NGC281 - The Pacman Nebula RGB56 viewsNGC 281 is an H II region in the constellation of Cassiopeia and part of the Perseus Spiral Arm. It includes or is near the open cluster IC 1590, the double star HD 5005, and several Bok globules. It is visible in amateur telescopes from dark sky locations. It is sometimes unofficially referred to as the Pacman Nebula owing to its fancied resemblance to the eponymous hero of the arcade game Pac-Man.

NGC 2841 - Galaxy in Ursa Major80 viewsNGC 2841 is an inclined unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. In 2001 the Hubble Space Telescope surveyed of the galaxy's Cepheid variables determined that it was approximately 14.1 megaparsecs or 46 million light years distant. (Thats around 276 million million million miles) Structurally, NGC 2841 is noted for its large population of young blue stars, and few star forming regions

M57 The Ring Nebula34 viewsThis is another The Sky at Night used for there programme image taken on July & August .Planetary nebulae are formed after medium or low mass stars, such as the Sun, exhaust their hydrogen fuel in the stellar core. At this point the structure of the star changes so it can achieve a new equilibrium condition in which it can continue to burn; the outer layers of the star expand and it becomes a red giant. Further internal temperature instabilities develop from the fusion reactions, causing the outer atmosphe

Gamma Cgyni IC1318113 viewsIC 1318, is the diffuse emission nebula surrounding Sadr or Gamma Cygni. Sadr lies in the center of Cygnus' cross. The Sadr region is one of the surrounding nebulous regions, others include the Butterfly nebula and the Crescent Nebula. It contains many dark nebulae in addition to the emission diffuse nebulae

Melotte15 Inside The Heart Nebula61 viewsThe Heart Nebula, IC 1805, lies some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. This is an emission nebula showing glowing gas and darker dust lanes. The nebula is formed by plasma of ionized hydrogen and free electrons.
The nebula's intense red output and its configuration are driven by the radiation emanating from a small group of stars near the nebula's center. This open cluster of stars known as Melotte 15 contains a few bright star

Jupiter RGB67 viewsHere is my first images of Jupiter it was time to let the beast out of the bag and do some planetary imaging with the C14. Jupiter was around 25 Degrees up seeing was very good . it was such a pleasure to be under clear skies again.
Hope you like the images
Details are under the image.

Jupiter RGB70 viewsHere is another image from the 15th that I did an experiment with.I processed and combined the RGB in MaxIm - dL V4.. I put in the RGB weight factors of the filters, did a planetary align and then some further processing in photoshop. I don't think it turned out to bad.
