... That's a super result Steve! Very vibrant colours and plenty of details - one of your best images IMO. You inspired my choice of object for what will most...
Like Steve's superb close up version he has just completed I thought the Lambda Centauri nebulosity or "Running Chicken Nebula" would be in my sights as...
Here is an image of the region around the interacting galaxy pair in Corvus NGC 4038/4039 often refered to as the Ringtail or Antennae galaxy. I have posted...
I noticed you could fit both of these in the same field although the resulting image looks a bit lopsided. They do make a nice contrasting pair though I...
Here is another version of the image I posted yesterday of the two Centaurus galaxies NGC4945 and 4976. I processed it pretty quickly and wasn't really happy...

A spectacular view of an active region this morning - the intense white storm imaged on March 8 (link below) has evolved into a great tear across the SEB...
After a marathon imaging session on another object, last night I snapped this quick image of our southern version of, I guess, the North American Nebula? You...
Amazing stuff Anthony How's Murrumbateman treating you? Horrible dark skies I gather? :-) What's the seeing like compared to Canberra? Mike ... white ... of ...
Yeah, it's been very tough - dark skies so I keep tripping over things that I used to see clearly when I lived in Canberra, it's so quiet I have trouble...

I haven't done the Sombrero galaxy in quite a while, the last time being with my now seldom used ST10. I remember being very pleased with the ST10 shot at the...
just wondering if anybody out there has access to or know of any 18"/450mm diameter cardboard tubes about? I need a home for a 16" mirror, and my first thought...

Here's one I knocked off on Saturday night. Not one of my best efforts but it does show this not often imaged and fairly boring galaxy reasonably well and...

I took the opportunity last night of getting some hydrogen alpha data on the bipolar emission nebula NGC6164-65. When the moon goes away again there will...
It stayed clear long enough for me for me to get some colour for NGC6164-65. I'll probably go back again and get some more Hydrogen alpha when it clears up...
Well, that's definitely better. I actually preferred the gray-scale image - it looked more natural. I think this on is still too much on the red. cheers, Jack...
