Amateur Astrophotography by Don McCrady

April 12, 2008: A new image of Saturn showing how much the rings have closed up is now up in my gallery.

Saturn		The famous ringed planet.
Sunflower Galaxy		The Sunflower Galaxy (M63) has many bright knots in its spiral arms.
M106		Galaxy M106 is surrounded by numerous satellite galaxies.
M35		M35 is a beautiful open cluster in Gemini, and is accompanied by a much older cluster NGC 2158.
Orion Nebula		The Great Orion Nebula is probably the most spectactular showepiece object in the winter sky. It is easily seen as the middle star in Orion's sword, and is a grand sight in telescopes of all sizes. Also visible are M43, and the Running Man Nebula.
