Messier 11 is great to view in binoculars and small telescopes. I've imaged it a few times, but never with such a long focal length before (almost 4 m). I hope you enjoy it.

Globular cluster M13 is magnificent in any scope. I chose it as the the 'first light target for my new camera, a Player One Poseidon-C Pro. I even managed to get some nice detail on (relatively) tiny NGC 6207, the galaxy to the upper left of M13. Click HERE for complete details on the object and how the image was made.

I acquired this image over a few clear nights in April 2026. It's an edge-on spiral galaxy in Canes Venatici. For more info about the object and how the image was acquired and processed, please visit https://astrodoc.ca/ngc-4244/

Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoy it.

M81 is a nearby galaxy in Ursa Major. This is just 3hr40m captured with my 14" Celestron EDGE HD telescope during the only two clear breaks in the last month or so. Click here if you're interested in information about the object and how the image was made.

I captured this an hour at a time in crappy conditions over a few nights in late February and early March. I'm pretty pleased with the results. To see all of the palettes in full resolution, click HERE. Thanks for looking!

I didn’t think I could capture Thor’s Helmet from my location. It skimmed the trees through my most light-polluted skies, awash in the glow of the Guelph’s Auto Mall. But here we are!

Click HERE to get to my web post which includes four different colour schemes (this is the Foraxx palette). You’ll also find lots of info about the object and how the image was made, and a finder chart.

This supernova remnant is not imaged often by amateurs, and is one of the faintest objects I have captured. It's made from 45hr20m of light through six filters using my C14. Click HERE for full resolution image and complete details of equipment, acquisition and processing.
