Astrophotography Gallery

This is a sample of my astrophotography work.  The images are organized by acquisition date so going further down the list is going back in my imaging history.  You can see the progression to starting out with a Point & Shoot camera afocal through an eyepiece, through my first monochrome images to where I started adding filters.  If you would like a print of any of these images, please let me know.
