  • M31 The Andromeda Galaxy.  At 2.5 million light years from us, this is the closest spiral galaxy to our own.  It appears as wide as 6 full moons in the sky, so it is quite large.  The center of M31 is visible with the naked eye under good seeing conditions. 

This was shot from Vanderpool, TX on November 28, 2011 with a new moon. The temperatures were in the mid 30's.
This was shot with the Hap Griffin Modified Canon 5D markii and Takahashi FSQ106edxii at F5 on the AP1200.

  • M82 M81 were the main targets.  These are about 12 million light years from and they are slowly pulling on each other. 
I shot this on 2/24/12 from Adamsville, TX at the Bucksnort Observatory.  Air was clean and temps were in the low 30's.  Many thanks for the invitation.
