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!

Messier 17 - The Omega Nebula - Victory After Heartbreak! (17 hours SHOrgb on M17!)

Messier 17, The Omega Nebula, is a bright and popular target in the summer constellation of Sagittarius.

This image is the result of 17 hours of SHOrgb exposure on my William Optics 132 LFT platform.

The narrowband view of this shows the target in a way that is not often seen.

Considering that this project started with three nights of exposure, where 2 of the nights had all of the frames out of focus, I am really happy with the final results.
