New Mexico Skies CCD images: 2007 New Mexico Skies Photos

Here are the latest photos taken at New Mexico Skies on the nights of March 16 and 17, 2007 using their 16" Celestron telescope and SBIG ST-2000 XLM camera. Most photos are stacked from 4 images for about an hour total exposure each photo, and a couple are either 2 or 6 images stacked; one (NGC 1300, which was too low and setting) is only a single image. Since this was late winter I did not have as many impressive nebulae that I would see in the summer - or else I already photographed them. This explains the preponderance of galaxies compared to a few globular clusters (many of my prime targets were still too low at the time) and just one planetary nebula (Abell 39) which was imaged through quickly deteriorating conditions.
