This may get trashed in the transfer, but the original image has over a dozen galaxies. M87 is the large elliptical just right of center. North is up. Four 30 s frames stacked using Iris. If you click on the image you get a slightly larger less blocky looking version of the photo. The original image showed the galaxies in the Markarian chain about half way up on the right near M86. M86 is just on the right edge of this frame and nearly cut out.

A wider field view, slightly earlier to the larger image. 

Jupiter- April 24, 2005 note the satellites and the shadow. The upper moon is almost completely off frame at top right. 

Jupiter - April 23, 2005 

Jupiter - April 23, 2005. I seem to reaching limits of resolution here below what I'd expect from the telescope, but the seeing has been poor and focusing has been difficult. The collimation of the telescope seems ok. These were taken with a Criterion barlow from the 70's I happened to have in the junk box, so I may try a better barlow.

Grimaldi 

Saturn - with barlow. 

Jupiter, April 22, 2005. The weather is incredibly clear after a front. But there is a lot of wind making the barlow hard to use. 

Jupiter, April 21. I had real focus/seeing problems later, this is the best image I could get. 

Aristarchus, Herodotus, and Schroter's valley on the terminator. 

The floor of Plato. The rille to the east of plato (upper right here) is more visible than in the earlier photo of Plato and the Alpine valley. 

Jupiter w/2x barlow in color and flat fielded. The seeing has been poor, but some hazy clouds moved in and steadied the seeing down around 11pm. 

Close up of rilles south of Bullialdus 

region near Bullialdus 

Gassendi w/2x Barlow 

April 19, 2005 - near midnight w/ 2x barlow. This time I did some flat fielding. 

Alpine Valley, Plato, and Teneriffe Mountains. 

Copernicus 

Moon, April 16, 2005--Bullialdus at top left and Rima Hesiodus diagonal from lower right upwards. Kies is the flooded crater near center with the small dome to the south.

Straight wall and Birt 

Tycho with 2x Barlow 

Plato using 2x Barlow. Note the small craters on the floor of Plato. 

Tycho and Clavius 

Here is a wider view, without the barlow lens. 

around midnight April 17, trying a cheap 2x barlow. Diagonal mark is artifact of dust on ccd trailing across planet. Will try flat fielding tomorrow.
