The Cat's Eye Nebula, a planetary nebula in Draco. This is a 4 x 8 minute exposure stack with the Canon 7D at ISO 800 and 130mm Astro-Physics refractor at f/6. The field is relatively wide and focal length too short to show much detail on this small object, but the field does simulate what you would see at low power through a telescope. Faint cyan bit at right is a fragment of NGC 6543 and carries number IC 4677. Faint 14th mag galaxy at left is NGC 6552.
NGC 6572, the Turquoise Nebula in Ophiuchus, a planetary only 11 arc seconds across so tiny at this scale with the 130mm f/6 refractor. Taken with the Canon 7D for a stack of 4 x 8 minute exposures at ISO 800.
The pair of large open clusters, NGC 6633 at right in Ophiuchus and IC 4756 at left in Serpens, in a wide-field image simulating the field of binoculars. Taken July 24, 2012, from home with the Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800 and Canon L-series 200mm lens at f/3.5 for a stack of 5 x 3 minute exposures. Also known as the S-O Double Cluster.
