I don’t know how to describe it. It looks like a happy face to me. A cluster of galaxies in Virgo that includes m86, m85 and numerous others. Four 200 second exposures stacked. Photographed with 8 inch newtonian. — Taken in 2012 in Borrego Springs, CA.

Rosette Nebula

This stacked photo was taken a few months ago using the Celestron EdgeHD 11 in the Fastar F1.9 configuration together with a QSI 583WSG camera in monochrome with an H alpha filter. It is a composite of 15 thirty second images and it was processed and colorized in Photoshop.
