    Presenting images of interesting astronomical subjects obtained with modest, commercially available telescopes and CCD cameras that are optimized for taking long exposures of low light-level subjects. Many separate exposures through optical filters are digitally combined and stretched to create full color pictures.

    Earlier images, near the page bottom, were exposed from suburban, San Jose, California location through moderately high light pollution with a 12-inch Dall-Kirkham cassegrain telescope.

    Many images were produced through the remotely controlled half-meter Ritchey-Chretien telescope at the Blackbird Observatory I and II. The southern hemisphere images were also acquired from a remotely operated observatory located near Melbourne, Australia with a 12-inch itchey-Chretien telescope. A few pictures, noted as NOAO, were acquired with the 20-inch Ritchey-Chretien telescope at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory Visitor’s Center on Kitt Peak, Arizona.

    Recent images were obtained with a 107mm APO Astrograph and a 26 mega-pixel color camera under bright Bortle 6 light polluted skies. Fortunately, hardware and software advances over the past few years have made it possible to remove the impact of artificial lights from the final image.
