Christopher’s Astrophotos

After an absence of updates for over a year, here are my latest additions. These also include a number of images that I call my QAD or Quick And Dirty images – images that I took from my backyard in very bright Calgary AB Canada just because of timing of work and clear skies during their seasons. While not the prettiest, most of them being in simple Black and White (aka “Luminance”) gives one a bit of an idea of what they may appear like in the eyepiece of a telescope, as the dark adapted night vision of the human eye has no colour perception.
