This is an image I took on January 27 09 of the Blue Planetary Nebula in the constellation Centaurus, it is a small blue nebula that looks like Neptune. It is in the centre of the image.The Seven Sisters or Pleiades M45
Hello again, I took this image of the Pleiades M45 on January 27 09.Omega Centaruri
Hi to all, This is an image of Omega Centauri that i took on 27 January 09 it is now coming into good view along with the Southern Cross .
Comet Kushida
Comet Kushida taken on January 27 2009, it is going to be in the vicinity of the Hyades star group soon, I hope to image it again then.

Star cluster M13 low on my northern horizion
This is an image of M13 Star cluster that I took, it was very low on my horizon.The Lagoon nebula
Hi, This is an image of the Lagoon nebula, imaged by myself here at the observatory.
The Star Antares
I took this image of Antares July 10 08, Antares (α Scorpii / Alpha Scorpii) is a red supergiant star in the Milky Way galaxy and the sixteenth brightest star in the nighttime sky (sometimes listed as fifteenth brightest, if the two brighter components of the Capella quadruple star system are counted as one star). Along with Aldebaran, Spica, and Regulus it is one of the four brightest stars near the ecliptic. Antares is a variable star, whose apparent magnitude varies from +0.9 to +1.8Monday, January 26, 2009

This is an image i took of Omega Centauri, it orbits our galaxy, the Milky Way. One of the few that can be seen with the naked eye, it is both the brightest and the largest known globular cluster associated with the Milky Way. Omega Centauri is located about 18,300 light-years (5,600 pc) from Earth and contains several million Population II stars. The stars in its center are so crowded that they are believed to be only 0.1 light years away from each other.
Moon taken on night of September 11 08 . The Moon (Latin: Luna) is Earth's only natural satellite and the fifth largest natural satellite in the Solar System.The average centre-to-centre distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 km, about thirty times the diameter of the Earth. The Moon's diameter is 3,474 km,[6] a little more than a quarter of that of the Earth
This is a image I took of the Horsehead Nebula.The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33 in bright nebula IC 434) is a dark nebula in the Orion constellation. The nebula is located just below Alnitak, the star furthest left on Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. It is approximately 1500 light years from Earth. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of the shape of its swirling cloud of dark dust and gases, which is similar to that of a horse's head.
This is an image I took of the Orion Nebula
The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated south[b] of Orion's Belt. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,270±76 light years[2] and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth.
