Rosette Nebula Widefield
I took this narrowband image (SII/Ha/OIII mapped to RGB) with an SBIG STF-8300M and an old Takumar SMC 135mm f/3.5 lens stopped down to f/5.6. It is 9hrs total exposure (3hrs per channel). This was a test of my commitment since it was imaged over about 4 weeks, mostly in sub zero temperatures.

The Moon in the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic

The waxing moon from March 7th 2014 over the Castle of Neuschwanstein, Bavaria. The moon was positioned in
the open Cluster of the Hyades and Close to the Pleiades. This is called the "Golden Gate of the Ecliptic" in german
language. The artificial illumination of the Castle is much too bright. And a lot of light and energy is wasted since
much light is passing by the Castle into the night sky without any illumination effect.

Hi
This is a very short overall exposure time of M42 mapped to the HST palette, it is a total of 1 hour per filter in 5 minute sub frames taken through Ha, OIII and SII filters with a prototype Televue NP127is/FLI-PL16803 imaging system from my back garden in Hereford UK

Hi
This is a HST palette image of IC443 - Jellyfish Nebula and surrounding nebula, also PNe Howell-Crisp 1 can be seen in the same field. This was taken over several nights with a total of over 12 hours exposure time in 10 minute sub frames with a Televue NP127is/FLI prototype imaging system that I have been testing. It was taken from my back garden in Hereford UK
