Images taken with UMM 16” telescope, 22 March 2004

(the links will take you to “professional” images of the objects.)

 

    Jupiter

 

      Saturn

 

   Orion Nebula

(the bright blob in the center is the Trapezium)

 

    M3 Globular Cluster

 

    M81 Galaxy  (barred spiral)

 

      Crab Nebula Supernova Remnant

 

      M82 “Exploding” Galaxy (Edge-on) 

(Close to & interacting with M81)

 

      M51 Spiral Galaxy 

(Check out what a 3.7 hr exposure on a 14” telescope can do, in the link!)

 

      Possibly the asteroid Ceres is in here somewhere???

 

 

 

(For the astronomers in the crowd, very little has been done to these images – dark subtraction and ‘futzing’ with contrast only.  These are taken without a filter.)
