M33 - Pinwheel Galaxy in Triangulum:

Imags below were taken with a modified Digital Rebel through Orion ED80 Refractor with Televue .80X Reducer. The ED80 was mounted on an Orion Atlas EQ-G mount. The EQMOD ASCOM driver was used to drive the mount directly via an EQDIR interface module.

Equipment used:

 

Temperature ranged between 40 and 52 degrees Fahrenheit and skies were clear. PHD Guiding software was used for autoguiding. The webcam software WcCtrl was used to enable long exposure modes on the Logitech Fusion webcam while autoguiding.

45 three-minute exposures at ISO 1600 were combined in Images Plus using Sigma Clipped Median. Full Frame Image reduced in size for display.


M52 Open Cluster and NGC 7635 Bubble Nebula:

49 two-minute exposures at ISO 1600 were combined in Images Plus using Sigma Clipped Median. Full Frame Image cropped and reduced in size for display.
