Southern Hemisphere/Remote Images

Remote Images taken by renting usage time on telescopes located in the southern hemisphere. Remote Imaging gives me the ability to image items that would never be seen in my regular northern hemisphere skies.

M20 The Trifid Nebula

One of my favorite images I have ever taken. Although it is also present in our northern skies I couldnt resist remotely imaging this nebula with a huge 27" astrograph at Siding Spring Observatory located in NSW Australia. The Trifid Nebula is an H II region located in Sagittarius. Its name means 'divided into three lobes'. The object is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars; an emission nebula (the lower, red portion), a reflection nebula (the upper, blue portion) and a dark nebula (the apparent 'gaps' within the emission nebula that cause the trifurcated appearance.
