Astrophotography

One of my favourite objects to image.
This is what I see.....
Now go back to the previous picture and see what you see..
 

One of my favourite objects to image.
This is what the camera sees.....

Watcher of the skies watcher of all
His is a world alone no world is his own,
He whom life can no longer surprise,
Raising his eyes beholds a planet unknown.

..from "Genesis"

One more shot of the horsehead nebula this early December.
I do not have a Hbeta filter, so the Halpha had to do.

This little gem is straight overhead this early december evenings.
Just got my guider so I had to try it. The results are encouraging.

108 one minute combined image of NGC6822 in Sagittarius thru Orion 80ED and Orion Ha filter from southern New Jersey.

Taken in August '08  one hour combined image of the Elephant Trunk region processed in Photoshop, false color adds something to it, not sure what! Hehehe.  Shot from Whiting, NJ thru Ha filter.

Moon a few days after the last Full Moon. 7 images staked with Registax 4.01

Third attempt at using the software. You don't want to see number 2!
