M53 - A quick test

Posted By Jim Thommes

Nice image Tyler.

There are some Ha objects out there - but they are pretty dim. Sh2-190 is at about 9hrs RA. Or, you could wait 'til 2:00 AM and have your fill with the summer Milky Way.

M51 - orion 80

Posted By Jim Thommes

Nico,
Welcome, and very nice M51!
I am using the same camera you are (well, nearly the same). I am using the Artemis285.

I see that the details are very good with the barlow on the ED 80.

Congrats Peter! APOD on a pretty difficult object - SH2-240. (And a mosaic as well.)

Joe,
Pretty cool image!

I guess you are skimming the horizon imaging this object from TSP.
