I had an opportunity to grab a few hours of pictures during the nights of 2/17-18. My target was the Rosette Nebula, which is in a good position in the sky this time of year. Here's the results - the first in nautural color with a wide-angle scope, the second and third shots are in narrowband from my SCA260 scope (one in hubble SHO palette, one in Foraxx palette. Enjoy one of my favorites!

We had clear skies on 11/22 so I managed to get a few shots of M45 (the Pleiades), and sh2-129 squid nebula. The first three shots are M45 with different cameras and scopes, the last two are of sh2-129 - you can start to see the oblong blue nebula which is the Squid shape. I didn't capture enough shots to truly bring out the full shape, but hopefully I can add more to it over time. Enjoy!

I managed to get a few shots of NGC7293, The Helix Nebula on 10/16. This is usually pretty low on my horizon so it's difficult to capture. Well worth the effort though...The first shot is natural color, the second and third are Hubble Palette and Foraxx Palette narrowband images. Thanks for looking. Ps8:3-4

I had an opportunity to shoot IC5146 The Cocoon Nebula, and The area around the star cluster NGC6883 over the last couple nights. Attached are the results. One pic of the cocoon nebula, and then several views of NGC6883 in narrowband palettes and natural color. Enjoy!

Last night was clear and no moon, which makes for some good pictures. Attached are three shots of Sh2-171 / CED214. The first is in visible light, the second and third are narrowband images with different color palettes.

I had a couple more opportunities to snap a few pictures. Included here are SH2-155 The Cave Nebula, and a well-known favorite for this time of year M-16 The Eagle Nebula made famous by the Hubble Telescope's shots of it, and particularly the area in the center called The Pillars of Creation. These shot include natural light, plus a couple alternative color palettes to show varying details.

I have some new pics for you! Over the past couple weeks I've managed to open the observatory roof to clear skies. With a good collection of targets, I got behind on processing. Nonetheless, here they are - IC5070 The Pelican Nebula, and The Cygnus Wall in NGC7000
