The images below were taken from ESAC using the DSI camera and the 6" AS-GT reflector. The sky transparency was not very good and at some point got cloudy.
M27 - A single exposure of 1 minute, saved as 3-colour FITS. Histogram modified with DS9.
M57 - a single 1 minute, saved as 3-colour FITS file
M13 - a single 8 sec exposure, saved as 3-colour FITS. Two different ranges for displaying purposes
To see a world in a grain of sand
and heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour

ESAC Astronomy Club
This club was founded within the ESAC Social Committee to bring together all the "real" and "hobby" astronomers who have fun looking at the night sky with or without telescopes or binoculars.
