Deep Space Images

The images presented on this page are thumbnail representations of deep space objects that I have captured. Most of the images were taken using my SBIG ST-8XME monochrome camera. Color images were created by shooting frames through Astrodon Series-E Red, Green, and Blue filters housed in the SBIG CFW-10 color filter wheel which sits on the front of the ST-8 camera. The images are catagorized by Galaxy Images, Nebula Images, and Cluster Images. Click on one of the underlined links below to jump to a particular catagory of images. Then, by clicking on any thumbnail image, your browser will be redirected to a web page containing expanded shots of the thumbnail image along with detailed shot information.
