NGC1721/1723/1725/1728 The prominent spiral galaxy at the top of the image is NGC1723. The small cluster of galaxies at the bottom of the image are left to right: NGC1728, NGC1725, and NGC1721. ngc1725.jpg (24981 bytes) This image is a composite of thirty 60sec exposures added together.
NGC1931
 
H231; Stock9. This is an emission and reflection nebula surrounding a star cluster. ngc1931.jpg (26328 bytes) This image is a composite of twenty-one 60sec exposures added together.
NGC1977   ngc1977.jpg (32017 bytes)
KX260 Image
ngc1977.jpg (20316 bytes)
AP7 Image
ngc1977color.jpg (21275 bytes)
Each of the black and white images is a composite of five 60sec exposures added together. The color image consists of 45 second red, 45 second green (V), and 60 second blue exposures combined to make a final color image.
NGC1980 This star cluster and nebulosity is part of the Orion nebular complex. ngc1980.jpg (31430 bytes) This image is a composite of ten 60sec exposures added together.
NGC1981   ngc1981.jpg (44799 bytes) This image is a composite of seven 60sec exposures added together.
NGC2023 NGC2023 is the reflection nebula in the center of the image. IC434 is a large emission nebula, the edge of which is visible along the right side of the picture. It surrounds the bright 7.7 magnitude star in the lower right hand corner. The Horsehead Nebula is part of the IC434 complex. ngc2023.jpg (28120 bytes) This image is a composite of eight 60sec exposures added together.
NGC2149 NGC2149 is the bright nebula in the center of the image.  
NGC2158   ngc2158Color.jpg (65048 bytes) This beautiful cluster lies southwest of M35, and in low power wide field views, it appears as if it is a small satellite to M35. It is probably an unrelated background object. This image consists of 30 second red, 30 second green (V), and 40 second blue exposures combined to make a final color image.
NGC2192   ngc2192.jpg (37813 bytes) This image is a composite of four 60sec exposures added together.
NGC2204   ngc2204.jpg (34293 bytes) This image is a composite of ten 60sec exposures added together.
NGC2207/IC2163 These are interacting galaxies. NGC2207 is the larger galaxy on the right, and IC2163 is the smaller one on the left. ngc2207.jpg (33891 bytes) This image is a composite of ten 60sec exposures added together.
NGC2217   ngc2217.jpg (37898 bytes) This image is a composite of fifteen 60sec exposures added together.
NGC2223   ngc2223.jpg (37827 bytes) This image is a composite of twenty 60sec exposures added together.
NGC2237/NGC2238/NGC2244 Rosette Nebula. This is a large bright emission nebula intermixed with a star cluster. NGC2244 represents the cluster in the center of the nebular complex. ngc2237.jpg (63510 bytes)
KX260 Image
Rosette.jpg (43701 bytes)
AP7 Image

AP7 color image
The KX260 image is a composite of thirty 60sec exposures added together.

The black & white AP7 Image is a composite of five 60sec exposures.

The color AP7 image is a composite of a 60sec exposure through a clear filter added to 60sec exposures through red, green (V), and blue filters.
NGC2243   ngc2243.jpg (48675 bytes) This image is a composite of ten 60sec exposures added together.
