This is a recently discovered Supernova that I calculate is currently at magnitude 14.5. It is a crop of a 200 second exposure taken with a QSI 583wsg camera and the C11 Edge HD.
Below is an inverted view.

Panstaars C/2012 K1 (Update)
This is the latest photo of this comet. It was imaged using a Hyperstar lens at F2 on a Celestron C11 Edge HD with a Starlight Xpress H9C color camera. The best of 90 images were stacked using Maxim DL and then the image was processed further in Photoshop CS6. The individual exposures ranged between 30 and 300 seconds.
Colliding Galaxies – Siamese Twins – NGC 4567 and 4568
Ten 5 minute LRGB sub exposures stacked in Maxim DL6 and processed in Photoshop CS6. A Celestron 11 EdgeHD SCT telescope at F7 was used to acquire images with a QSI583wsg camera.
M13 – Great Hercules Cluster
“M13 is generally considered the finest globular cluster in the northern skies, mainly because it is visible to the naked eye in a well-known grouping of stars that sails high overhead in the summer sky. It is a swollen mass teaming with perhaps 300,000 to a half-million suns spread across 140 light years or more.”

“Deep-Sky Companions – The Messier Objects”
M13 was taken in monochrome with a Luminosity Filter. The best two of five 120 second photos were stacked. The Telescope was the Celestron C11 EdgeHD at F7 and the camera was a QSI 583wsg. Processed in Photoshop CS6 and Maxim DL.
