A telephoto lens image of the spiral galaxy Messier 106 in Canes Venatici. This is shot to simulate the field of view of binoculars for illustration purposes. The red star, La Superba or Y CVn, is at far left. Below M106 is the companion galaxy NGC 4217. This is a stack of 6 x 1-minute exposures with the 200mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 800, tracked but unguided on the Mach 1 mount, on April 28, 2019.
Markarian's Chain area of the Coma-Virgo galaxy cluster, with M84 and M86 at top and M87 at bottom left. Includes the Eyes, NGC 4435 and 4438. This is a stack of 6 x 5 minute exposures with the 92mm TMB apo refractor and Borg 0.85x reducer/flattener for f/4.5, and Canon 7D at ISO 800. Taken April 24, 2011.
Orange Mars, at centre, between the blue Pleiades (at right) and the large Hyades (at left) star clusters, with orange Aldebaran adorning the Hyades (though it is not a member of the Hyades but a foreground star). The more distant and smaller cluster NGC 1647 is at top left, also in Taurus. This was March 11, 2021. This is a stack of 4 x 4-minute tracked exposures with the Samyang 85mm AF lens at f/2.8 on the Canon EOS Ra at ISO 800, with a single exposure of the same length blended in taken through the Kase/Alyn Wallace StarGlow filter to add the star glows! (Though haze moving in was starting to do the job naturally at this time.) The tracker was the Star Adventurer 2i.
