Geminids by Graham Winstanley of Lincoln Astronomical Society

Geminid trails by Graham Winstanley of Lincoln Astronomical Society.

Taken on Saturday morning 14th December 2013

They were taken with a Canon 1100D at ISO 3200, 30s unguided exposures with zoom at 24mm. The bright star near the centre of the frame is Regulus in Leo. The meteors were all around magnitude -2 and typically for Geminids there is no sign of any terminal flash that is common with the Perseids.

The images were taken as RAW files and then converted to Jpeg and compressed.

NGC891 by Mick Hunt of Lincoln Astronomical Society

Picture by Mick Hunt of Lincoln Astronomical Society - Sept. 2013
NGC891 is located about 30,000,000 Light Years away in the constellation of Andromeda.

It's Magnitude +12.14, a Barred Spiral, probably very similar to our own Milky Way Galaxy and forms part of the NGC1023 Supercluster known as the Local Group. It was first observed by Herschel in October 1784.

M57 by Phil Norton of Lincoln Astronomical Society

Picture by Phil Norton of Lincoln Astronomical Society.

Phil used his 12" telescope for this one.

M57 is about 2.3K Light Years away in the constellation of Lyra and known as the 'Ring Nebula'.

It's a Planetary Nebula, formed from an expanding shell of glowing ironised gas. This happens to Red Giant Stars towards the end of their life when the outer layers of the star are ejected in pulses into interstellar space. The result is the magnificent ring shape seen here.
