Sometimes when life is a bit chaotic as it has been this last past few weeks, it is a pleasure just to stand back, look into the heavens, and see an old friend. Here is an old friend from one of The Imaging Source’s Premier Resellers in the Midwest, US, Rider’s Hobby Shop.
Profjohn,
Attached images were taken with the DMK 41AU04.AS, big camera. The seeing conditions were very average at best and I continue to be amazed at how well the DMK’s can “beat” the seeing! The widefield shot is at f/10, the Vallis Alpes image closeup at f/25 using a Celestron 235mmSCT.
Regards,

Discovered by Antoine Darquier de Pellepoix in 1779, the famous ring nebula Messier 57 (M57, NGC 6720) is often regarded as the prototype of a planetary nebula, and a showpiece in the northern hemisphere summer sky.
Peter Schluck, an imager from Germany has been gracious enough to send us his capture of the stunning planet sized, white dwarf, star and surrounding hydrogen mix. Recorded with his DMK 21AU04.AS from The Imaging Source and a 17.5 inch f4.5 Newtonian reflector, Mr. Schluck stacked 300 images to complete his final picture.
Exquisite Peter! Please keep them coming!
