My captures of Charles Messier's famous collection of 101 "faint fuzzy" objects that hampered his observations of comets. After many nights of looking for comets and finding numerous objects that "looked" like comets, he decided to catalog these comet look alikes, to exclude them from his searches.

Last night I joined a couple of dozen Black River Astronomical Society Members at The Nielsen Observatory to view the upcoming Camelopardalids Meteor Shower. Between the hours of 22:30-Midnight we collectively saw 15 Camelopardalids and 6 Sporadics. After midnight we never saw another meteor, but my camera captured two Camelopardalids and one sporadic between the hours of 2 and 4am. All images in this album shot with a Canon 60Da AstroCamera with a Samyung 8mm fisheye lens.

The Great Perseid Meteor Shower of 200925 viewsThis composite image was shot in the wee hours of the morning of August 12th, 2009. Shortly before morning twilight began to break, the heavens opened up and a maelstrom of fireballs rained upward from Mighty Perseus' radiant low in the northeast sky. It was a sight to behold and one I shall never forget...
