- The Little Dumbell Nebula - M76
Messier 76 the Little Dumbell Nebula. The Nebula (upper left) is very small in this image. Hopefully I can make a more close up image one day. The large star is Phi Persei. Willams Optics 110 mm APO refractor on AP1200 and Canon 40D. Guided....
- The M109 Galaxy In Ursa Major
The Galaxy Messier 109, NGC3992 is a fine barred spiral galaxy in Ursa Major with Mag10,6 (13200 x fainter than Vega). It is about 46 MLY away from us. The faint galaxy to the left is UGC06969 (Mag15.4 - 132xfainter than M109) and the other one below...
- The Center Of The Nebula Ngc 281 In Cassiopeia - The Pacman Nebula
The NGC 281 Nebula in Casseopeia - The Pacman Nebula, is quite hard to get. The field of view in my picture does not quite cover the whole nebula. I will have to come back on the target with larger field of view using my refractor later. The Nebual...
- Ngc 1499 - The California Nebula
The Carlifornia nebula is a beautiful red Nebula in Perseus. 1000 LY from us. Celestron ED80 600mm f7.5, piggyback on CPC11, Canon 40D modified, No filters, Guided. Only 4x10 min, ISO 1600 before the clouds stopped the session....

Messier 97 and 108 in Ursa Major
The planetary nebula M97, also called Owl Nebula is bottom left in the picture. 2.6 kLY away and Mag 9.9. It is believed to be formed 6000 years ago.
The spiral galaxy M108 seen from the edge is about 50 MLY away with Mag 10.7.
The image was made out of 14 subs (5 at 3 min, 9 at 6 min), ISO 1600, light polluted sky, Telescope C 80ED (600mm, f7.5), Canon 40D, Guided.
