M42 Orion nebula by Gerry Aarts2134 viewsMy second attempt at processing this image achieved more detailed nebulosity then the first image posted earlier. Some 1270 light-years distant and 24 light-years wide. Imaged from my back yard in Cranebrook, a fringe Sydney suburb. Celestron GPS11 in altazimuth mode, Hyperstar f1.8 lens, Meade DSI III camera. 40 x 15 seconds (8 minutes) total exposures.gerry aarts

Helix Nebula by Gerry Aarts640 viewsThe Helix Nebula sometimes refered to s as the "Eye of God. Called a planetary nebula (nothing to do with planets), early astronomers thought they looked like planets. This is a supernova remnant, an ever expanding buble of gas from an exploded star. About 650 light-years distant this is one of the closest planetary nebula from earth. A combination of 20 x 15 seconds exposures. Image obtained at observing site , Linden Observatory 16th Septembert 2007. Celestron GPS11 telescope with Hyperstar f1.8 lens, Meade DSIc. 20 x 30 seconds exposures.gerry aarts

Horsehead Nebula by Gerry Aarts543 viewsA notoriously difficult object to view or image. The horsehead Nebula detail can best be extracted by using long exposure astrophotography and Photoshop processing techniques. Approximatly 1500 light-years distant and 3.5 light-years wide. Image taken at our obseving site at Linden Observatory in the Blue Mountains on 18th October 2007. Celestron GPS11 with Hyperstar f1.8 lens. Meade DSIc camera, 40 x 30 seconds exposures. gerry aarts

Horsehead and Flame498 viewsThe Horsehead and Flame nebulas are located in the constellation of Orion.
Orion is a wonderful region for the astro imager, with many spectacular and challenging objects. This image is a stack of 6x10-minute subs captured in late September from a dark sky site.

Tarantula Nebula NGC2070498 viewsTha Tarantula Nebula is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, Constallation Dorado, visible in the southern sky during summer.
I posted an image of the 'spider' earlier this year, it is interesting to see the difference in the 2 images resulting from a new scope and camera, as well as experince and valuable advice given by fellow enthusiasts. Thank you all.

M20 Trifid Nebula by Gerry Aarts362 viewsOne of my better nebulae images from Linden Observatory 04/05/2008. Distance estimated at 5200 lightyears. Red emmission nebula and blue reflection nebula shows a wonderful contrast. The star colours are also amazing, a myriad beautiful yellow and blue stars reveal themselves in this image. 9x30 seconds combined images. Celestron GPS11 with f1.8 Hyperstar lens, Meade DSI III camera.gerry aarts

M8 at wiruna SPSP295 viewsOne i decided to take... Its not the best but i had a go..
I used the same equipment, my
Newtonian 10" F/5.6, My Meade DSI colour CCD, Exp 15sec X 30 LRGB in FITS,
I think its ok for an amateur like me with what i have..claudevandamme25
