Shot over 10 nights from my backyard observatory in Fremont MI, using a small 4 inch refractor and monochrome CCD with Red, Green, Blue, Luminance and H-Alpha filters. This target for me is only 22 degrees above my horizon at it's peak making imaging this target fairly difficult and limiting my exposure times to under 2 hours each "clear" night of shooting. Total Exposure time 7.5 hours.

Iris and the Scorpion

This is a three panel mosaic stretching from NGC 7023 (Iris Nebula) to LDN 1148 in the constellation Cepheus. I captured this field over two nights at the Okie-Tex star party near Kenton, OK on Sept 10-11, 2012. The wind became a bit of a challenge, but the dry, dark skies there are wonderful!

Here is Jupiter on the morning of Sept. 13, 2012 as one of its more recently developed anti-cyclones, Oval BA (often referred to as "Red Spot, Jr."), is transiting past the atypically pale, faded GRS ("Great Red Spot") as it does approximately every 2 years. Jupiter's Equatorial Band is also showing an interesting band of color that has been absent for a number of years; and after nearly disappearing last year, the Norther Equatorial Band has returned and grown in a manner that has not been seen for nearly 100 years.

24 image 360 degree mosaic of the Milky Way taken at a dark site in NSW Australia.

There is also some zodiacal light streaming up from the set sun below the horizon and you can see the Large and Small Magellanic clouds.
