Great fall imaging target – M33

Fall Target – M33
A recent image of M33, (the Triangulum Galaxy) 20 minutes long taken 8-3-16 at Sandlot . It’s a great target for fall observing. It’s over 1/2 degree wide and has a multitude of obvious nebulae. (Enhanced more so in a a color image.) It’s a relatively close-by galaxy at a distance of 3 million Lt. Yrs.

Recent Bright Comet

Just a quick image of a recently bright comet C/2009 P1
(Garradd). The image was taken just before dawn 7-10-11 and is a compilation of 5 – 60 sec frames. No filter. The 22″ and STL1001E camera was used and it was traveling 1.37″/minute to the northwest. ( Thus the ‘drifted stars)..
cheers,
