My most recent images taken at the 2006 Texas Star Party at Ft. Davis Texas.

 

 

M1 - Crab Nebula.  Shot this one close to the western horizon and it still came out OK.

 

 

 

 

M13 - Hercules Globular Cluster.  One of my favorite star clusters.

 

 

 

 

M17 - Swan Nebula.  Taken on a very windy night so not many good images. 

 

 

 

 

M40 - Double star in Ursa Major, the Big Dipper. 

 

 

 

 

M51 - Whirlpool galaxy. 

 

 

 

 

M81 - not many good images since it was very windy.

 

 

 

 

M82 - interesting galaxy.

 

 

 

 

M92 - Nice globular cluster found near M13.

 

 

 

 

M97 - Owl nebula.  Kinda looks like an owl.

 

 

 

 

M101 - tough to image due to wind and not very bright object.

 

 

 

 

M104 - Sombrero galaxy.

 

 

 

 

Ghost of Jupiter - a cool blue nebula. 

 

 

 

 

 

Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 - this is the brightest of the many fragment. 

 

 

 

 

Antaries - nice bright red star in Scorpius.

 

 

 

 

Stargate -

 

 

 

 

Jupiter - looks OK but think I can get a better shot next time.

 

 

 

 

Pluto - never could find this guy so will try again.  Lots of stars.......
