Thank You Mike!

Thanks Jim, I probably wouldn't have tried this object but it showed up in a wide field shot I took of the area around the Crescent Nebula.

It's been a great summer with many clear nights. I keep my scope set up in the backyard so it is convienent to get out any time. This is a pretty faint object but the narrow band filters helped. I took 41-360 second subs of Ha and 77-360 second subs of OIII. My location is between Bortle 7 and...

Thanks Jim, the weather is starting to get nice so I can leave my equipment set up for days. I'll probably be getting more shots now. It sure was nice having an observatory, I really miss it.

This was a quick shot from last night. It was discovered in Late April.

Thanks Mike! When if first shot the object I didn't see much data when using the 03 and s2 filters so I gve up on the object. Using the optolong lp pro really helped.

That's a great shot!

I should have just used the Ha in mono to get the real feel of a snowman.

I started this shot of SH2-254-257 when I lived in Florida back in 2019 and I finally finished this 12-12-26 here in Oregon. I used the Celestron 9.25 in Florida ASI 1600 mm, 29-300 sec. subs Ha I used the Takahashi FSQ 106 with the 1.6 extender in Oregon. 60-60 sec subs red filter 60-60...

Thanks Mike, I did the Rosette a long time ago at a dark site with a modified Canon Rebel XT and the William Optics FLT 110. I also did it with the Tak in SHO in my backyard in Florida.

Nice image Mike, I like the colors. I have to try this one.

Thank Jim, yes I did take one in December, there were some high clouds, but I did get the shot

Thanks Alan!

We finally had some nice clear nights in Oregon so I dusted off the equipment. I used the FSQ106 with the .073 reducer, ASI533mc and the Optolong L Pro filter. I took three hours of 30 sec shots. Bortle 7.

We had a couple of nice nights to get a shot of comet Lemmon. There were trees in the line of site so it was still a little bright when taking the shot. Ioptron 30pro ASI 533mc Canon 100mm f2.8 macro Lens 39 60 sec subs Pixinsight and Photoshop
