 Image Gallery

Below are some recent images from the main telescope and the Apogee U6 CCD imager. The images below are NOT representative of what can be seen through the EYEPIECE of the telescope. They are the result of timed exposures when light is essentually collected in the "light bucket" of the CCD. Each image below is a combination of at least four (and in some cases 16) exposures of 1 to 4 minutes in duration. The multiple images are then added together to produce what you see below.
