The so-called “Dark Doodad” dark nebula in Musca, with the adjacent globular clusters, NGC 4372 below and NGC 4833 at left. I shot this from the Tibuc Cottage at Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia on March 31, 2016. This is a stack of 5 x 6-minute exposures with the Borg 77mm f/4 astrograph and filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600.
The Dark Doodad dark nebula in Musca the Fly, near the globular cluster NGC 4372 at lower right. The other globular cluster at upper left is NGC 4833. This is a stack of 5 x 8 minute exposures at f/4.3 with the Borg 77mm astrograph (330mm focal length) and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800. Taken from Coonabarabran, Australia, March 2014.
Delta 1 and 2 Lyrae (at left), a double star in Lyra with the loose open cluster Stephenson 1, plus the double star Zeta Lyrae (at right). This is a stack of 4 x 4 minute exposures with the TMB 92mm apo refractor at f/4.4 with the Borg 0.85x field flattener/reducer and Canon 6D at ISO 800.
