M101

Posted by Paul Hardwick on
M101 The Pin Wheel Galaxy. A classic spiral galaxy in Ursa Major (Big Dipper). This is the result of 2hrs of images. It really needs several nights to improve the signal to noise and better conditions but I am pleased with it. Its surprising what can be done with a small scope.

M13, my deepest image yet

Posted by Paul Hardwick on
M13 the great cluster in the constellation of Hercules. You can also see a nice little galaxy off to the left. Not bad for my first serious attempt after 2+yrs. I've imaged this several times in the past but this is the best one yet.

Comet Neowise Over MRAO Cambridge

A lucky shot of Neowise C/2020 F3 over an MRAO radio astronomy dish.
Trying to find the perfect spot driving around for 1/2 an hour only to find this great location just around the corner from my house. Thanks to the owner of the farm for permission to access his field.
