Rosette nebula - C49210 viewsNGC 2244 in the Constellation: Monoceros lies 5200 LY distant. I've re-processed it from my early attempts at imaging.

Caldwell 9. Cave nebula111 viewsCaldwell 9 in Patrick Moor's catalogue is an emission nebula 2400 LY distant in Cepheus, imaged with a canon 200D & pier mounted 8" reflector on a EQ6 Pro mount. Guided with the Gerald made off axis guider. 2 1/4 hours Ha filter and 5 hours UHC. Bill C

Caldwell 31/IC 405217 viewsFlaming Star Nebula is an emission/reflection nebula in Auriga spanning 5 LY at a distance of 1500 LY

Cone Nebula441 viewsAnother learning curve combining the two images. The Cone was well passed the meridian when using UHC for the star field, hence only 2 hours. The 'Gerald made' off axis guider is proving a real boon for tracking. Bill C

Crab nebula526 viewsTaken on a pier mounted EQ 6 Pro mount. 19 x 10 minute subs using a UHC clip filter. The 1100 D camera is off axis guided. Bill C

223 viewsNGC6888 Crescent nebula. An emission nebula in Cygnus about 5000 Ly distant. 7 3/4 hours in total with Ha (D1100) and UHC (D200) filters. Processed in Iris and Photoshop BillC

Double Cluster. NGC869 & 884323 viewsAnother try at processing this without losing stars. 9 x 10 minute exposures taken on 13th Oct 15. Skywatcher 200P on a EQ6 mount and guided with an Orion mini guider.
Processed in IRIS and Photoshop.

IC1396-Elephants Trunk Nebula300 viewsThis is the red channel Using a Ha 6nm filter. eight & half hours giving me all the info I need before combining it with 4 hours UHC filter on 28th & 29th to get the star colours. (note the triple star on the left.) Bill C

Horses Head Nebula 346 viewsTaken with a 8" Newtonian reflector on a EQ6 mount & guided with a Gerald Bramall designed off axis guider. UHC and H Alpha subs processed separately in IRIS then merged after removing the red stars in the Ha frame. Bill C

Heart Nebula337 viewsSpanning 200 light years at a distance of 7500 light years it's too tight in the frame but I could only just squeeze it in. Ha and UHC frames processes separately in IRIS and merged and further processed in Photoshop. The scope, on a pier mounted EQ6 is guided with a orion guide camera fixed to a Gerald Bramall off axis guider.

IC 1396 Elephants trunk nebula254 viewsPart of an emission nebula in Cepheus. Taken on a pier mounted EQ6 Pro mount and guided with a Gerald Bramall made off axis guider. Essential for the long exposures.

IC342 The hidden Galaxy136 viewsThe galaxy, at over 20' diameter and around 10 mly distant would be prominent if not hidden among the stars, gas and dust of the milky way. Over 7 hours of exposure without a filter in Dec 19 added to over 4 hours with a UHC filter in 2016. I found it difficult to process due to its faintness.

IC410-Tadpole nebula228 viewsIC410 is an emission nebula in Auriga. Different measurements of it's distance give up to 19500 ly. 8 hours of imaging using my 8" reflector.

Leo Triplet218 viewsThe Leo Triplet includes NGC 3628, Hamburger galaxy. About 35 mly distant. The light reaching my camera started out soon after the demise of the dinosaurs.
Just over four hours exposure using a UHC clip filter on a EOS 200D camera on a skywatcher 200p reflector.

M101 Pinwheel galaxy219 viewsA trillion stars occupy M101. 31 mly distant in Ursa Major. 5 and a half hours exposure with a UHC clip filter in a modded EOS 200D. EQ6 Pro mount on a fixed pier. Bill C

M 106229 viewsA spiral galaxy in constellation Canes Venatici. Up to 25m LY distant. Nine and a half hours exposure on two evenings using a UHC clip filter on a EOS 200D camera. Pier mounted Skywatcher 200P off axis guided.
