M42 -- Nebula in Orion605 viewsThe Nebula in Orion, M42, with the trapezium at the center. Taken in red, green, blue, and hydrogen alpha (Ha). Processed in Maxim DL, stacked in CCD Stack, color combine and other processing in PixInsight, final touch-up in Photoshop. This data sat on the hard drive for over two years before I got around to processing it.

M45 -- The Pleadies601 viewsM45 - The Pleadies, Maxim DL, Photoshop. This was a particularly difficult image and I am not fully satisfied with the result. The problem is blooms and the great contrast between dark and light. The blooms lead to the small "X" on each bright star.

M101 -- The Pinwheel Galaxy599 viewsM101 / NGC 5457, the Pinwheel Galaxy, a spiral galaxy in Ursa Major. Data acquired and reduced in Maxim DL, aligned and stacked in CCDStack 2, processed in PixInsight, and finished in Photoshop. There is some optical aberration, I think from the focal reducer, that distorts the stars, particularly at the top of the frame.
