Here is a widefield image of IC1396, aka the Elephant Trunk nebula. This was made with a simple setup using a canon lens and a ccd camera…
Yesterday I wanted to do a last test of my new Canon 100mm lens with my CCD to see if I could do some mosaicing. When I started I decided to go for really large scale. So I decided to try to do it with short exposures to see what I could get. I ended …

Images of the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula made with a 100mm Canon lens at F2.8 and a SXV-H9 CCD camera.
Recently I bought a geoptik adapter to attach a Canon lens to my SXV-H9 ccd. I also bought a Canon f2.0 100mm lens to start making widefields… This night I made my first test at home of the setup. It consists of the SXV-H9 with the canon lens on an EQ6 mount without any autoguiding …
When browsing through the Sky & telescope website I stumbled upon one of my images… Nice…
NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus. The complex encompasses the emission region designated Sharpless 171, and the young cluster of stars named Berkeley 59. The complex is believed to be some 800-1000 pc distant, with the younger components aged no more than a few million years. The complex …
Hubble imagery of NGC 3256. Galaxies don’t normally look like this. NGC 3256 actually shows a current picture of two galaxies that are slowly colliding. Quite possibly, in hundreds of millions of years, only one galaxy will remain. Today, however, NGC 3256 shows intricate filaments of dark dust, unusual tidal tails of stars, and a …
Here is the final result of my M106 hubble processing. Unfortunately the F435W and F814W data were not clean enough to generate a good color image. So I decided to combine the Hubble data with groundbased data. This is comparable with what was done with the famous Carina Nebula image of Hubble where also groundbased …
