M33 Triangulum Galaxy

Took this shot with the DSLR (Canon 350d modified) the other night. 16X3min guided, SW254N, EQ5p.

from Wikipedia:
The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy approximately 3 million light years (ly) from Earth in the constellation Triangulum. It is catalogued as Messier 33 or NGC 598, and is sometimes informally referred to as the Pinwheel Galaxy, a nickname it shares with Messier 101. The Triangulum Galaxy is the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way Galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy and about 30 other smaller galaxies. It is one of the most distant permanent objects that can be viewed with the naked eye.

IC1795

IC1795
I've been attempting longer exposures and was able to get great guiding last night, so thought I would try this target. It's very faint so was pretty happy with the results.

20 each 6 minute images ISO800. SW254N, EQ5p, guided, Canon 350d modified.

from Atlas of the Universe:

The Nebulae associated with the Heart and Soul Nebulae

IC 1795 is a bright nebula attached to the right side of IC 1805. NGC 896 simply seems to refer to the brightest part of IC 1795.

M32

I've been on a 'messier marathon' of sorts lately. Lots of short (30 second) exposures to capture as many Messier objects as I can. (up to 50 now!) Anyway, one of the ones I shot the other night came out kinda neat. I took 3 minute images of this one to try to overwhelm the Andromeda galaxy as M32 is on the edge of M31 (Andromeda). Here are the results.
