Astronomy Images Spring 1998

The following images were taken as a part of my independent study in the Spring of 1998. Most of the successful images were taken the night of June 3, 1998.

This image is one I took of the moon which is always one of my best subjects when I take pictures. You can see some very nice craters near the top of the photo.

This is another image of the moon. You can see several large maria, but there is not a lot of shadowing on the craters.

Here is a nice shot of the ring nebula or M57.

Here is another photo of the M57 with slightly different exposure times on the red, green, and blue filters.
