Hi to all Here's an image of NGC 6744, the Pavo galaxy. As far as I'm concerned, it's a pretty tough object and even with a total exposure of 3 1/2 hours this...

Very attractive 'family picture', Steve, another sight I could never enjoy without you astro-imagers on the night shift. Jim...
... Mike, Spectacular with a capital S! I thought you might start running out of "amateur" type targets, but obviously that's not a problem. How about a...
I've placed a different view of this faint extended nebula in Apus at: http://boeingastro.org/asp/photo_gallery/detail.asp?iPic=371&iType=32 Click on "Next...
Who needs colour? I think this is even better than the first version....

Just saw something neat a few minutes ago that I thought I'd share... The Shuttle + ISS made a pass low in the SW around 6.36pm. As they had undocked only a...
Hi Vello, Yes, I saw exactly the same thing with my 7x50s, and a check of comparison stars showed I was not imagining their duplicity. I would suppose 50...
Well after finishing my Pavo galaxy image this morning at 7.00am after an allnighter of imaging, I have just had, get this......a visual observing night,...

Yep. 2005 NF1 was the asteroid I discovered at the start of July. Then last week I discovered 2 more asteroids while imaging comet C2002 L3 - and they got...
As usual - a fantastic image. We all well appreciate the image processing skills you apply to your images to get the best appearances and remove flaws. Can we...
