  Flintstone Stargazing — Authority: 114
  C20-North American Nebula (NGC7000) on 11-7-09 This was my first attempt at the North American Nebula, also known as C20 or NGC7000. If you look at the image sideways, it sort of looks like the gulf of mexico – actually other images by other people show the shape more completely (plus this is just a part of it – ...

• Hunter’s Moon on 11/1/09

  
  Flintstone Stargazing — Authority: 114
  Hunter’s Moon on 11/1/09 Technically, the moon will be full around 2:00pm tomorrow, but it won’t rise until sunset, so we won’t be able to see it when it’s actually full, so this is pretty close. Tonight’s sky was clear, with low humidity, and if it weren’t for the big, bright moon, I’d have images of ...

  Flintstone Stargazing — Authority: 114
  M27-Dumbbell Nebula on 10/28/09 Tonight was mostly clear, with occasional wispy clouds. I decided just to focus on one thing with my D50 and choose the Dumbbell Nebula – M27. M27 is a planetary nebula (which has nothing to do with planets) which is the remnants of a star that exploded. You can see the star if you ...

This crescent Moon reminded me that a month had passed since I last saw it… and reminded me that I had an unfinished business…Last month I was holidaying on an island called Pulau Tioman located at the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This ...

  M13-Great Hercules Cluster on 10/19/09 In addition to the Sculptor galaxy, I also took some images of M13 – the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules. It’s one of my favorite targets visually and with the DSI-II camera. This one shows it in context and inclues a small spiral galaxy in the upper right that’s ...

  Flintstone Stargazing — Authority: 114
  C65-Sculptor Galaxy on 10/19/09 Tonight was as nice as last night, but again, quite cold. I decided to do some more wide-field imaging with my Nikon D50 using the 2″ Orion SkyGlow Imaging Filter that I got a while back. I think it does a good job of lowering the overall sky noise that I’ve seen, particularly ...

  Flintstone Stargazing — Authority: 114
  M31-The Andromeda Galaxy on 10/18/09 It was very cold this evening, but the sky was clear and so I finally had a chance to try out my new imaging filter with my Nikon D50 camera. I decided to image the Andromeda Galaxy, M31 and I think it did a good job. I need to take some good flats to get the levelling right, but ...
