Job 9:9

Job 9:9-10
9 He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion,
the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
10 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed,
miracles that cannot be counted.

September, 2014 Images

Its been a long time, but now that the nights are getting longer and getting dark earlier, I now have the time to image the sky.  On 9/5 I did a composite of the moon using 15 individual videos and stitched the segments together to get an image of the entire visible moon.

 Then took a few closeups... Crater Copernicus.



Schiller to Clavius 


Tycho


The Iris Nebula (NGC 2023) was imaged on 9/13.  Here is a full frame and a cropped closeup.



9/16.  Albiero, probably the prettiest double in the northern hemisphere....


NGC 6946, the Fireworks Galaxy.  This one is always a difficult one for me due to light pollution.


On 9/23, I got the CCD out and imaged  the Deer Lick Galaxy Group in LRGB.



9/24 it was the Cocoon Nebula's turn, but this one was shot using the Hα filter.

Then on 9/29, I imaged NGC 6939 and M15.   I also imaged the Fireworks Galaxy again, but the transparency wasnt as good as earlier in the month, so I wont duplicate it here.


and finally, M15.
