NGC 4565 "Needle" Galaxy

I took this LRGB image in the early hours of the morning of May 14, 2012. It was a whim after imaging Saturn all night and I had to rush to finish it due to the early sunrise. It was taken with my ATIK 3l4e and Antares f/6.3 Focal Reducer and my 8"…

NGC 4631 "Whale" Galaxy & Companion Galaxy NGC 4627

I have seen these 2 galaxies called the "Whale & Pup" as well if I'm not mistaken. They reside in the constellation, Canes Venatici. This was taken April 13/14, 2012 from my backyard. The weather provided a window of opportunity to do some LRGB…

M1 "Crab" Nebula in Constellation Taurus

From a supernova in 1054 AD, here are the remnants of that event....the way we see it today. I finally managed to get complete sets of R, G, & B subfrrames. The weather barely cooperated this time and I had to miss the club meeting because of…

Randall (Randy) Krall left a comment for Brendan Millbank
"Hello Brenden, The CCD Camera is an ATIK. A British company but the cameras are made in Portual. They range in price from $500.00 to 5,000. Mine was about 1100.00. It mounts via a nosepiece (1.25") or adaptable to a SCT 2" nosepiece. There…"

Andromeda Galaxy (M31), M32 & M110

"Hi Brendan, This was taken with a Stellarvue Nighthawk 80mm achromat and my Canon XSi in my backyard. Only at a very dark site will you be able to see the full galaxy and you need about a 80mm refractor to cover the entire galaxy. Your SCT produces…"

Andromeda Galaxy (M31), M32 & M110

"Was this taken using your Meade 8" SCT? I tried to get a good video of Andromeda, but so far I've only found a light smudge. That was using a 12mm Plossl eyepiece in a Celestron C8 scope. Naturally it would be easier to resolve using long…"

Horse Head Nebula in Orion (IC 434)

"I've got a Celestron C8 on an equatorial mount. How does the Sony CCD you have fit onto your Meade? "

Horse Head Nebula in Orion (IC 434)

"Thanks Brendon. Clear skies are few and far between despite the relatively mild and dry winter we've had to date. Wouldn't it be nice if Orion was a circumpolar constellation, then we could image portions of it whenever we wanted to.…"

Horse Head Nebula in Orion (IC 434)

"Nice shot. Very encouraging to see someone imaging with a scope similar to mine. I was looking at Orion on the same night as you as well."

Hi Randy,

I posted a question in the forum about starting astro photography. Could you lend me the benefit of your experience by replying to it?

Thanks, Garland
