Rosette Nebula

Posted By Mark Hanson

Here is a picture of the Rosette Nebula I took on Monday morning. The transparency was very good; there was some light pollution due to its elevation in the early morning sky.

It consists of 20-210sec images at ISO1600 using a Canon 10D and a Tak FSQ106 at F5. All images were calibrated, aligned and combine using Images Plus.

NGC7331 Deer Lick Group

Posted By Mark Hanson

Here is an image of NGC 7331 and the surrounding galaxies in this area. It was 30-7min exposures at ISO1600 using a Canon 10D and shot through a 12"LX200 at F10. It was guided with a STV mounted on a C5 at F5.95.

All processing was done in Images Plus and Photoshop6

California Nebula with 10D

Posted By Mark Hanson

Here is a picture of the California Nebula I took with a Canon 10D and FSQ106. Its a 2 part mosaic and each part was 30-5min images at F5 all were taken in raw mode and converted/aligned/stacked in Images Plus and processed in IP and PS.

Off to Kitt Peak we'll see how the 10D does on a 20" RC smile

Arizona and Kitt Peak trip

Posted By Mark Hanson

Well just got back from southern Arizona and did a lot of sight seeing and spent a few nights on Kitt Peak. Unfortunately I was unable to use the Canon 10D on the 20” RC as the FSQ-106 was to hard to balance on it and needed it to guide with. Did get a chance to get one image using the 10XME. I posted some pics from the vacation on my website if your interested.

Here is a image of the Milky Way around Cygnus. It was taken with a Canon 10D and 35mm lens at F2.5 using a Lumicon DSF. It’s a stack of 12-5min images at ISO1600. It was stacked in Images Plus and processed in PS.

Thanks for looking.
