The Pleiades
M45
Total exposure time 12.8 hours. Photographed at my home observatory near Bloomington, In.
The Orion Nebula
M42
An interesting feature of this image is that an 0lll filter was used to bring out the doubly ionized oxygen in the outer reaches of Orion. The use of the 0lll filter is responsible for the electric blue color but should not be confused with the dust surrounding the running man portion of the image at the left which also photographs blue. I have intentions of investigating Oxygen in the core of Orion when the sky will allow for it.
Total exposure time 8 hours. Photographed at my home observatory near Bloomington, In.

The Orion Nebula
M42
This is a hybrid image with luminance detail coming from a digital camera and color coming from a prior film image. Photographed with 2 different telescopes and cameras at my home observatory near Bloomington, In.
Total exposure time 3.5 hours.
The Orion Nebula
Deep Field
This is a hybrid image with luminance detail coming from a digital camera and color coming from a prior film image. Photographed with 2 different telescopes and cameras at my home observatory near Bloomington, In. Building on a previous image, 4 hours of additional hydrogen alpha data were added to make this image.
Total exposure time 7.5 hours.
