A Pile of Galaxy Shots from Saratoga

by Jim Solomon

Duck season? Wabbit season? Not a chance -- it's Galaxy Season! :)

Here's a bunch of images captured over the last week or so from my backyard in Saratoga. All are with a stock Digital Rebel (300D) at Prime Focus of a coma-corrected 8" f/5 Newt. I'm pretty pleased with these given the light pollution and the fairly poor transparency the nights these were shot. Full image details at the links below.
