Two views of the Ring Nebula M57. This is another planetary nebula and a favorite for visual observing.

The first view is shot with a UV/IR filter and the second is with a duo narrowband filter. More of the faint Ha signal, the outer shell, is visible in the second.

Shot of two separate nights from bortle 9 Skies with the DBS150 #3dprinted Astrograph Newtonian.

Messier 13, The Great globular cluster in the constellation Hercules. This is one of my favorite objects to observe so it's fun to get a nice image of it.

Imaged from my Balcony in Chino Hills with my 3D Printed 6 inch telescope.

The Angle Nebula from the most recent astronomy outing. This is a faint target but very cool with a lot of detail and color. I definitely want to get more time on this target.

M1, The Crab Nebula - a supernova remnant from a star that exploded in 1054 (observed by Chinese astronomers.) This is the first light target with my DIY designed and 3d printed teleacope.
