Barnard 169

Posted By Thomas V Davis

Here's B169 in Cepheus. It is an interesting group of dark filaments and knots, some of which are really dense!

I hope you enjoy this unusual object.

Kaleidoscopic Dust -- LBN438

Posted By Thomas V Davis

Well, it didn't take me long but I'm back imaging dust. Here is LBN438 in Lacerta. It has the appearance of a cometary globule. I find the multicolored dust to be very beautiful.

I hope you enjoy it.

47 Tucanae (NGC104)

Posted By Thomas V Davis

Here is a quick image I took from my remote observatory in Australia. The weather has been very cloudy there all winter. I would like to get more data to better define the core, but that will have to wait for the sky to clear.

finally got some core data - 47 Tuc

Posted By Thomas V Davis

I finally got some 60 second exposure data for the core. It is still bright but less burnt out. So many stars it is hard to process the halo and not burn out the core - even at 60 seconds!!!

I think it is better.

M33; first pass

Posted By Thomas V Davis

I've been gathering some data on M33. Here is my first pass at processing. I'm sure I'll be playing with the data for a while.

M33 reprocessed - not as harsh

Posted By Thomas V Davis

I'm still trying to get the Ha data added to this galaxy without being quite as harsh. Here's the latest. Better I think.

Cocoon revisited

Posted By Thomas V Davis


I revisited my Cocoon data that I took in June. I reprocessed the mosaic and thought it came out better. There's lots of dust up there causing a slight red shift to the star colors.
