Managed to get today’s EPOD with an image of Arcturus – the brightest star in the Northern Celestial Hemisphere. Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work.
Got today’s EPOD (number 97 for me) with an image of Romanesco Broccoli showing its Fractal structure. Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work. http://epod.usra.edu/

Got today’s EPOD with 3 very special stars in a region close to the Crescent Nebula in Cygnus. Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work.
An extremely deep M45 image taken with the Sky 90s and M26C OSC CCDs. Over 25-hours total imaging time using 10, 20, and 30-minute sub-exposures. The image “cleaned-up” beautifully with Noel Carboni’s AstroFlat plugin.
Zoom-In – Single frame original Hyperstar on a C11 with an H9C OSC CCD. Zoom-Out – Single frame Sky 90 with an M25C OSC CCD.
