Hmmmmm.... Doesn't look like it, at least not directly. I've downloaded CCDStack to try. Should be interesting to see how big a difference the program can...
Hi Jim, It is not evident that this is a classified as a Bok type globule, but it is definately part of a larger molecular cloud in this very rich region of...
Hello John Yeah, your H-alpha images are my standard reference, and like you say; 'all kinds of cool star stuff...' I haven't, however, seen these web pages...
I don't know how many others on the group were able to attend GSSP 2008, but it turned out to be a pretty good star party for imaging. We did have a bit of...
