M31 The Andromeda Galaxy. Taken at the Golden State Star Party.

I'm a 16 year old astrophotographer. This was my second attempt at this target. A goal of mine was to try to find all the globular cluster orbiting M31. See if you can find them

Our Goal was to show the Gravitational Lensing in this Cluster of Galaxies with our relatively small Setup. The Picture was taken with a 14" Newton with a focal ratio of 3,85 in our Remote Observatory in Nerpio, Spain from 19.05 - 22.06.2014. Total Exposure was about 36 Hours...

M101http://nutwood.smugmug.com/AstronomyDar ... &lb=1&s=X3
images obtained over the last few weeks here by myself at the Nutwood Observatory just south of Bancroft.
Taken with a 17 inch truss scope, using an un binned U16M ccd chip camera for all images. Filters were Astrodon filters including HA and regular sets. Total acquisition for this image was around 14 hrs. Guiding and tracking done with a 80mm Borg with Galactic star shoot guider.
Image acquisition was done remotely and used MaxIm, Pixinsight along with various PS C5 fits plug ins. Final processing was performed with PS CS5.

A full sky panorama featuring the Milky Way plane, twin 6.5m Magellan telescopes (Baade on the left and Clay on the right), a faint band of light along the ecliptic and a colourful airglow. Taken at the Las Campanas observatory in Chile on the Summer solstice night (20-21/Jun/2014) with a 35mm lens. This is a mosaic of 28 fields stacked from 84 individual exposures, 6-sec long each. With the magnitude limit of about 12, the full resolution version of this picture includes several million stars and thousands of galaxies.

Milky Way over the spain fortification of "Batería de Castillitos". This is part of the historical and cultural heritage of our country and our region of Murcia. It's located in Cartagena, Murcia - Spain. One of the most beautiful fortress and place in our province.

This is a fabulous object in the Southern skies. The remnants of a Supernova. Nearby are the Gum Nebulas.
