Two Galaxies in one frame

Posted on January 16, 2018January 21, 2018 by 58glassArt

The Bode and Cigar are a galactic duo fairly high in the north sky these evenings. Wish I could stay up all night sometimes but I do like my sleep too! My setup is not automated to the point of trusting things to run themselves, so I still have to call it and shut down at some point. At least I can monitor things from the couch with one eye open while imaging.

Fireworks Galaxy

Posted on October 26, 2017January 21, 2018 by 58glassArt

Fireworks Galaxy taken 10/24. Still warm nights which is good for me but not so much for the camera performance. Tracking was decent and no wind to mess with me thank goodness. This one was a dozen five minute exposures but this is a dim target. Definitely will come back to this one.

NGC-891

Posted on October 16, 2017January 21, 2018 by 58glassArt

NGC 891 is a galaxy seen from earth almost perfectly edge on. Very interesting target!. This is my image from last night with 9 frames at 5 minutes each. Now that it is getting dark earlier I don’t even have to stay up past midnight!

Triangulum Galaxy

Posted on September 28, 2017January 21, 2018 by 58glassArt

After months of summer smoke, I finally got out to do a little astrophotography last night. About an hour of stacked exposure on the Triangulum Galaxy. Several tries at image processing as I am still learning even the basic photoshop work. Fun stuff for my level!

Evil Eye Galaxy

Posted on July 13, 2017January 21, 2018 by 58glassArt

Evil Eye Galaxy image from last night lives up to it’s name. Big fat moon limited the night when it came up, but it amazes me to see what is out there! One of the first images with the Canon T1i camera.
