"The Dumb-bell." My first color (RGB) image. Not very successful:  the telescope must have shifted during the green exposure, and no amount of post-process shifting on my part can get it right!

"The Trifid."  Using MaxIm DL/CCD now as my image manipulation/camera control software of choice... However, as I found with this image, the software mixed up the green and red filters (easy enough to sort out, though)! This image, like the one above, is heavily cropped; the file size has been reduced further using other means.

Twenty one-minute exposures stacked.  Hickson 56A (the little edge-on gal) was visible with just a one minute exposure. This galaxy is extremely difficult--visually--in a 17.5 reflector! One of my favorite perspectives in the whole sky.

"The Millenium Falcon." My favorite edge-on.  Twenty thirty-second exposures stacked, stretched, and cropped.

"Berenices' Hairclip." Everyone else's favorite edge-on!  Twenty thirty-second exposures stacked, stretched, and cropped.

"The Crescent Nebula." Twenty thirty-second exposures stacked, stretched, and cropped.

Only a 30-second exposure; quite noisy.

"The Inkspot."  Taken with my 4" refractor (Genesis sdf f/5.4). Ten thirty-second exposures stacked, stretched, and cropped.

Twenty sixty-second exposures stacked, log-scaled, and cropped.

"The Snake." Ten thirty-second exposures stacked and stretched.

"The Pinwheel."  A disappointing image; very noisy.   I don't know what went wrong... Ten 60-second images stacked and stretched.

"The Whirlpool."  20 one-minute exposures stacked, stretched, and cropped.

A B&W image (compare with color one above). 20 thirty-second exposures stacked, stretched, and cropped.
