  • My Latest Astrophoto:  The Orion Nebula (M42)

    My Latest Astrophoto: The Orion Nebula (M42)

    It seems to be somewhat rare these days that I get to spend evenings out in my observatory shooting cool objects in the night sky.  Between the chaos that is my life and less than ideal weather conditions, I recently got the first night out in the observatory in months.  Last week I posted one…

  • My Latest Astrophoto: Spiral Galaxy M63

    My Latest Astrophoto: Spiral Galaxy M63

    It seems pretty rare for me to be lucky enough to get a break in the clouds lately so the other night when we actually had a clear night with great skies, I just had to open up the observatory and do some astrophotography!  For this particular evening, my target was the spiral galaxy M63.…

    Galaxy NGC 2841 – My latest Astrophoto

    Thanks to the full moon, it will be a few days before I am able to get back out with my telescope and start imaging again but I did get a pretty good shot on Sunday night of the distant galaxy NGC 2841. I’m starting to notice that I have reached the limit of what…

  • My Latest Astrophotography Shots: the Moon!

    My Latest Astrophotography Shots: the Moon!

    I always dislike this part of the lunar cycle because the amount of light reflected off of the moon makes it much more difficult to shoot a lot of the deep space objects I typically like to try to image like galaxies and nebulas.  If I do any astrophotography near the full moon, I usually…

  • A Galaxy Far Far Away – NGC 2403

    A Galaxy Far Far Away – NGC 2403

    Over the weekend we had some nice, clear skies so like usual, I was out taking full advantage of them and pointing my telescope out into the cosmos.  In this particular case, I was pointing them at the galaxy NGC 2403. The picture above is my my photo (click here for the full size image)…
