M9 - Globular Cluster
As a globular cluster from the Messier catalogue, M9 is a bit of a tricky target to image at the Northern Hemisphere. From my location it never rises above 34° altitude. Some short bursts of shots were collected over several nights to create this image.
Caldwell 6 - Cat’s Eye Nebula
Caldwell 6 is a beautiful planetary nebula in the northern skies, nicknamed Cat’s Eye Nebula. A particular challenge is to pull out enough detail from the super bright nucleus while still seeing the intricate details of the filaments in this emission nebula.
M5 - Globular Cluster
Globular Clusters are dense concentrations of stars within our own Milky Way galaxy. Messier 5 is a beautiful example of how dense such a cluster can be. Here an image photographed using only RGB broadband filters.
NGC4216 together with NGC4206 and NGC4222
The Virgo cluster allows for some great galaxies to photograph. Here NGC4216 together with its neighbouring galaxies NGC4222 and NGC4206 in an RGB exposure. The second image from the remote observatory, with more han 20h of data collected over four nights.
M95 - First Light Remote Observatory
For the first light image with the new rig from the Remote Observatory, M95 was chosen as the subject. One of the smaller galaxies that should benefit from the large focal length, dark skies and good seeing. Still some aspects to work out, but so far off to a good start.
