This is a (4) pane mosaic of the area around Deneb, alpha Cygnus. Panels were taken over multiple nights in july 2016. The mosaic covers roughly 6X10 degrees. The image includes SNR G82.2+5.3, Pelican Nebula, Sadr nebula area, NGC6888 and the Soap Bubble to name a few. North is to the left... Larger...

Sh2-171 and NGC 7822 is a young star forming region in the constellation of Cepheus. The nebula is said to be some 900 pc distant. Some of the younger components of the system are thought to be only a few million years old. Color image combines (4) Narrow band filters with (13) 1200 second exposures...

Here are four early morning comets imaged November 8 2013. Several of the comets are getting more difficult to image as they move easterly and approach the horizon where they are immersed in Zodiacal light and twilight. I inserted a corresponding AllSky image in each comet image. Within each Allsky ...

Attached are four taken the morning of November 3 within hours of each other. Each is a single 6min Exposure using a Sloan Yellow Filter and the 4.5" F/4 astrograph. Image scale is preserved. Linear is 8th mag, Encke is 7.8mag, ISON is 8mag and Lovejoy is 10th mag... I think its amazing there a...

The morning skies this fall are graced with several moderately bright comets. Here are four taken the morning of October 27 within hours of each other from the same site using the same equipment and exposure. http://www.hbastro.com/HBAstro%20Images/Comets/CometsofFall20131027_2700.jpg Comets: Linear...
