M57 The Ring Nebula
07/15/2006 12"SCT @ f/10 , ST-10XME. (2 min x
41). Two iterations of L-R deconvolution (sharpening) algorithm using
CCDsharp were applied to the luminance image. Digital Development (DDP)
via Maxim/DL was also used in order to display the the very dim and very
bright details of the image simultaneously. |

M76 The Little Dumbbell
09/05/2005 12" LX200 @f/6.3, MI250, ST-10XME.
LRGB (35, 10, 10, 10). Processed in Maxim DL/CCD
4 and Photoshop CS. Located in Perseus, this planetary nebula was
discovered in 1780 by Pierre Mechain. It's distance from Earth is very
uncertain, with estimates ranging between 1,700 and 15,000 light years.
The prominent "wings" are expanding at the rate of some 42 km/sec. |

(5:5:5), binned 2x2. Processed in Maxim DL/CCD 4, Photoshop CS and Neat
Image. This is probably the northern hemisphere's best known planetary
nebula. Located in Lyra, the exact distance to M57 is unknown, but
current best estimates put it at approximately 2,300 light years away
from Earth. Note the small, barred spiral galaxy, IC 1296, to the lower
left of M57. |

Abell 36 03-14-2004 20" RC @ f/8.4, Paramount ME, ST-10XME,
AO-7, National Observatory, Kitt Peak, Arizona. LRGB combined as
follows: 105 min. L binned 1x1, 20 min. R, G and B, each binned 3x3 to
try and draw out the color of the nebula. Processed to show the new
asteroid discovered while imaging this object. This asteroid has been
assigned a temporary MPC designation of 4KITT0.
