Imaging Projects
In this blog, I will share the results of all of my imaging projects. The newest will be at the top and the oldest will be further down the stack. Going back in time here is interesting - some of my early stuff was pretty rough - but I did not see it that way at the time - I was thrilled to get anything back that looked like an image! Hopefully, you will see how my work has progressed with time!
Stephan’s Quintet – HCG 92 / Arp 319 Compact Galaxy Group - 24 Hours of LRGB!
Stephan’s Quintet is a compact group of galaxies in Pegasus caught in the middle of a slow-motion cosmic collision – four true members being stretched, stripped, and reshaped by gravity while a fifth foreground spiral simply photobombs the scene. This deep LRGB image reveals distorted spiral arms, long tidal tails, and the bright cores of galaxies that are gradually merging into a single massive system hundreds of millions of light-years away.
NGC 7331 and the Deer Lick Group with Supernova SN2025rbs (4.7 hours in LRGB)
While on a multi-night streak of capturing subs on my Sharpstar SCA 260 Galaxy scope, I retasked one night of shooting to try and get an image of NGC 7331 while Supernova SN2025rbs was still visible.
