The Owl Nebula & M98 Galaxy
This was taken with my Meade SN-8 and a modified Canon 350XT. I have three detail views from this. Here’s a close-up of the Owl Nebula. Here’s the detail view of M98. Finally, I have a detail view of a compact galaxy group called, Hickson 50. Those smudges of light are galaxies that are over 2 billion light-years away!
M64, The Black Eye Galaxy
This image of the Black Eye galaxy was one of my better ones taken with my Celestron C8 that I’ve been having since 1983. It won a contest on the astro forums I frequent back in 2006.
