: Orions sword region showing the the Horse Head Nebula and two of the stars in the belt Alnitak and Alnilam, extending down to M42 The Great Orion Nebula, completeing the sword region. A three frame mosaic with added image data from previous Horse Head, Running Man, and M42 shots. Nearly 17 hours of exposure time. Te;escope AG8 and H35 camera three panel mosaic.

: Integrated Flux Nebula with galaxies M81 ands M82. Exposure times was a total 30.5 hours. 8hours in Luminance Red, Blue and 4hours in Green, 2.5hours in H-alpha.

: M33 in Triangulum 60mins in Luminance 60mins in Red, 54mins in Blue and 28mins in Green

: A two panel mosaic Comet Lovejoy Q2 imaged on January 16 2015 as it passed though Taurus. Exposures were LRGB 300s in each channel total 40mins.

: LDN 1622 The Phantom Nebula in Orion…this one just eats photons. Exposure times 100mins in Red, 144mins in Blue, 120mins in Ha and 84mins in green.

: Ngc4725 and Ngc4747 in Coma Berenices exposure times Luminance 6x20mins plus the RGB subs, red 3x20mins Green 3x14mins Blue 3x18mins. This pair are very small in the full frame so Ive cropped in to stop them disappearing into nothing.

: An alternative crop of Markarians Chain.

: The Horse Head Nebula and surounding area, Exposures were 4 hours in Ha, 40mins in Red 18mins in Green and 95mins in Blue…I still plan on getting more colour frames for it.

: SH2-155 The Cave Nebula in Cassiopeia. Exposure times were 2hours in each RGB for a total time of 6 hours. All RGB subs were combined to make a pseudo luminance channel.

: B-143 in Aquila exposure time 3x600s in Red 3x420in Green and 3x530s in Blue. Scope 300mm F/3.8 Newtonian Astrograph and Starlight Xpress H-35 full frame. No Flat, Bias or Dark frames taken for this image. It was only a test shot after a refurb of the scope and mount.
