A Spiral Galaxy, Bar None! M109 in Ursa Major
Copyright Howard Trottier Hi:
I shot the raw frames for this image of Messier 109 last month, for three consecutive nights, April 20-22 2012, from my Cabin in the Sky Observatory. I used my PlaneWave CDK17, operating with a focal reducer at f/4.5, and riding on a Paramount ME, along with an SBIG STL-4020M camera.
This was my first chance to use my gear since last September, having been frustrated by work, weather, and Moon all this time. This is galaxy season, and I went after M109 because of the big bar that anchors its spiral arms! Is this the best of the barred spirals, for both brightness and the prominence of the bar? Either way, it's a fascinating object.
This is the result of 8 hours of exposure: 240 minutes in luminance (unbinned), and 80 minutes in each of red, green, and blue filters (all binned 2x2). Ten minute subframes were taken in all channels. I actually took just under 12 hours, but intermittent cloud was a bit of a spoiler, and I tossed 4 hours worth. Image capture was done with TheSkyX, MaxIm DL, and FocusMax. Image processing was done with PixInsight and CCDInspector. The field of view is about 27' on a side, and the unbinned pixel size is about 0.78".
Thanks for looking!
Howard.

M97 The Owl Nebula from the heart of England.
Despite the prevalent light pollution, long exposures at a long focal length combine to bring details out within the nebula, and also highlight the very faint outer shell.
Telescope: C9.25 @ f10
Mount: SKywatcher EQ6
Camera: Atik 428ex (binned 2x2)
Filters: Baader Ha & Oiii
Exposures: approx 35x30 minutes each for narrowband filters
Thanks for looking.

Thanks, starsurfer! I'm glad to have both wings available for typing; so much faster than using just one!

Saguaro Blooms and Stars by Radical Retinoscopy, on Flickr
A startrail photograph was taken over a blooming saguaro cactus of the north-western sky over Phoenix, AZ. The composition was made of 110 fifteen second exposures (Canon t2i - Canon 17-40L zoom at 21 mm - ISO 800 - f/5.0) Three exposures were taken at the end using some light painting at f/22 to sharpen the details. Images were stacked using startrails.exe program.
