is impressive. 2.8 MLY from us with Mag6,3.25x10 min, ISO 1600 with Celestron 80ED refractor, 600 mm, f7,5 with 0.8 reducer/flattener.Camera Canon 40D modified, guided with Stellarvue 200mm, f4 and NexImage....
