PhotographerCraig & Tammy TempleLocationHendersonville, TNDateApril 11 & 12, 2010EquipmentCelestron C8 Schmidt-Cassegrain at f/6.3; Orion Atlas EQ-G, off-axis guided; Modified Canon Digital Rebel T1i; Astronomik CLS-CCD EOS Clip; 38 x 480sec @ ISO 800DescriptionM61 (NGC4303) is a magnitude 10.18 spiral galaxy located about 52 million light-years distant in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered on May 5, 1779 by Barnabus Oriani while searching for a comet. Charles Messier saw M61 this same night, but thougt it was the comet. After a few days of observing the object, he realized that it was not, in fact, the comet, but a nebula (which was later determined to be a galaxy). |

This beautiful nebulae is an everlasting theme to astrophotographer (living in northern hemisphere). I did not use any optical filters (LPS-P2, Ha..etc.) for this image and stacked and processed the image with PixInsight Pro demo version. |

Images captured with CCDSoft, average combine with Deepskystacker and postprocessing with Photoshop elements (curves,levels and unsharp mask). Seeing 5/5; transparency 4/5. |

PhotographerHunter WilsonLocationLexington, OhioDateMay 4, 2010EquipmentSBIG ST-4000XCM, Celestron 9.25 Reduced 0.63, Astro-Physics Mach1GTO MountDescriptionNGC 5371 in Canes Venatici. 10x15 Minutes, Imager Temp -20C, 50% Crop. NGC 5371 is a symmetrical face-on Sbc barred spiral galaxy at a distance of 100 million light years in the constellation Canes Venatici. This galaxy with Hickson 68 makes up the Big Lick Galaxy Group. Notice particularly the multitude of faint, distant galaxies in the background - and there are many, many more than this image shows. |

PhotographerDerek SantiagoLocationMorristown,NJ USADate4/30/10 - 5/6/10EquipmentImaging CCD: QSI 540wsg. Imaging Scope: 10" LX200R Guide camera: SX Lodestar Guide scop: SVR90T Filters: Astrodon 5nm OIII and Ha, LRGBDescriptionThe Cat's Eye is a planetary nebula in the constellation Draco. The bright central core is easily observed in any telescope of moderate aperture. The extended outer halo, which spans more than five light years across, is rarely seen even in long exposure images. This image is a result of a composite of more than 13 hours of both short (1 minute) and long (20 minute) subexposures, which was required to capture the full dynamic range of this very complex nebula. |
