Craters June 2016 Photos

Wescott,
We had a great sky Friday night, didn‘t we? I hope your Saturday was as good. Attached are 4 of the pictures that I took. Please send them out to the Club.
Number 1 is M-104 Sombrero Galaxy. I used a Canon 20D on all the pics. This was on the C11 and through a 19mm Teleview WF eyepiece projection for 1 minute at 3200 iso. I did a poor job centering it.
Number 2 M-5 in Serpens, also used a 19mm Teleview WF eyepiece projection for 30 seconds at 3200 iso
Number 3 M-20 Trifid Nebula C-11 at prime focus f/10   2 minutes at 3200 iso
Number 4 Saturn. I couldn’t get a clear shot at 20 tries so I over-exposed it and went for the moons. After I got home I set my ipod’s Saturn app on Friday evening at 1AM and got the names of the moons that showed up. Titan is the bright one at 10 O’clock. In closer at 9,10, and 11 O’clock are Rhea, Tethys, and Dione. On the opposite side of Saturn, at 2 O’clock is Enceladus, deep in the glow of Saturn and barely visible.
I had another good shot of M-97 Owl Nebula but I accidentally deleted it while deleting some of the Saturn shots. Oh well --- next time.

Wescott,
I found my deleted picture of M-97 Owl Nebula in the recycle bin.  Here it is.  You can add it to my shots from Craters Star Party.  I also see an edge-on galaxy, one nebula diameter above the Owl and some nebulosity next to a star one Owl diameter below.  The picture was through a 19mm eyepiece projection on my C-11 for 3 minutes at 3200 iso.
Thanks, Ron
