While imaging the sun I noticed all of these small objects going at different speeds crossing the field of view. I've seen this before but just one show up every once in a while. I have several videos that I will piece together to show how many there were over a 15 minute period. I'm not saying...

I took these shots two way. The full disc was taken so I could process the prominence and the surface detail without combining two images. The promimence shot was taken to make the proms. stand out more so I just blacked out the overexposed surface. here is a link to a beetter res. for the full...

This object is in the bad part of the sky for me. My neighbors patio lights, Walmart, Wendy's, McDonalds, and a Mall. The power of narrow band filters are amazing. Taken with the Celestron 9.25 and 0 .7 reducer, ASI 1600mm camera. This was a short ammount of time. 20-60sec Ha, 15-180 sec O3 and...

Our town had a boom of Burrowing Owls this year, there are nests everywhere. I wish I would have gone out earlier when the chicks were younger. I was driving by and saw some young ones sitting out .

Last night is was clear so I was looking for planetary nebula to image. This was in perfect position for me to image. It is quite small even for my 9.25 scope so it is cropped considerably. This isn't imaged that much so I gave it a try. I used the Celestron 9.25 w/0.7 reducer. Asi 1600mm, and...

I've been imaging the sun since 2009 and this is the strangest prominence I ever shot. there were also two nice sunspots.

I took the solar scope out this morning to get the sunspot. The white areas are very hot and the dark streaks are the prominences as we look down on then.

This link will take you to the full resolution shot of the moon 2021-05-23-0043_7_lapl5_ap1047reg-Dnps.JPG photo - Chuck Pavlick photos at pbase.com . I almost got it all in. This was taken with the Celestron 9.25 and 0.7 reducer which makes it 1645mm.

There were some nice bright prominences so I changed camera so i can get the full disc. Here is a link to larger image sun prominence 2021-05-18 photo - Chuck Pavlick photos at pbase.com Lunt 60 Ha scope ASI 1600mm 2.5 extender Best 50 frames

Really nice prominence this morning. scope: Lunt 60 Camera: DMK21AU618 mono camera with 2.5 extender I used 62% of 700 frames Processed in Photoshop and Topaz gigapixel

Another one of my reprocessed images taken with a modified dslr and a William Optics FLT 110 telescope. Omega Centauri is the largest globular cluster in the milky way. It is about 17000 light years away, estimated to have 10 million stars and 150 light years in diameter. One of the few objects...

Here is another reprocess I've done. This was taken with the Celestron 9.25 Lepus 0.62 reducer, SBIG8300 color camera. I did 11subs at 420sec.

Prominence from this morning about 9am. Lunt60 solar scope. DMK au21618 camera and 2x barlow. Taken in mono and added false color with photoshop.

Here is another reprocessed shot. This was taken with the Celestron 9.25, Optec 0.62 reducer, SBIG 8300c camera. 16-300 sec. subs. This was taken in Bortle 5 skies.

This is another Galaxy I took with the William Optics FLT110/f7 and the SBIG 8300 C Camera . I took 10-480sec subs. Reprocessed from the stack I did several years ago.

I'm still reprocessing some of my shots I took with the one shot color ccd cameras that I had over the years. This was taken with the William Optics FLT100/F7 and the SBIG 8300c so I could fit all the galaxies in the shot. I took 10-720sec. subs. Here is a link to a little larger version. M106...

Here is another galaxy shot I took a few years back using the SBIG 8300 color camera and the Celestron 9.25 with a Optec focal Reducer. Here is a link to a little larger image and shows all the info. NGC 891 photo - Chuck Pavlick photos at pbase.com

My back and hip are feeling better so I finally had the ability to put my Celestron 9.25 back in the observatory. I didn't have much time last nice so I just took a few shots. Don't look promising for the next couple of nights. I used 50% of 600 frames and stacked in Autostakkert and processed...

I'm from the southwest Fl. and this year we had some western birds show up that were rare for us. We had the Grooved Bill Ani, Ash throated Flycatcher, Cinnamon Teal, and Bullock Oriole, and we also had an Iceland Gull. I know there are a lot of people are from the west here at Focal World...
