Several years ago I renewed my interest in astronomy by purchasing a Meade LX90 telescope. I enjoy imaging deep sky objects and maintaining an ongoing journal about them and my processing methods. I hope my enthusiam for my hobby comes through to viewers of this blogsite.

Wow! That is gorgeous. It looks so organic and alive.... well, I guess that is what we are made of, star stuff, right? I think Carl Sagan said that. Anyway, beautiful photo.

Anyway, nice photo.
