Kissimmee Prairie State Park 2014
Here are 3 images I took while camping this week in Kissimmee Praire. Overall we had some really good weather.
Sculptor Galaxy, NGC 253 or the Silver Coin Galaxy
The Sculptor Galaxy, also known as the Silver Coin or Silver Dollar Galaxy, NGC 253, is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. I imaged this one over 3 nights and have about 4 hours on it, LRGB. Taken with my Vixen VC200L, a 200mm (8 inch) f9.0 well-corrected cat.
NGC 957
Open Cluster, in Perseus constellation NGC 957 was take while waiting for another target to rise. $0 minutes LRGB taken with my Tak 106ED
NGC 7380 (also known as the Wizard Nebula)
NGC 7380 (also known as the Wizard Nebula) is an open cluster discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1787. William Herschel included his sister's discovery in his catalog, and labelled it H VIII.77. It is also known as 142 in the 1959 Sharpless catalog (Sh2-142). This reasonably large nebula is located in Cepheus. This was also taken with the TAK 106ED and is about 3 hours LRGB
