The Pillars of Creation |
Thanks to a few great guys at Astrogab, I now have a very powerful Action Set for Astrophotography. I highly recommend this to any astrophotographer. In light of my new software, I have been going through and re-processing a lot of my photos.

M17 - The Swan Nebula (Re-Processed) |
The weather has been very warm for this time of year, and the skies have been relatively clear lately! Now that I have got a taste of darker skies at the CCCA Observatory, I make the 40 minute trip out there (sometimes by myself... what a loner eh?) just to get some more time invested into my astrophotos. I took the image below of the Eagle Nebula from the observatory on the Friday night before the May Two-Four long weekend. (Cropped version at top of post)
