M13 - The Great Cluster In Hercules31 viewsThis was my first ever deep sky image taking on the 1 June 2006, Balbriggan Co.Dublin. David Grennan and Myself were testing My new 14" OTA with a 6.3 focal reducer at the time .
M13 was discovered by Edmond Halley in 1714, and catalogued by Charles Messier on June 1, 1764. M13 is about 145 light-years in diameter, and it is composed of several hundred thousand stars, the brightest of which is the variable star V11 with an apparent magnitude of 11.95. M13 is 25,100 light-years away from Earth.

M27 - The Dumbell Nebula25 viewsThis was taken on the same night as the M13 image on 1 June 2006,. This was a great night for me. Looking back at this image is funny even if it's not a master peace. It's when I started out in the world of Deep Sky imaging.

Cygnus Milkyway Arm62 viewsPresented here is a widefield view of the northern constellation Cygnus, known since the time of the ancients as the 'Swan'. This is a fabulous visual part of our northern hemisphere's milkyway, in which we are looking inward towards the cygnus spiral arm which hosts many deep sky treasures including the North America and Pelican nebulae, Messier cluster's M29 & 39, and the great 'Cygnus Rift', which is composed of a huge mass of galactic dust. This is best seen on clear summer nights.
