M16, reprocessed
M16, the "Eagle nebula"
Close up.
I did this one again, since I carried away with processing at previous version!
"Less is more" as usually.
I haven't used to process so good data, than the Northern Galactic members telescope delivers.

Original Blog post here, processing looks little heavy handed:
NGC 4945, Finalized
NGC 4945, edge on spiral Galaxy in constellation Centaurus.
I was able to finalize this version, since I now have all the needed calibration images, Dark, Bias and Flat frames. This beautiful, large, edge on galaxy is overlooked, since there is two showpieces at neighborhood, M83 and the Centaurus A.

M20, the "Triffid nebula", Continues
Less compressed version, please, have a look in my Portfolio:
http://astroanarchy.zenfolio.com/p5990174/h388dbd45#h388dbd45
M20, imaged with a Northern Galactic members remote telescope in Australia,
Impressive instrumentation and great location in Souther Australia under a dark Sky, makes possible to go deep in very short time! Image above has only 70min. total exposure time, Luminance is 25 min.
I'll shoot more lights for this later.
