PhotographerFlorencio RodilLocationQueretaro, MexicoDateHa 11/01/2007, OIII and SII 11/02/2007EquipmentTelescope: orion 80ED Camera: Atik 16HR Filters: Baader Ha, OIII and SII. Mount: Losmandy G11DescriptionRosette nebula in constellation Monoceros (magnitude 6, 80 arcminutes). In the center of the nebula lies the young (4 million years old) open cluster NGC2244. The intense ultraviolet light from the cluster's brightest stars are opening a hole around them, and they could eventually cause the dissipation of the entire nebula. |

PhotographerJared WillsonLocationOakland, CADateNovember 10, 2007EquipmentWilliam Optics FLT-110 APO @ f/6.5 (TEC) Losmandy GM-8 Mount SBIG STL-11000 with Astrodon LRG&B filtersDescriptionThe Andromeda Galaxy is a favorite of imagers due to its image scale and obvious structure. This image highlights what is possible with CCD cameras under even the most light polluted skies as it was captured with minimal exposure time from within the city limits of Oakland, CA. 9 minutes luminosity, 3 minutes each RG&B. Captured and calibrated in MaximDL; post processed in Photoshop CS2. |

PhotographerBruce KarbalLocationMt Carroll, IllinoisDateNovember 7, 2007 midnightEquipmentThis was my second shot taken with new stock Canon 40 D camera and Canon 300 mm F 2.8 Image Stabilized lensDescriptionThis is a wide field shot of Sadr, the center star in Cygnus showing many deep sky splendors. Easily visible, are Vandenberg 31 and 32...blue reflection nebulae that were easily captured by the Canon, as were some dark nebulae B343 NGC 6914, and IC 1318. Clearly, the latest DSLR from Canon is approaching cooled CCD camera image quality |
