CCD project - 2000 September 30

The CCD Project was up and running for the NOVA Star Party. There was a pretty good crowd watching the images come up on the 14" monitor I brought along. Because of the short night (we had to be out by midnight, meaning I had to shut down by 11:15), I didn't spend too much time focusing or taking long exposures, but still managed to get a few decent images.

	M13, the great globular cluster in Hercules. 30 second exposure.
	M27, the Dumbbell Nebula in Sagitta. 30 second exposure.
	NGC 6992, a piece of the Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant in Cygnus. 120 second exposure.
	The NGC 7331 group. 120 second exposure. There's four other little galaxies in there, off to the right of 7331, ranging from mag 13.4 to mag 15. Compare with the Digital Sky Survey image (rotated 180 degrees) of the same area if you like.
