A bright asteroid moved into the field of view when I was taking the sub-images for this object.  I made a quickie composite to show my buddies on the astro-imaging forum I frequent.

Taken in January of 2008.  Reworked in 2016.   A very southern target and hard to get a good window to shoot sub-images.  I managed only 10 shots for this particular imaging session.  At minimum it needs quadruple that, unfortunately.

One of my better M51 images from back in the day.

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.
