| Attached are narrow-band images I
took of M8 and M16. Sulfur II, Hydrogen-alpha and oxygen III were assigned to RGB respectively. Hydrogen-alpha was used as luminance. The images were taken with a Takahashi FSQ 106 and SBIG ST-8XE. NGC4565 and M92 were taken with a celestron C-11 and f /6.3 reducer-corrector. All images were taken in the Richmond/Houston area. |

took of part of the Seagull Nebula, Orion Nebula core and a
Monochrome image of M3. Sulfur II, Hydrogen-alpha and oxygen III were assigned to RGB respectively for the Orion Nebula core. Hydrogen-alpha, Oxygen III and Sulfur II were assigned to RGB respectively for the Seagull Nebula. Hydrogen-alpha was used as Luminance for both images. The Seagull Nebula images were taken with a Takahashi FSQ 106 and SBIG ST-8E. The Orion Nebula core and M3 were taken with a celestron C-11 and f 6.3 reducer-corrector. |
| Attached are narrow band images I
took of the california and rosette nebula. The exposure times for each filter ranged 2-3.5 hours with 40 minute sub exposures. Sulfur II, Hydrogen-alpha and oxygen III were assigned to RGB respectively for the rosette nebula. Hydrogen-alpha, oxygen III and Sulfur II were assigned to RGB respectively for the california nebula. Hydrogen-alpha was used as luminance for both images. The images were taken from my Houston backyard with a Takahashi FSQ 106 and SBIG ST-8E. |
| Attached are narrow band images I took of
the M 42 , NGC 281 and NGC 2174. The exposure times for each filter ranged 2-2.5 hours with 15-40 minute sub exposures. Sulfur II, Hydrogen-alpha and oxygen III were assigned to RGB respectively. IC 110 is Hydrogen -alpha only. The images were taken from my Houston backyard with a Takahashi FSQ 106 and ST-8E. |
| Attached are narrow band images I took of
the North America, butterfly and pelican nebulas. The exposure times for each filter ranged 2-2.5 hours with 30-40 minute sub exposures. Sulfur II, H-alpha and oxygen III were asigned to RGB respectively. The images were taken from my Houston backyard. |

| Here are three CCD images I took over the
last month or so. The images; Veil-west, North America Nebula (great wall area) and the Bubble Nebula (M52 lower right), were taken with an H-alpha filter using exposure times of 120-160 minutes. I used a Takahashi FSQ106 and a SBIG ST-8E camera. |
| The Pickering Triangle (part of the Veil
Nebula) was taken through an H-alpha filter with a 160 minute exposure (20min sub exposures). M8 is a combination of H-alpha, RGB. H-alpha 140 minutes, RGB 40 minutes each (20 minute sub exposures). I used a Takahashi FSQ106 and a SBIG ST-8E camera. |
| Here are four more ccd images I took over
the last month or so. The images M17 and M16 were taken from my Richmond backyard with an H-alpha filter. NGC6888 and M8 were taken at Wimberly, TX (Starry Nights Bed and Breakfast) with H-alpha as well. I used a Takahashi FSQ106 and a SBIG ST-8E camera. |
| Here are two more ccd images. The veil was
taken from my Richmond backyard with an H-alpha filter. The Trifid was taken at Wimberly, TX (Starry Nights Bed and Breakfast) with H-alpha as well. I used a Takahashi FSQ106 and a SBIG ST-8E camera. |
| Here are four CCD images I took over the
last month or so. The images NGC 2174 (monkey head nebula) and IC 405 (flaming star nebula) were taken from my Richmond back yard with an H-alpha filter. M4 and M42 (color) was taken at the Columbus site. M42 is an H-alpha+R,G,B composite. I used a Takahashi FSQ106 and a SBIG ST-8E camera. |

Here are three CCD images I took over the last two months. The images M42, NGC 2264 and the Horsehead were taken from my Richmond back yard with an H-alpha filter. I used a Takahashi FSQ106 and a SBIG ST-8E camera. |

Here are some the ccd images I took on Monday, October 11. The images, M33, NGC 253 and the Double Cluster, were taken at the HAS Columbus site. I used a Takahashi FSQ106 and a SBIG ST-8E camera. |
