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.
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.
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.
