The nebulas of Orion in the Belt and Sword of Orion area. Including M42, Orion Nebula (lower centre), Barnard's Loop (at left), M78 at upper left (small reflection nebula), Horsehead Nebula (above centre) and NGC 2024 (above Horsehead). There is faint reflection nebulosity at right -- the frame does not extend right far enough to show the Witchhead Nebula near Rigel. This is a stack of 5 x 4 minute exposures at f/2.8 with the Canon 135mm L series lens and filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 640. One exposure had soft stars from high altitude haze which added the glows around stars naturally. Shot from Coonabarabran, Australia, December 13/14, 2012. - Alan Dyer's "Amazing Sky" Photography at SmugMug

Clusters in Cassiopeia: upper left: NGC 654; middle left: NGC 663; lower left: NGC 659; lower right: M103.

$M104, the Sombrero Galaxy, in Virgo. Taken April 23, 2012 on a hazy night with M104 low in altitude from my home location. This is a stack of six 8-minute exposures at f/6 with the 130mm Astro-Physics apo refractor and the Canon 7D at ISO 800. Median combined to eliminate satellite trails and dust spots.$

$M105 with NGC 3371 (left) and NGC 3373 (below), a galaxy triplet in Leo. Taken from home, with the 130mm AP apo refractor at f/6 and Canon 7D at ISO 800 for a stack of 5 x 8 minute exposures, the last in moonlight after moonrise.$

Stack of four 10-minute exposures with Canon 20Da at ISO400 and with 5-inch AP scope at f/4.5. Taken April 24.

$M109, spiral galaxy in Ursa Major, off the bright Bowl star of the Big Dipper, Gamma Ursa Majoris, aka Phecda. This is a stack of 4 x 10 minute exposures at ISO 800 with the Canon 60Da on the Astro-Physics 130mm apo refractor at f/6.$

Stack of two 16-minute exposures with Canon 20Da at ISO400 and with 4-inch AP scope at f/6 with 6x7 field flattener. Taken April 18.

$Markarian's Chain area of the Coma-Virgo galaxy cluster, with M84 and M86 at top and M87 at bottom left. Includes the Eyes, NGC 4435 and 4438. This is a stack of 6 x 5 minute exposures with the 92mm TMB apo refractor and Borg 0.85x reducer/flattener for f/4.5, and Canon 7D at ISO 800. Taken April 24, 2011.$

The nebulas of Orion in the Belt and Sword of Orion area. Including M42, Orion Nebula 9below centre), Barnard's Loop (at left), M78 (small reflection nebula above centre), Horsehead Nebula (centre) and NGC 2024 (above Horsehead). There is faint reflection nebulosity at right -- the frame does not extend right far enough to show the Witchhead Nebula near Rigel.
This is a stack of 10 x 7 minute exposures at f/2.8 with the Canon 135mm L series lens and filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 640. One exposure had soft stars from high altitude haze which added the glows around stars naturally. Shot from Coonabarabran, Australia, December 14/15, 2012. This is a better version than #1 shot the night before under some haze and cloud.
