A photo of the "Lagoon Nebula", in Sagittarius, photographed from St. John's in June 15, 2009 by David Caruk. Lagoon Nebula (M-8) in Sagittarius is 9 images at 20 seconds each combined with Registax 5 and processed with Microsoft Image Editor and PhotoShop Elements. An LPR and Hot Mirror Filter(Minus InfraRed) were used. I have removed the IR filter inside the Nikon D70 giving it at least 5 times faster exposure of H-Alpha light. I have sent a wide field full view image and a Higher resolution image for zooming into. Camers is a Nikon D70 6 megapixel SLR attached to my Pacific Optical 450mm f 3.5 Aerial Camera Lens..

A photo of the "M22", in Sagittarius, photographed from St. John's in June 15, 2009 by David Caruk. M-22 globular cluster in Sagittarius. This is the second brightest globular cluster that is visable from the northern hemisphere. The brightest is M-13. Visually it is very difficult to see from the city because it is much lower on the horizon than M-13. This image is 6x20 second exposures stacked with registax 5. The same equipment as above was used. Click image for full original photo.
