M31 for Dan

Posted By Jean-Denis Douvier

Thank you for that beautiful mosaic.
I met Dan in July 2003 at Doughton Park, he asked me with his enthousiasm to join the group of astronomers who were observing there that night. He played a big part in my astrophotography hobby. I will miss him.

Nice widefield ! It is quite colorful over there, maybe I need to look into it more.

Very nice picture with striking details. I like the general colors and the bright spikes (not invading). Cool !

M74

Posted By Jean-Denis Douvier

I'm impressed by this one as the galaxy is small. Do you have an auto-guider ? M74 is not called the Phantom for nothing, it is really faint and you did a great job getting as much light as possible to see it so nicely. Color shows up, and with a 20D ! Nice and impressive !
