M13 or The Great Hercules Cluster is the most well-known globular cluster in the universe. I like it so much, this was my 3rd time doing it!
Shooting Pleiades in Light Pollution
I shoot in light polluted skies outside New York City and although the Pleiades stars are bright, capturing its accompanying dust and reflection nebula is a challenge.
M5
Over 13 billion years old and 25,000 light years away, M5 is one of the oldest astronomy objects in our universe.
The Hercules Cluster
The Hercules Cluster was the first astrophotography target I fell in love with. I finally got the right equipment to shoot it properly a year later.
M81 and M82
M81, otherwise known as Bode’s Galaxy (right) and M82 otherwise known as Cigar Galaxy (left), are two galaxies in the Ursa Major constellation (home of the Big Dipper), located approximately 12 million light-years away from Earth.

The Horsehead and Flame Nebula
The Horsehead and Flame Nebula is a classic winter target and one of the most beautiful targets in astrophotography. I took this on my Redcat 51 with an ASI533MM mono camera which I believe framed this target perfectly.
