From my last trip to Cherry Springs, wringing out the bugs in my EOS lens adapter for my QSI CCD camera. A view towards the center of our galaxy in the Sagittarius region. Visible among the star clouds the “Great Rift” in Sagittarius, Messier Objects M16 (Eagle Nebula), M17(Swan or Omega Nebula), M25, M23, M20(Trifid Nebula), M22 and M8(Lagoon Nebula) among others. Also a little late in the season as the tree line is visible in the lower right hand corner. Canon EOS-S 17-55 2.8 at about 35mm @F4 QSI 583ws Baader LRGB filters. Lodestar guide camera on a WO ZS80, Skywatcher HEQ-5 mount. RGB 20 x 2 minutes each unbinned. Aquired in Astroart, stacked, dark frames applied in DSS and processed in Adobe Photoshop

M51 The Whirlpool Galaxy in the Canes Venatici , estimated to be 23 million light-years distant. The spiral structure is believed to be the result of the close interaction between it and its companion galaxy NGC5195 The red knots visible in the spiral arms are star birth or HII regions. Taken the nights of June 10 and 11, 2016 from Highland Lakes, New Jersey Celestron C8 with Starizona reducer/corrector @f7.5 (1500mm EFL) Celestron CGE mount, guided off-axis, Starlight Xpress lodestar with PHD Guiding QSI 583wsg with Baader filters L(Ha) R(Ha)GB Luminance 30 x 5 minutes RGB 10 x 4 minutes each H-alpha 36 x 10 minutes each All subs binned 2x2 Acquired in Astroart, PHD Guiding for guiding.

Keywords Keeping up the tradition, I present now 9 years of imaging Saturn at opposition, displaying the Seeliger Effect or Opposition surge well. The rings appear much whiter and brighter when at opposition due either to coherent backscatter, or ring particle 's
Theses are representative of the images I took that night. The individual Red, Green and Blue channels are averaged to give RGB color (note how BAD the blue is due to the atmosphere, Saturn is unfavorably low south of the ecliptic this year). The luminance is provided by using an image taken with an IR pass filter (passes only near IR light with wavelength above 725nm)
